KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum LFC staying at anfield and the fallout

I think they are still studying what can and cant be done and how much for! it will take time for it to be calculated on all terms, we cant expect them to build or make agreements overnight,but i think they will see that improving the surrounding area will only be of benefit to them,there asset,IE the club, so they are just studying everything at the moment to see who comes up with what.if theres anymore benefits to them before taking the plunge,he has to say something at the moment cos hes asked all the time. just have to wait till the powers that be get there finger out and come to an agreement to suit all

shanks it is aproblem with carparking and crowd control that hinders the revamp too, its a tight area anfield with houses and shops etc.

Even if the do redevelop Anfield it will always be to small in that they will still have to charge sky high prices in order to keep up with Clubs like West Ham and Fulham's of this world, never mind the big four in that although the Grounds are smaller they charge alot more for there tickets. Redeveloping Anfield or moving to a 60k stadiun defeats the object of the purpose for me, we want a massive ground alot bigger than 60k in order to reduce prices and one anywhere in Anfield is simply not feasable given the roads and infrastructure of the area.

Another point. Just because we get more attendants in, it doesnt mean the financial result goes up. A bigger stadium also means higher constructing costs etc.

If we dont fill the stadium its just pointless doing anything.

To all those worried about filling the stadium its not the position now but the position you aspire too. Arsenal did not worry about filling the stadium. Along with Manchester United we are the best supported club in the country we could fill a 70k stadium provided it was marketed and priced right. The stadium on Stanley Park was capable of 70k with a first phase of 60k. But I agree with the previous poster Anfield is limited as an area. However if we go for tarting up Anfield then you can forget LFC being a top club or having a big fan base.

I think John Henry's interest is centred more around the global support than match day sales myself, John Henry does'nt give a damn about whats best for the Football Club or supporters just how much money he can make from them. You can bet your life if we had spent the money we have just spent on those two players without the aid of the Torres money he would of been getting it back through the turnstyles with price increases, same way as he will get the money from redeveloping Anfield or a new stadium.

Very True Marine Boy. We don't know much about Henry he makes the right noises and has the fans onside at the moment. So you have to give him a chance but my fear is like the previous owners he does not have the cash. We did hear at one time about his contacts / consorteums etc. Silence now and the worry is he will do things on the cheap to make a fast buck. Remember he steamed in pretty quick when it was clear G&H were struggling with the re-financing. Nothing wrong it that but worry is he was a speculator who saw opportunity to make a short term gain. Thats the last thing this club needs after the Moores and G&H eras.

It can be done but you would need naming rights. I would imagine even if they re-develop Anfield naming rights would be involved. By the way don't assume developing Anfield will be that much cheaper unless they just put a new main stand and a new roof on Anfield road in which case why bother anyway. If they are to develop Anfield it has to be a full revamp and phased which. Modern stadiums now come in kit form and they throw them up in no time. So the cost differential is there but not as big as you think.

I think it will mean the main stand replaced or expanded to be a 3 tier stand very much along the lines of what Man U have got and the Annie Road will probably be made 3 tier as well somehow. Didn't some plans an architect and LFC fan get drawn up and put on RAWK a few months back?

fuck1t go fo 4 tiers why not put all the away fans up top
