I know Redsox made a lot of their revenue from a TV channel which had PPV on it. But that’s not an option here yet but maybe he thinks it’s in the pipeline. But he did up the ticket prices for Fenway and with the player’s insane wages from the last two years it’s hard to see anywhere ticket prices can go but up. I have had some fantastic years following Liverpool all over the UK and Europe if it ended tomorrow I cannot complain. But for the new fans today I cannot see how that would be possible which I think is a great shame. I passionately believe we need a modern high capacity stadium reflecting the clubs status and with facilities that will take us to forward for the long term, 50 years plus. It looks like that will no longer be the case it’s heartbreaking to see it unfolding. Fenway Park which we are told to look at as an example holds 36,000 and would not be out of place hosting a mid table championship side by English standards.

But he does have a point. Arsenal moved to the emirates which is now known as the library. You do lose the atmosphere when you move.

Jammer I agree with you on that and my season ticket is in a great spot so I am not speaking for my own ends. If I was I would be right behind developing Anfield. But its the wrong plan for the club but the right thing for Henry's bank balance

I think its quite funny that he has offered Newcastle to make as much money as they wanted out of the deal cos Abramovich is paying for it!

Exactly I saw on another website how Henry's spending £70m was a statement of intent. Completely ignoring the sale of Torres and Babel. Abramovich is the one who has dipped into his pocket money that will go into football and trickle down to other clubs. A lot of smoke and mirrors going on. Henry is impressed with the atmoshere at Anfield I wonder if its the atmosphere that impresses or the fact he does not want to fork out for a modern stadium that will take the club forward?
