 Welcome to Toffy TV on this historic day as Everton finally got the planning application for Bramley-Mawd Dock, the new Everton Stadium, approved by the British Government. It obviously had gone through local city council approval that was given about a month ago. It went down then to the government who had three weeks to respond. They asked for some extra time and just a week and a half later from that we finally got the news that Robert Jemwick has approved it and it's huge news. The Secretary of State, House and Communities and Local Government sent a letter to the club this morning to confirm that it can go ahead. The 52,888 capacity stadium on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey can happen and will happen and it's back to the club now and the club now will press forward with all the financial side of things getting all that sorted and hopefully we will get a spade in the ground in the coming months. Obviously the dock needs to be filled in and then the stadium will go out of that and it's such an exciting, exciting moment as an Evertonian. Someone who's been sitting around for the last 30 odd years, if you go back to the Peter Johnson era when he wanted to move Everton to a KB golf course and Gilmoss and then obviously there was the King's Dock which looked like it was going to be absolutely amazing. It never happened and then KB which Keogh obviously fought so hard and bravely fought to keep Everton in the city against that. That never happened and then there was the Mutants of Walton-O-Park which seemed like a perfect one. There was also the Wallacey Tunnel, there was that one as well but now finally with this one we've got it and even with this one there was talk it was going to be up in Crockstaff. Luckily enough Everton four years ago went with Bramleymore Dock. We did a video, me and Baz did a video four years ago this week basically, a guide to Bramleymore. You can watch that on the channel where we drove down and we had a look round and a couple of years ago then we got the plans, got to see the plans. It's just felt such a long process and here we are today finally given the approval by the government after so much hard work by people at the club who've done an amazing job to put this together to make sure every eye was dotted and every T was crossed and make sure to, because obviously there was the whole heritage people who were against this haven't changed the plans. Now the stadium looks absolutely amazing with those steps sloping down to the riverfront and it just looks amazing and to have that news today that it's finally going to go ahead is just such a big moment and obviously we know what will be leaving behind in Goulderson Park but obviously there's plans for Goulderson Park and the legacy of that as well so that's fantastic that's going to happen. It's just really really good news isn't it? It's just really good news now that we can go ahead with it and hopefully see that spading the ground in the coming months. The development and the plans for Goulderson's legacy will deliver 1.3 billion boost to the economy, will create 15,000 jobs and will attract 1.4 new visitors to the city. And it's just the idea of having somewhere which is not only for Everton on a match day, generate money, generate money on a non match day house somewhere we can go which will now have Everton Museum which we've been craving for years somewhere that will, you can go and you know a big club shop that you can go down to and go and have a coffee somewhere you can go in the summer and walk down by the river and which connect the city centre to the dock area and hopefully the things that's other things in the area that spring out of it. It's just going to be such an amazing development for the city and for Evertonians and as I said it's something that for the first time in a very very long time it's like Everton have gone for it and have done it and it's just brilliant brilliant news, it's just brilliant brilliant news and looking forward to seeing you know it go up in this thing grow out of the ground. And we've all seen the pictures of what it looks like towards the city centre and seeing those dots joined up towards the city centre as well so it's not wasteland, it's going to be tangible things there, brilliant boost for the city and yeah and it's obviously going to be very very sad at Goulderson Park leaving Goulderson Park and obviously now going back we haven't a lot of people haven't been in there for the last year so the idea of being able to go there from next season we've all just got to enjoy it and make it happen. Every time we go there in events and not take it for granted because we haven't got it for much longer and we haven't had it for the last year so it's huge, it's absolutely huge for the club and we'll be doing a lot more on this in the coming weeks and months and one of the things we want to do is redo that guide and give you a little look at what it looks like now not much has changed but just give everyone an update. Make sure you check out that video as well it shows you the drive from Goulderson to Branwymore so anyone's not familiar with the area can get an insight of what it actually looks like so make sure you check that out but it's fantastic news and obviously in the weeks and months Evan will reveal more about what's happening, they've already got people down there on site doing their tests on the brick work so things are already happening already, everything's in place and it's just a case now of connecting all the dots and going forward and getting the work started and then seeing the stadium grow. Out the ground and seeing a lot of heads fall off the people who thought this was never ever going to happen so really really looking forward to that so huge news today as I said we'll have more news on this in the days, weeks and months coming forward going forward and that's really it isn't it? The only other real news is Dominic Havillian scored twice last night for England as everyone I'm sure is aware so we're good news from him so fantastic news for the club today and we go forward now don't we with the hope of that new stadium on the horizon and big things for the club, there you go.
