The year 2022 should be a truly momentous one for Everton and the city of Liverpool as their new stadium finally starts to take shape before our eyes.
One year on from the club being granted planning permission at Bramley-Moore Dock, the scale of progress Everton have already made on what will be their new waterfront home on the banks of the royal blue Mersey, has already been remarkable.
Before the usual cynics start sniping about the supposed tactic of churning out an Everton stadium story on the back of a bad result, the landmark decision by Liverpool City Council to give the project the green light was February 23, 2021, with the national government rubber stamping it just over a month later on March 26.
