Fans of Everton have been reacting to the Toffees’ latest news on the club’s planned Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium.

On Wednesday, the Toffees announced on their official Twitter account that Laing O’Rourke had been appointed as the preferred contractor for the build (as per Everton), which had some supporters excited.

Should Everton have set a larger capacity for their planned new stadium?

Yes, we could easily have filled a bigger stadium

No, 52,000 sounds like a good amount to me

Everton first announced the plans for their new stadium in July of last year, with an estimated cost of around £500 million and to be finished in time for the 2023-24 season (via The Guardian).

However, while some supporters were delighted about the club’s latest announcement on the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, others were a little more pessimistic about the news.

What do we think?

While some supporters were a little more negative about the announcement, although some were tongue in cheek, it is good to see progress being made in the new stadium’s planning (per Everton).

With the decision of Liverpool City Council over whether the build will be given planning permission set to be made by the summer of 2020 (per Everton), that seems the only thing that can stand in the Toffees’ way now.
