Everton fans are getting excited at the recent news regarding the club’s plans for the new stadium.
The idea to move from Goodison Park to build a new arena for Everton has been in the pipeline for some time and it appears that the dream is starting to translate into something more tangible.
Reports back in 2017 stated how plans for the new ground would cost around £300m, and now it seems the fans finally have some exciting news on the subject.
Everton have reported that 98% of respondents were in favour of the Bramley-Moore Dock waterfront stadium design. The club also told how 96% of voters were in favour of the new stadium and a community-led legacy project over at Goodison Park.
This now means that the club are in a very positive position to submit planning for the new stadium by the end of 2019. As a result, it seems as if the fans have finally heard some good news during this torrid season. One fan suggested “this is one thing Everton are getting very right”, whilst another follower said this is an “unreal Christmas present”.
With such a high number of positive responses for the new stadium, it looks like most fans are on board with the idea of leaving Goodison Park behind. The current home of the Toffees is England’s first major football ground, however, fans are seemingly happy to move on.
Here’s what some have had to say…
