Friday’s Toffee Bites: Liverpool mayor discusses Everton’s new stadium

Perhaps I’m alone on this front, but the amount of talk that has gone on about Everton’s new stadium is ridiculous. It’s gonna happen. Have a little faith in the club that they will respect tradition in the process of construction this beast. It seems pretty clear that they understand what the fans don’t want and they have roped in a well-respected designer for the project. Of course there will be little bits of news every now and then, but let’s get this show on the road. Enough with the rumours. Just do it!
