Everton have agreed a deal to buy a new dockside site for their new stadium, it's only a couple of miles from Goodison and is apparently the site the fans wanted...

Talks brokered by the Mayor who is an EFC fan.
Compare and contrast, as they say....
 
Water polo?

Also made me laugh seeing the Titanic Hotel nearby, whether that's an indication of Everton's future or not time will tell.
 
It's a really fascinating area of Liverpool. There used to be an overhead railway passing alongside the dock wall in the photos. It'll be a great site for a football stadium.
 
if they manage to include some of that local architecture style in it, it'll look ****ing amazing.
 
So Goodison is the newer, not the newest.

<laugh> careful, you will be getting pulled up for pointing out things like that.

Not exactly. Everton started off at Anfield, but the owner of the ground kept putting the rent up and tried to take over the club, so after a big fall-out, they decided to move out into their own ground.

That left Anfield's owner with a ground but no club, so he formed Liverpool FC.

The owner formed a club called Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd, Everton Athletic for short. THE FA refused to let them use it so they altered it to Liverpool FC. They are registered as Liverpool FC and Athletic Grounds Ltd. Mr Allam suggested that they should shorten the name from Liverpool FC to
Liverpool and Athletic Grounds Liver Birds FC.
 
Wikipedia taking a hammering this morning, I see. :emoticon-0126-nerd:

Someone posted about that at the time of the name change fiasco at City, with the registered names of some other clubs when the registered name of City was mentioned as opposed to the playing name.
