KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The one issue that really counts

Do you think we should move away from the anfield area Faz?

That sounds awesome, if they can make it modern and unique. It would be better for the locals and the travellers. They should set up some nice outdorr pubs around the stadium, with big screens for those who just want to come down for the atmosphere.

tough decision but maybe it could be the right move for the whole future of the club

A massive fanzone would be great,the future is big screen experience,watch this space! but who will be the first? hope its us but itl need masses of money.

yes funds could be the issue but liverpool could be the trailblazers in this , IE like in the states , fenway park is famous for its fenway franks and match days so why not here .

I honestly think if something like this does'nt come off we are on the road to the end regarding how much more money fans are going to have to pay to fund a 60k seater stadium, if it's 80k or so we can quite possibly keep costs down or even substidise it with food halls, beer tents and big merchandise stalls all around the concorses. I honestly think the project might be to advanced for those with the power and I fear all we will end up with at most will be 60k in the park with land locked roads,dearer ticket prices, no real road or rail links and basicaly what we have now with an extra 15k congestion.

Yeah, but if the fan zone is encouraged, then people will be encouraged to come and hang out, enjoy the day, and from there buy tickets into the stadium. It sounds like a lot of the local don't see it as a special day (From Ford), so if they can get the vibe a bit more positive and fun, then it could make going to games more enjoyable for the locals, and the Visitors.

I like Stanleys idea of miving it somewhere away from Anfield, where there is space to burn. Would open up a lot of options for the future to mess around with.

The fanzone is deffo the way forward,lots more of us could go and join the atmosphere albeit on the big screen but i would settle for that if the price and accessibility/safety was right,its really exciting that.

Potentially we could be world leaders in football experience however its fine us lot going on what do Fenway think? grant wise there is a lot of opportunity at Omega and with the Ocean gateway and the channel to Manchester this whole area is to be redeveloped massively over next 30 years or so. Liverpool FC have alweays been behind the times off the field I wish to god for once the club would get its act together.

If you look at some of the major sporting events around the world, fans are encouraged to turn up even if they dont have tickets into the event. I went to a World title fight in Vegas a couple of years ago involving a very popular British fighter and over 20 odd thousand fans made the trip even though only about 8k tickets were available because they screened the fight in the casino's and the fans just wanted to get over there and experience all the hype regardless of wether they actauly got in, they could still watch on big screens and not miss out but still get the big event experience. England took about 40k or 50k over to Germany for the World Cup a few years ago even though the F.A. only got about 8k tickets for every game, fans wanted to get the big match experience from the fan parks and watch the games live on the big screens while still getting the atmosphere and experience. This could be the new way of doing things, those who cant get tickets or simply cannot afford them dont need to miss out on experiencing going to the match, if there is giant screens, food halls and beer tents it's all part of the day.
