Heaven help us! I actually agree with Warren Bradley on something!! I agree with him that Liverpool has the infrastructure to host games in 2018.
It certainly has the history, rich in football history, culture and music heritage surrounding the Beatles.
The two fan parks in the "magical" mystery and Newsham Park are very imaginative. I am sure my mate Louise is especially made up with the proposals for Newsham.
Where I differ with Cllr. Bradley is his optimism that both Liverpool and Everton will have new stadia in place.
Let's not forget his administration has been instrumental in delaying the Everton Stadium in Kirkby.
And as for my beloved reds, I have very little confidence that the two American clowns who own us have any real intention of seeing the new stadium project through. I can see them cutting an running in the next couple of years, leaving any potential new owners very little time to get new planning permission, and then develop those plans into reality in a realistic timescale.
Without new stadia, I fear we have only an outside chance of being successful.
With the best will in the world, Goodison is past its sell by date. That's not me being bitter, even most Evertonians would agree with me. Goodison has too much wood,and many restricted views, which would definitely rule this ground out;
That leaves the old Anfield in the absence of any new stadia. In my view, the only things it has in its favour over smaller stadia such as the Reebok is it's 45,000 capacity with little or no restricted views, and also the large Spion Kop.
I think the ball is firmly in LFC's (or more precisely the two clowns who own it) court as to whether the city of Liverpool stages World cup games, assuming that England win the right to stage the 2018 World Cup.

You are absolutely right to say that I would love Newsham Park to be involved in the world cup 2018. But I do have to agree with you that as we do not have new stadiums, nor any real sign of where they will come from, I think this is all very previous!
