Description

Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium is the proposed new stadium of Everton FC. Everton has been seeking to build a new stadium to replace the aged Goodison Park since the 1990s. First proposals in the late 1990s focused on a new stadium at King’s Dock in the centre of Liverpool, but failed due to a lack of funding. Attention then centered on a site in Kirkby out of town, but these plans were abandoned by the end of the decade.

Everton obtained planning permission and the site will now be redeveloped into a mixed use, Everton-branded development. After reviewing various options, Everton settled on the Bramley-Moore Dock site on the river Mersey north of Liverpool's city centre. This site, which is a World Heritage Site, was previously a coal loading dock but fell out of use in the second part of the 20th century. The Everton-branded development will now be redeveloped at this site using planning permission obtained.

The first plans were presented in 2017, followed by an extensive consultation period. The final designs were presented in 2019 and planning permission was submitted around the end of the year. Once granted, construction works can begin. The club hope to be able to start playing at the ground from the 2023-24 season.

The project aims to regenerate the wider docklands area north of the city, as well as the site of Goodison Park, which will be demolished.

The Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium will have a capacity of just over 52,000 seats. The stadium will have a single-tier kop stand, similar to Tottenham's new stadium. Designs for the stadium are inspired by the dockland and warehouse buildings around it.
