Everton stadium plans rejected
Everton’s plans for a new stadium at Kirkby have been rejected by Communities and Local Government Secretary John Denham.
The club and Tesco had hoped to build a new stadium and a shopping complex, in a move which would have seen Everton leave their long-time home, Goodison Park.
Everton chief executive Robert Elstone said the decision had left the club “bitterly disappointed” but stressed it did not mean the end of the search for a new home.
