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

omega is on the liverpool side of warrington yes it would controversial at the start but if its priced correctly match tickets , train/bus fares to and from liverpool its could be the way forward .

Sounds great to me ford,get your letter into the club asap.Just one note of caution sadly i was in town at the last Euro's big screen showing 4 years ago now and we where there for about half an hour before the drunken louts started throwing cans in the air,we quickly had to go and then the police turned the screen off, so if the safety can be guaranteed itl be fine.Thats the only negative but an important one,all we need now is for Mr JH to get his finger out and sort it.

Remember it well, this is where we need to turn around the whole matchday routine so it concentrates on the whole day instead of an hour or so before and after where fans try to get as much ale down the necks in such a short space of time, much better to have a bit of food, bit of drink, bit of entertainment stretches the whole thing out instead of concentrating and squashing it all into a couple of hours before and after.

I can see that getting the children involved a lot more too. Get the food, bit of fish and chips, get the family together. Make booking availible, if you want to get a large group together, so that the children and the oldies are able to come relax, enjoy the game, without the threat of being victims of swearing etc.

I was getting really bored to go and find the suarez evra thread :P

Why would buying a 300m stadium suddenly make the club worth 3bn? It can't do that by itself. The value of a property is directly related to how much money it makes you over the course of a year. SI suspect an additional 30k seats will increase the match day revenue by only 30% (after concessions and price reductions so that we can actually fill the stadium with the people who go to the matches currently rather than being LFC with zero local fans in the ground [in which case the stadium might as well be in London]). Since the gate itself does not pay for a lot of things outside wages, investing another 75% of what the club to achieve a 30% higher wage bill does not make good business sense.

Liverpool FC is a strong brand name with millions of supporters worldwide. This is an envious position shared only by one other club in the EPL. It’s about time the powers that be at Liverpool FC learn how to leverage this.

A new football stadium is necessary and it should go beyond just building a stadium. The complex should also house a hotel and a mall. Then the entire package should be marketed to especially overseas fans. It could be marketed, for example, as a tour package for a week with a live game thrown in. All this taken care by LFC tour agent’s offices in the respective countries. The tourist dollar impact on the local economy and LFC should be substantial. I again reiterate that Liverpool is only one of the two clubs capable of doing this because of massive fan-base worldwide. In fact, given that Liverpool is a club situated away from the London area is a positive because then most of the tourist dollar would remain in the Liverpool area. The opportunity for profit would come from multiple sources.

Of course my idea of the complex mentioned is rather simplistic but I am sure there are people who would be able to do that, just as I am sure there should not be a lack of investors given the scenario.

If the project is managed properly, I see both LFC as well the Liverpool community benefitting.
