 Welcome to ToffeeTV, Everton have announced today that they will be taking control of the Bramley Moor dock site on Monday, the 26th of July. So three weeks this Monday they're going to take control. Lango Rourke Everton's contractor will get on with the work that needs to be done which is straight away sorting the wall out and also sorting out the pump tower. Once that's done and the pipe work's done they will start filling in the dock. It's exciting news, but it's very exciting news because it means that all this talk about proposed stadiums it becomes real. The reality, well the least part of back Sundayly she always said today that the time has come to stop talking about the proposed new stadium, talk about the new stadium because it's a reality and obviously we've known for a few months once plan and permission was passed and the government didn't call it in and everything else like that. We knew that we were on the way to this becoming the reality that despite a lot of people of rep persuasion and some very sceptical levitonians that this wouldn't happen, it is happening. I mean to be fair Everton I've been on the site for a while doing testing. We've had stuff up from last September but actually brick and stuff that have been on this samples you see how it copes with the conditions and how they weather over time. So we've done all that testing, we've had the boats out on the amazing in the dock area. Small ships. There has been small ships but these were our small ships. We're not going to take out a lot of them. Not Jeff's small ships. No, no, no, no. Checking the dock floor and stuff like that. All of the stuff that you have to do, the samples, the marine life and everything else that has to be part of it and that's been ongoing but this today I think is very, very significant news that actual real physical work will begin in three weeks on Monday. So it's a big day for the football club. Yeah it is a huge and you know I think everyone's been waiting for that moment when you can stop talking about it as I think and start looking at it like it's real and there's a reality and you can see because obviously we have seen movement down there and different lifting equipment and all that kind of thing and I started being excited but obviously I've clarified now that this is like the real start date of the stadium and yes it'll take time, I think it'll take probably a year to fill in the dock and have all that ready for the actual building work to start building on top of that, something within that anyway, because that's not an easy job obviously but it's just the fact that it will be now Evan's land and we can get on with thinking of it like as a real thing because of course like you just said there, there is that idea of like something, not something could fall through but just is it because we keep on seeing skeptics say the money isn't there and you know caught within Covid world and all these kind of things but now it's, we just want to see that picture become a real picture, like a real picture and obviously it's mocked up. Well it will be won't it because we will see that now and I think obviously always in the infancy in building where a lot of it's done below ground and it's well exactly and it becomes exciting once the building becomes out the ground you know so to speak so that's what we're looking forward to, it is a tangible thing now we're going to see people down there, the signage I believe is going up over the next week or so around there as well, next week to ten days I think there's going to be the signage up for both clubs so it is you know and no more videos of a cone on a dock and you know some outer towners filming it and laughing at the new stadiums because it's a reality now and all the way along everything to be fair to them you know we can pick holes in a lot of what comes out of our football club of times but the one thing I would say and we've been involved in the process certainly the information process with the ground is that they've always hit the kind of deadlines that they've said they were going to hit other markers for the next bit, the next bit they've been very focused on with that to us and it's always been when we get there this will happen and this is another one and they did say building work will begin in the second part of the year, 26th of July the second half of the year so again one of the deadlines and they'll be quite happy that they can actually get some physical work done on the dock so it's great. And of course starting on that date allows obviously the three years which they said it would take to move in and keep them with the test events that would need to be done and all those kind of things it leaves time for them to move in ahead of that season. Kick off August 24th in 2024. Well they reckon the actual stadium build itself takes under two years anyway but obviously within that you've always got contingency having it because obviously things can be delayed or whatever so I haven't had a plan for that three year build which you've absolutely spot on it. If it ran day to day it'd be done on August 26th, 2024 but I'm quite sure the football club would hope that it's done well in advance to get all of those tests. And what's great as well is in the last couple of weeks we've had an Escu piping up again and certain things coming out from them talking about that they basically have put forward that Liverpool would come off the list the sense it would be kicked off, kicked off. But what I think is great is that today we've had also Joanne Anderson who's the new mayor of Liverpool not to be confused with Joanne Anderson. Saying how good it is and what a great, you know, that's fantastic that not only are they going to be in there but also for one of the poorest areas in the country is going to get money pumped into it. And also that evidence of looking after the heritors of the side by the pump house which has just been this building. The hydraulic tower. Yeah, that's what it is. One further down called the pump house at the pub. This one's a lot smaller so you won't be able to get a pint inside. That's fantastic and we've had Steve Rodman as well who's the metro mayor obviously talking about it today and saying how important it is. So straight away it's not only the club that's coming out, the leaders in the city are coming out saying how important it is but there has been that pressure of UNESCO in the background and I know planning permission has been given of course and I don't think anything was ever going to change that but there might have been that lingering fear that some of these two mayors obviously Steve Rodman is a metro mayor so he's going to have more national pressure put on him as well, you know, on it as well and UNESCO is a big thing around the world. We spoke about them a lot of times but it's really nice that they're not taking a back step and saying I know they are fighting to keep it but in tandem with the stadium coming up. They're saying actually this is going to be a huge thing that's going to help the Liverpool Docs, not Hindery. It's really nice that obviously Joanne Anderson's statement actually says Evan are building this fantastic new stadium and they are looking after the heritage of the site so it's almost like two fingers to UNESCO which I think is boss because who needs people talking about heritage of old, old things? Well sometimes it's good to maintain old things because it's a historical part of cities around the world but when you're talking about where we're moving to and you know there was talking about dock walls that were literally built to keep thieves out and you're talking about a dockland that was literally just somewhere to carry stuff off the boat and things like that you know, why has that got to be maintained? It's great if it's fair enough if it's a big... Well it's like the Albert Dock, yes. What I'm saying is if it's a big working thing that you're preserving then fine but an electric dock almost. Why? It's way too much. We're preserving it by breathing new life into it. Exactly, so people will now know we'll be able to walk around it and people will know the history. I believe there'll be historical things there. In fact in the hydraulic tower there's talks about it being a museum we're talking about the site and... To be a very small museum. Well it'll just be a little... It can just have a couple of things up, can't it? But it's a nod to the history of where we are so that does keep that actual whole thing alive by saying look, we're here. You're maintaining it, that's the most important thing. You're maintaining it, you're looking after it but you're giving a reason to look after it and these things were there, they've been there for years. There was still a working dock but for tugbots and pallets... On the next bit, yeah, where evidence bit was. Yeah, but I'm saying but for the next bit... The next bit, yeah. There's a waste site as well there. Cities have to grow, they have to evolve if you can use all things like I was saying with the Royal... With the Albert Dock. Then that was covered in silt in the 80s and then someone breathed new life in it and now it's a working breathing thing and it's... You want that, skyline to stretch, don't you? And that's what this will do, this will bookmark the city and then things will... Just talk about some of the financing. Yeah, Farad Meshiri apparently said he will fund the first £100 million into it so it'll get it up and out the ground and while they're doing that Everton will secure the second part of the funding for that in phase two, obviously done in phases, aren't they? I don't think that's that much of a surprise to everybody, I think he said all along he's going to put 100 million in and end up with other stuff going in so that has been confirmed which means Everton can get on with it and almost not that second part of the funding is in place anyway it's just that it doesn't need, I don't think it needs to be revealed right now how it's going to be so that's just... There's your deposit to get on with building it and we'll get the rest paid so that's good news as well so we do everything is in place now to begin on the 26th I think it's really important now because that is a tangible sign of club moving forward we've got the live of building, it's that we own and I think sometimes you do get lost in what's happening on the field as well and that can really narrow your view of what's happening off the field so on the field it wasn't great but if you then start seeing the stadium getting built and stuff you do believe the club is actually moving in the right direction for us as fans the most important thing is what happens on the pitch I was going to say on a Saturday at 3 o'clock but not anymore but what happens on the pitch when Everton play that's the most important thing but I think it's really important to have this going on in the background as well and representing the new era we've been lucky enough to be down the live of buildings in the offices the sea change from what was at Gooderson and small cramped rooms so what is there tells you the club is going in a direction and now with this new stadium will be the same thing so if we can just get the team alright then that would be a massive influence and what I would say as well is this news has come out because this news has come out not necessarily because of oh people didn't like that news about the manager so let's put this positive news out this will have been the day probably that Everton and Neymar for this stuff to come out anyway giving finances and everything else based on how you like the next financial year and all of that so it's easy to throw it the club isn't it and go oh so I've seen some people doing no no I personally couldn't care less at the end of the day that date it's not like the sat on the idea let's get this on then we'll decide where we're going to start this is the day it starts because that's the day it starts it's as simple as that there's a lot of moving parts in this if it had come out ahead of it no no I'm just saying oh they've put that out to soften that it's come after it so it's the same thing it is what it is the most important thing and the key message in here is Everton begin work on the 26th of July on the proper physical work so that's a huge step forward in this and you write it trying to put the proposed stadium in the bin now and it now becomes the Everton's new stadium a brand new modoc so it's a reality which is great news there you go get ready here we go three weeks on Monday don't rush down at once you know to have a look at it it'll all look quite bored in the first nothing to see and you'll just be in the way Everton are going to construct a time lapse camera as well I think so that'll be interesting you'll just be in the way there you go we've got brand new modoc merch on our website you want to check that out the link is in the description we're both wearing some of that lovely merch so go and check that out if you want to celebrate this by buying a new t-shirt if you're so inspired you want to buy a new t-shirt jump over it the link is in the description and it's in the corner as well we could have done a t-shirt with just the cone on for Liverpool fans because they were made up that'd have been amazing check that out a bit check that out there'll be a link in the corner as well there you go make sure to give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already make sure to check out the guides as well to brand new mod it's going to be on the screen there's going to be a link to the brand new mod video we did when we both went down your guide to brand new mod that we did about three or four years ago that's changed that's why it's still good we will once it starts going so make sure to check that out as well give this video a like subscribe if you haven't already if you want more great videos daily live videos join us over on Patreon see you later
