Everton FC's plans for a new 52,000-seater stadium have been unanimously approved by city councillors.

The club said the Bramley-Moore Dock site will be a "world-class addition" to the city's waterfront and hopes to host games there in 2024.

The £500m scheme which it's claimed will create 15,000 jobs will now go to the government for the final say.

Everton's £82m plans to redevelop Goodison Park as a legacy project were also approved.

Historic England had objected to the new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock saying it could harm the city's heritage but this was dismissed by the city's planning committee.

Can't wait to see who's going to be the first to hit their penalty into the sea

I wonder what the average number of fans thrown into the water per match will be.

The thought just occurred that since they're somehow keeping the dock in place underneath, they should go the whole way and turn the basement into a submarine pen.

There’s something about a football stadium by the water I quite like. Can’t wait to go.

I'm sure the Mersey has never been that blue.

It is extra deep as it is a dock so the colour is darker than the normal river.

That's costing an absolute fortune. I bet the wankpuffins can't wait to talk about the resultant debt.

Is this that it or is it likely to be called in by the Govt for a Public Inquiry?

EDIT!!

Read the link Screaming J (sorry!) :-

It’s only about 30 mins walk from the City Centre so will be a popular away day.

I meant the main part of the river on the left. I get that on a sunny day it might actually look like that, but I can't confirm that as it's always been cloudy or night time whenever I've been there.

That'll be fun with a force 9 coming in off the Irish Sea. At least you'll be able to see the pitch though.

I wonder if Shrewsbury Town still have their old coracle knocking around? - could come in handy!
