There have been talks of a new stadium for Everton for many years now, and despite the historical significance of Goodison Park many fans are in favour of a move to a bigger home. One of the proposed locations for the ground is Bramley Moore Dock, with many Everton executives including Bill Kenwright being spotted there in recent weeks. As reported by Liverpool Echo, the move could prove to be worth over £300 million to the city’s docklands according to Liverpool Council’s chief executive.
Last week Everton’s Farhad Moshiri was seen visiting the area in order to judge the feasibility of building a new stadium there. It has been said that it could revitalise the docks, and many Toffees fans are said to be happy with the location. When speaking at an event called “Liverpool: A city of opportunity”, Ged Fitzgerald from Liverpool Council spoke about the plans.
“The stadium could be the centre of a new £300m stadium and associated developments which would create an anchor point at that end of the river” he said as reported by Liverpool Echo.

“I think there’s some really exciting potential opportunities for that stadium in that location.
“That itself would create a massive magnet and anchor point for the regeneration of the wider North Liverpool area and would be a fantastic destination and attraction in its own right. And I say that even as a Liverpool fan.”

There has been nothing yet set in stone regarding the project or even how big the capacity would be, but these latest developments certainly represent exciting times in the near future for Everton Football Club.
As they continue to thrive under new manager Ronald Koeman, supporters will hope that this is another step towards restoring their reputation as one of the biggest clubs in the country.
