adamsmith69 Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 i don't want to leave either. Do you think if we throw toys and dummies onto the goodison pitch, they will get the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Unsure how these things ("called in" planning applications) are announced but I have to say I'd be surprised if it were left to the applicant to reveal the decision. It's the decision of the Secretary of State so I'd have thought it'd be down to John Denham's office to announce it...unless they've given Everton prior knowledge of the decision . Sounds a bit like an out of hand rumour to me . Could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Plus tomorrows the dealine day so I guess even if its a yes or no you would expect some sort of press conference, maybe not to announce it but to get some reaction. Im actually quite nervous... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 THE Government has rejected the plan to create a new Everton stadium as part of a Tesco development in Kirkby. Communities secretary John Denham decided that the projects would breach shopping policy to discourage major supermarket chains sucking business away from town and city centres. But he was only convinced of that today, two days before he was legally obliged to make up his mind. A major factor behind his alleged dithering was the potential to regenerate Kirkby, provide the football club with a brand spanking new stadium, pour over £400 million into the region, and create up to 7,000 short-term, long-term and supply jobs. The decision, which will be spelt out later tomorrow took regional MPs and ministers by surprise. Most had assumed that the jobs and investment potential would, when it came to the crunch, outweigh shopping policy. Knowsley North and Sefton East MP George Howarth said: "I deeply regret this decision in a time of significant economic challenge to the whole of Merseyside during a recession."

Small point given the fact that most people are happy with the result but it does piss me off big time that every decision or announcement this government makes is leaked ahead of schedule. If there's a procedure why wasn't it followed? Stupid question....it never is <_< . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That statement is very fuunny.. what do they think every fuckin out of town supermarket is doing... All these american style depots with the standard JJB Sports, PC World, Toys R US etc.. Very funny! I do believe we should stay at Goodison though, and Kenright should get his fuckin wallet out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
