Everton abandon Walton Hall stadium plans

Everton have abandoned plans to build a new stadium at nearby Walton Hall Park, ostensibly for economic reasons, although the plan attracted strong local opposition.

Together with the City Council they have identified two possible alternative sites.   The city’s mayor believes that a new stadium could be up and running in three years which is quite ambitious given the planning involved and the time needed for construction.
