KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Carlsberg in stadium naming rights talks

Why cant we go to 80-90000 stadium? Are there laws preventing the club from building that many seats? Wold it be difficult to control?

I frankly dont give a damn if they manage to secure a sponsor for the new stadium, i think it would be a great piece of business.

They could secure the naming rights for 20 years, after that it would be open to tender for the highest bidder:)

How does Standard charterd anfield sound? Lol

At some point someone is going to have to giove up something to move forward, i think if they secure the sponsorship, the ANFIELD name might have to b given up.

spending so much just to increase 15000 seats...come on...should not be a restriction.they might need alterations in the design as far as this is concerned.but practically its not impossible.there stadia housing fans exceeding 100,000.they possibly want to save the expenditure in redesigning to increase the capacity,

.sticking to 60000 is weird.we need close to 80,000 capacity..why in the hell we need a new stadium then ppl???

naming should not worry at all anyone.anyone.hefty monies all we need to move on.would be a great addition,

I think its very basic and easy, he we build now a 90000 seater stadium, we increase revenue and save costs, but if in 20-30 years time we decide we need to increase the seats, it could cost us close to half or 3/4s of the price it cost to build the new stadium. Steel goes, up, concreate goes up...

I say we take the knock now, 80000-100000 seems fair to me.

Can't see us building a stadium with only 15.000 seats more than anfield...I would love it if the new stadium had a capacity of 80.000-90.000, but i think it will be a 70.000+ stadium from the beggining...

I think we are restricted with the capacity by the planning permission. I don't think we can go above 75-80k cos the traffic chaos it would bring, but we need to build as big as we can as soon as we can. We could fill 80k stadium & even if the Yanks are being a bit conservative we could fill it with kids at £10 a pop! Even I could afford to take my kids then.

I reckon we go the biggest we can go with the resources we have, because in 30 years time, who knows what things will cost.

its funny that u are allowed 60 k but later can be extended to 75 or 80k...that means it wont cause traffic chaos then???

it will be a blunder if we stick to 60k. 80k wound be fair enough having further an option to extend by 10/20k or so..would be ideal. No idea about the exact location but traffic impact and everything can be managed.we are not the only club in the whole damn world to build a new stadium. everything is possible

They have a plan to open a nearby goods train line which runs from the docks directly on to the main line. I think it is called the Oliver Mount Line and would be used as a loop line from Liverpool City Centre going clockwise through Kirkdale, Anfield, & then down to Edge Hill. They've checked it out & last i heard they were looking for European funding to help build a train station on Utting Avenue & somewhere else. This would allow the capacity to increase from 60k.
