Everton confirm plans to move to new stadium........ (plywajacytartak).......After a weekend of rumour and speculation, Everton have confirmed their desire to move to a new stadium. The Liverpool Echo reports that the new ground would be situated, as widely predicted, at Walton Hall Park approximately one mile from Goodison Park. Details are currently vague, but Liverpool council would be an official partner along with housing association Liverpool Mutual Homes. It is hoped the project would provide around 1,000 jobs for the region as well as providing a number of new homes and leisure facilities. No property needs to be demolished or cleared in order for the project to go ahead, though mayor Joe Anderson says the public will be fully consulted......I grew up playing on that park ......LATEST......Regular visitors to Walton Hall Park have told the ECHO they have mixed feelings about the prospect of Everton FC’s new football stadium being built in the park. The club says it wants to move the short distance from Goodison Park to Walton Hall, in a bid to increase their capacity and build a more modern stadium. After the ambitious plan was revealed yesterday, the ECHO spoke to park users to gauge their views on the issue. Karen Duffy, from Walton, said she visited the park twice a day to walk her Jack Russell dog and was concerned about the effect on the community.
