Did Everton not apply for planing permision to build on Stanley Park First and Knocked back. Hence all the uproar when we applied and got the Planning for a new stadium on Stanley Park. Can't remember why they where knocked back, but I doubt they will ever leave their ground unless they ever get new owners which seems unlikly as Kenwright say's he would but inrealty he won't.
i've heard 2 versions the 1st one is they wanted to build opposite woodison,which ment filling in the lake so that was a no no.the other i heard last year from one of the lads from keep everton in our city,he said its a myth that efc got knocked because they never applied in the 1st place.
