Everton are due to move into their new stadium in 2024. With a 52,000 capacity that sits on the River Mersey, it will bring new life to fans of one of the longest serving clubs in the Premier League.
But the area it's being built, Bramley-Moore dock, has a troubling past that needs to be reflected upon and recgonised.
Written by Simon Hughes and illustrated by Philippe Fenner, we look at the history of John Bramley-Moore and the docks that the Toffees will call their new home.

As an Everton fan, this is top stuff.
I thought the name was great for the stadium, but that will certainly need a revisit
How about:
Vauxhall Stadium
Regent Road
or simply Everton Stadium?
Something incorporating "Mersey" would also be quite fitting, but given that Anfield is more or less nicknamed "Merseyside" (if I'm not mistaken), it's probably not a good idea.
EDIT: But I guess the stadium name will be sold off anyway, so it will probably be something along the lines of ćșèłŁäœ çéé-Stadium.
@@lonestarr1490 Can I suggest Goodison Docks?
@@lonestarr1490 The club have already stated the name is Everton Stadium until they get a suitable sponsor. Anfield has never been nicknamed Merseyside.
The irony is it will probably be named after some multi National company thatâs currently engaged in dubious labour and environmental practices.
i knew most of this and came into this video negatively, as i thought you were going blame everton for the history thatâs got nothing to do with the current club, but you dealt with and explained this very, very well. as an everton fan, thank you for this. it was needed
Say and recognise but not be proud, very important and I think really well put
As a (foreign) Everton fan, important video to make. It's kind of funny how this has nothing to really do with football but it has the same style and tone. I absolutely don't want this guy's name on the stadium and would like something as a memorial if anything
Your opinion is irrelevant mate, you're not even from Liverpool or England
@@thebarnacle6402 your opinion is irrelevant. Everton are not an English business.
@MAN
You cannot, and should not, change history. What happened, happened.
@@johnburns4017 Why do people always make this childish 'change history' argument? Nobody is trying to do that. I'm sure you agree that it wouldn't be great if all the streets in Berlin that were still named after famous Nazis and their triumphs - changing the names of these streets didn't 'change history', it merely recognised that current society doesn't want to celebrate those people in the way past societies did
The International Slavery Museum is part of the Maritime Museum on the Albert Dock, the exhibits were there before 2007. The video suggests that was some watershed moment for the city but it was just a new name. Really worth the visit by the way.
Liverpool had long been on my bucket list, but knowing that this gem of a place exists is all the more reason for me to go.
Amazing bit of reporting! Frankly fascinating and we're all better for being aware and privy to this bit of history! Amazing work Tifo!
Wrong on so many levels
@@HHM706 what?
WRONG
@@drosso4956 WRONG
History should never be forgotten.
Shame then we only remember the past 2000 years of a 200,000 year human existence.
As long as it's cherry picked for a current agenda and ignored if it shows one up!
@@Elliot-T That's Prehistory not history.
Correct. We should never forget that African peoples invented slavery, and were by far the biggest users of slavery.
I commend this piece because I feel we should be allowed to talk about history even if it makes others uncomfortable.
And without fear of being cancelled to high heaven.
its an intresting one, hard to blame the people of today for events two hundred years ago but I think if Everton came out acknowledgeing that the land they are building on is developed by slaves it would do a lot for them. And then of course, rename it
When bringing these bits of history up, people are almost never blaming the people of today. They're requesting acknowledgment and recognition of the wrongdoings of the past and the effects they might have today, if any
@@BboyCustomz good point
No one is blaming people today
@@T.E.S.S. lol look how defensive he got đ
@@skp8748 It's a very common way to react when this sort of subject comes up, though it's often expressed in a much more unpleasant way. Josh seems like a reasonable person but that defensive reflex is still there đ€·ââïž
Absolutely fantastic coverage of a sensitive subject. Well done.
Wasn't expecting this first thing this morning, but a nice piece, presented appropriately. Hopefully Everton come up with a suitable approach.
Everton have stated they'll commemorate the name of the dock in some form, hence the name change to Everton Stadium Project'. It won't be whitewashed. It isn't Everton's style.
Shame the reporter responsible didn't ask the club to comment. Hack piece at best.
@@markc2767 It's a bit of history that non-fans may not have known about, so I think 'hack piece' is a little harsh. They didn't disparage Everton in any way just by highlighting the history of the stadium location.
@@KindredBrujah Maybe not now, but the original title of 'The Bleak History of Everton's New Stadium' would suggest an agenda. I originally clicked on it, thinking it'd be about the litany of failed stadium proposals from Peter Johnson's Kirkby Golf Course idea to Walton Hall Park, with Kings Dock and Destination Kirkby in between. Instead we have an article about an 18th Century mayor with some shady dealings, who the plot of land Everton are building on is named after..
What an interesting and underrated kind of articles, great content go on
This is very informative. Honestly, Qatar 2022 eventually brought up something that shouldn't become a topic, but it did anyway. And it's fair to acknowledge the cruel past to unveil the truth and learn to accept themselves.
@@sirwinstonchurchill2052 People.
OMFG, I just can't here for footie chat. Wow, amazing vid and incredible accompanying article. đ
great video as always
Can you do a documentary on the San Marino national football team (football's biggest underdogs) and their never-ending struggle in international football. Loving the content â€
Why do we need to learn about a micronation unsurprisingly struggling every time?? đ€
@@aidygooner you're a moron
@@aidygooner I mean we recently had a whole video dedicated to footballers getting a good night's sleep. A video about San Marino, their constant struggles, the players that play for the nation (record appearances and goalscorer), their famous first point in a draw against Turkey in 93, and their win against Liechtenstein in 2004 would all make for an interesting short video essay. They're essentialy the biggest underdog in world football, and everyone loves an underdog story.
@@aidygooner It's a microstate not a micronation
Very well handled Tifo, such a sensitive subject and it was delivered with respect
This is fantastic. Thank you.
Excellent video
Good historic research, great synthesis and presentation of info. One of your best videos guys
@@sirwinstonchurchill2052 probably, but don't you think any chance to learn some history for the average fan is a good thing? Those little pieces of research is what set Tifo apart from the rest from the get go
@@sirwinstonchurchill2052 I think I can see what you're saying and I agree with most of your points. The simple question is, can it be avoided when a football club chooses that name for their stadium? Is it better to not know anything about it- simply calling it?
You are completely right that history is potentially here for anyone who wants to learn it, but we live in a world where that simply doesn't happen. For even the few that will learn a bit and then check some more, it is worth it.
As for certain agendas, I'm not entirely sure what agenda Tifo represents, but I don't think someone's political views will change drastically from this video. Most people don't even have close to concrete opinions, and without being challenged by a bit of knowledge, they won't have any chance of thinking- they'll simply consume.
Phenomenal video. Very elegantly put together.
Garbage more like
The amount of people who watch a video like this and immediately get defensive is staggering. Itâs literally just a history piece to inform people of something that once happened.
That has absolutely nothing to do with football
Let's look at the history then Africans sold the slaves to the European have you said anything about that no its the big bad white man thats all you ever get told
@@_Super_Hans_ it became to do with football when Everton decided to build a stadium there.
Nice to see the old tifo/umaxit kind of video here againđđ. We need these much later on when World Cup starts to find something else after everybody talks about world cup only
It's nice to see that the TIFO comments section is very civil and reasonable. Any other football platform, people will call TIFO snowflakes for even discussing this.
I think they are. You can think they are in a civilised, non rude way.
Adding plaques, as mentioned in the video, is a civilised way of treating the street names. Riots and pulling down statues is uncivilised.
@@danielwebb8402 no meaningful change was ever created through what you consider âcivilisedâ action
@@Manivilization
Assuming "3 of the 7625 protests were valid the past century. Therefore I get to assume my one. The 7626th. Is the 4th valid one" is very arrogant and just poor maths.
Because the telling of this story was level headed & just told us the facts.
bit embarrassing that people are genuinely outraged by this. need to grow up.
I enjoyed the video it's very interesting and I have Read the article and cancelled my subscription as what John Bramley-moor did has no link to Everton football club something this article ignores even making Everton out to be a racist club
What song is that playing in the background?
The sad history of many big cities in the UK, especially on the west coast, Glasgow and Bristol much the same.
As an Everton fan, I hope this appropriately handled.
Every big city in the world over 200 years old was involved in slavery in one form or another.
Ahistorical nonsense, I guess the blueprints for Stephensons rocket were found in Ghana and the blast furnace in South Africa. Bristol having 95 percent of Europes zinc played no part or Cornish tin or the skills of Glaswegian dockers and ship builders. The multiple ports along the coastline the temperate climate. Why does no one asks why Africa was so vulnerable, why did it not have it's own navy?

What a beautiful video. As an Indian watching from Europe, this information would have never crossed my life if not for Tifo. Amazing stuff. I feel for those slaves.

@@praddumnvats6759 Puneđ
Lived in Liverpool me whole life and had no idea, I'm truly richer after watching this video
If is that controversial then change the name of the stadium. It's not rocket science is it?
Great video to comment on sports washing without sounding too preachy.
Some consider names irrelevant, but I think it's essential to properly name any component of infrastructure anywhere around the world whether they had colonial past or current conditions of autocratic and single tribe rule.
Saying this is something from a long forgotten past doesn't mean it should be left as it is, and this excuse should make it less of a problem to change the names anyway.
People point to the Middle East for sportswashing but refuse to condemn virtually every major US sport for being historically and institutionally racist, or that virtually every English,Scottish,Welsh and certainly Irish team have roots in slavery, bigotry, parochialism, bolshevism and the class system.
The FA , the Premier League, the EFL are representation of British society as a whole, and people keep sneering at the Middle East and China for sportswashing
This isn't about sportswashing

It's a name on a dock. What does this have to do with football or the stadium being built today?
Who was the person that went unnamed alongside John Bramley Moore?
Was about to subscribe. No thank you I donât do woke
Why was this video's title changed from "The bleak history of Everton's new stadium" to "The bleak history of John Bramley-Moore"?
Because it's not really related to Everton's New Stadium? the only thing relating John Bramley-Moore and Everton's Stadium is that the Stadium were built on the Harbour.
Because itâs got fuckall to do with the stadium and everything to do with the name of the Dock.
@@WeebsWithGlasses71 Yeah, I get that - I watched the video - I just wanted to hear from the Athletic themselves.
BM & BMDâs history needs acknowledging and then we really have to move on. I for one canât believe either of these names will be included in the eventual naming rights. Right now the club is referring to it as the Everton Stadium so itâs already moving the narrative. Letâs not forget Liverpool losing its heritage status included the new stadium build so the historical status of the site was deemed important despite its connections to BM.
EFC has already done a fantastic job of preserving the structure and the plans for the pump house and some of its infrastructure are well advanced. The museum has done a great job of acknowledging the history and links to slavery and I hope we (EFC), do something on a smaller scale at the old pump house site which is well underway to being fully restored.
I think it is absolutely fitting that the site is being repurposed for a football stadium which is so important to the city and itâs more acceptable history. A stadium for the people at the heart of a regenerated project to bring the entire area back into life for the people. Of course the already rich owners will get richer on the back of it but that is not as important as bringing new history and new life to the area.
It's being called everton stadium
Good thing Richarlison left.
Am I imagining or did they really change the title of this video?
Yep they did
I look forward to the episode you do about how over the course of 2 decades liverpool fc destroyed a community and neighbourhood, forced people out of their homes and left people destitute so they could build their new stand.
Never head about this. Can you elaborate, or point me to some reading material that outlines this further? Ta

You finally do something about Everton and itâs negative. What a shocker
Liverpool first to abolish slavery. Hats off to you! A great historic city đđ»
Love this lazy way of learning important stuff about football
Case closed. Find another location!
I doubt you'll find an Everton fan who doesn't agree that Bramley-Moore's name shouldn't be used or associated with the stadium. I just hope that the sponsor the stadium ends up being named after isn't too garish - otherwise I feel like people will default to calling it Bramley-Moore anyway.
Yes unfortunately the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium rolls off the tongue a bit too easily and has been informally used to refer to the stadium throughout the whole planning and building process and with an unsuitably garish sponsored name, I fear that the name Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, despite never being an official name associated with the project, will become the de facto nomenclature for referring to the stadium
Everton Stadium or Mersey Arena maybe?
Here's my ÂŁ2 to support the Grindr Merseyside Arena
I would NEVER refer to it by HIS name....
It's the 'Everton Dockyard Dump' !!
@@god_ynwa the two immature people are kopites đŽ
The Dock should still be named after him but with a plaque explaining who he was or a monument to anti - slavery so the dark history is remembered and not repeated.
The stadium shouldn't be named after him though as the stadium has nothing to do with the man or the vile actions he allowed. Hopefully they can find a better name.
This isnât anything to do with football or Everton - as long as they donât rename their stadium after him of course. You could go back thousands of years and Iâm sure bad things have taken place in many areas where stadium have been built.
For what itâs worth I did enjoy learning the history from this video but donât think it has a place here. I donât know, maybe itâll be balanced out with a video on Standard Charteredâs links to the TalibanâŠ
He's just another part of the British establishment. I pay taxes to people who had my ancestors in chains.

@@johnburns4017 he's just roleplaying dude, no need to bite
Iâm glad to see Everton is working to find a solution to acknowledge the role slavery played in the fortunes of John Bramley-Moore upon whom the dock where their new stadium is being built is named.
More broadly the wealth and prosperity of places like Liverpool and Glasgow was built on the exploration and suffering of slavery and colonialism. Even more broadly capitalism all the way to the modern day follows that same model where a privileged few get extremely wealthy off the exploitation and subjugation of the many below them.
The very least Everton could do n is acknowledge the dark past of Bramley-Moore that he has tried during his lifetime to whitewash. Without actually celebrating him and what he did (something that naming a dock after him kinda does)
With our joke of a mayor, I'm sure they'll be plaques all over it. It's funny that you mention the Irish, as since they made the biggest contribution to Liverpool, there's no mention in any plaques or any museums to it.

Nothing to do with Everton FC or football. Why wait for a football stadium to be built there before discussing this person?Trying to taint by the most tenuous connection. Now do a video of how Liverpool FC tried to blame others for the Heysal disaster before dragging every other English club down with them. Use the club chairman's actual words.
No, I didn't think so.
Whilst I get a lot of this with statues, and have had to take a piece of land available to them, and to be fair in many cities. The lack of building land is a much bigger issue in modern times than what went on 150 years ago.

Everton's stadium is 53,000 in capacity. Way too small for such a club. The club say it can be expanded to 60,000. The cost would be off the scale to later extend for an extra 7,000, rather than building in the 7,000 at the onset. This is assuming planing permission would be granted to expand the stadium, which would be unlikely in such a confined waterlocked site. The Bramley Moore site is just too small, and its waterlocked location makes it difficult to expand as space is limited for crowd dispersal in panic situations.
Transport provision is poor with the nearest Merseyrail metro station a good 15-20 minutes walk away - a small station that is unable to make a great impact on shifting a 53,000 crowd. The bottom line is that Bramley Moore is a poor site for a stadium.
Everton had the choice of another near dockside location at Garston - yards from Garston Docks. Adjacent to the docks is the substantial Garston gasworks site being vacant and cleared for a long time. It could fit two 60,000 seater stadia, but clearly one 60,000 seater with large exterior concourse with fans facilities for sure. Garston has an old world charm about it.
Garston's transport access is exceptional having many dual carriageways converge on the district. About 500 yards from the site is the the 6-platform Liverpool South Parkway station linked by dual carriageway Horrocks Ave. Horrocks Ave would be a _Wembley Way_ to the stadium. South Parkway can shift the fans for sure. Multi-platform Wembley Park station shifts 35,000 per hour as a guide. The new Mersey Gateway bridge is not far from the site with road access to the M56 and M62 easy. The site even has an airport next door. How good do you want it! If it easy to get to with top facilities, then fans will come. The amazingly successful Emirates stadium has proven that, being surrounded by 27 mass transit platforms. The city of Liverpool has a mass-transit metro, yet the mayor and Everton F.C. ignored it. Unbelievable.
The mayor Liverpool at the time, Joe Anderson, pushed Bramley Moore onto the new Everton owner, an Iranian, Fahad Moshiri. The inarticulate Anderson was arrested on corruption charges. Farhad does not have the historic feeling for the city being persuaded that Bramley Moore Dock was the site for Everton F.C., and that the council would pull out all stops to get through planning permissions - they even offered financial assistance. A true Liverpolitan with a feeling for the city's history probably would have thought differently.
Large parts of historic Liverpool were recognised as a World Heritage Site by the UN (UNESCO). Bramley Moore Dock was inside the World Heritage zone. Because of the distain shown by the city towards the historic sites, under Anderson's stewardship, Liverpool was stripped of World Heritage Status, with UNESCO actually mentioning the construction of the out of place stadium. The largest stripping of the status by UNESCO - ever. A whole city stripped. A true embarrassment to the city and the UK. Saying that, British prime minister Boris Johnson could have stepped in to rescue the embarrassing situation but did nothing.
Everton could have had all it wanted at Garston and the city retaining its World Heritage Status. A win, win. But both lost out big time.
The docks sat derelict for decades. The projected increase of both jobs and tourism to the north of Liverpool is well worth the loss of a status which has little to no effect on tourism in this great city. Nobody came to visit the dock before now, the dock walls and the hydraulic tower are being restored I donât see what the issue is as it benefits everyone.
@@Ryxn97
Read what I wrote. The Garston site was perfect for a stadium. The city should have directed Everton to the site. Everton should have had the sense to see the site was for them and went for it. If the dumb US owners of Liverpool had sense, they would have gone for the Garston site rather than spend a fortune on updating inadequate Anfield.

Something that struck me when I was watching HITC Sevens latest piece on Qatar (The WC) - Most of the western countries have a pretty murky past with Slaves and who built up those countries? Its the same thing in different variations, but because we did it first its okay?
I don't think there's any argument that it's 'OK' for us to have done it. Our ancestors made these mistakes and we live with the consequences - both good and bad. Thanks to that, we should know better now to not support countries and regimes that are doing the same. We should learn from our history and do our best to ensure it's not repeated.
@@420meezle I agree. I'm just saying it feels somewhat hypocritical to call out countries doing the same thing we did just a couple hundred years apart.
Not saying it's ok, it's a mistake of the past and we have to learn from it. It'd be weird to make a hyopcrisy argument when you're talking about nations, who's heads of states are generations apart from the people who did such things.
@@ThemboNoodle you could say the same about the people in Eastern countries doing it now? My real question here is why is it OK for us/our generation to benefit and let's be honest for the most part not address our past (we still have a monarchy for example) but tell other countries not to do it?
@@WGK90 But they're not in the past, it's a mistake they're making now, that we have the ability to call out to help actual people suffering now. And in cases like this it's more individuals calling out Qatar, who probably also have complaints about the monarchy. A person isn't morally responsible for the country they were born in, even if they benefit from its stature, cause they had no choice in that.

If they're not naming the stadium after the dock (which they aren't) then the history of the site has absolutely nothing to do with Everton or football in general. Baffling.
The article never mentioned that the stadium was the final straw in UNESCO stripping the city of its World Heritage Status.
@@johnburns4017 It was a derelict wasteland providing nothing to humanity. Liverpool is my second favourite city in England (after my home city). Regeneration is what has made the city what it is today.

This new ground for Everton will do a lot more for the people of Liverpool than some rotting old dock. Nobody visits Liverpool for some UNESCO status or to see this site as it used to exist.

The 1848 Bramley Moore Dock was a *fully operational dock* until the pumps came filling it in with sand from the river. The Svitzer tug fleet had its base there with two quays for sand dredgers, with sand processed on the quays. Trucks were constantly in and out of the dock gates transporting the sand. It was commercially viable.
The World Heritage Status was to direct the city to rebuild to its heritage. A heritage important the world. The philistine inarticulate mayor did not have a clue. He was arrested under corruption charges. UNESCO said a stadium was not within the history or in the agreement for the site.
The World Heritage Site done properly would have created another Amsterdam out of the interconnected dock waters, of world renown. But the philistine mayor had a stinking sewage plant built on Wellington Dock and a concrete stadium next door on Bramley Moore Dock - both on the World Heritage Site. No kidding.
Chavs 1-0 City of Liverpool
@@johnburns4017 Youâre twisting so many facts. It wasnât fully operational whatsoever and there where no plans to turn the docks into âanother Amsterdam.â It was sitting derelict in a deprived area of the city and the plan Everton and the council have put in place is going to economically revive that area. Also the Mayor was arrested over allegations completely separate to the stadium and Iâm pretty sure heâs no longer being investigated.
