I would be happy to stay at Anfield but will be dissapointed if they can only get 60,000 seats there. if we want to compete with the best clubs in Europe at reasonable seat prices we need at least 70,000 seats. I don't agree with those who say the area cant handle a larger stadium. The GAA in Ireland have an 82,000 + seat Stadium right in the centre of Dublin city and the majority of the crowd come from outside the city most of the time and there's no real problems. I would like FSG to negotiate with the City Council for enough space to achieve a 70,000 seat redevelopment at a minimum If they don't then imo it indicates a lack of real top level ambition for our club. come on guys lets get real. The costs of a 70k stadia and all that goes with it is well out of our reach, its nearer 500+mil. How would they get the return on investment with out charging silly prices? 60k is more than enough as proven many times in midweek games. Manu are struggling to fill 78k this last year or so and their prices reflect ours. Its the additional corperate wich we require, 2000 more corperate seats are worth more than 10000 'standard' seats. All at the cost of 300mil Lets be brutaly honest here, the only reason FSG want to build a new stadium or make the existing one bigger is to get in more of the prawn sandwich brigade in, they dont give a damn about your average paying customer because they dont get enough money out of us. At present on a match day they are entertaining there privlidged guests in the Stanley Park glass house and in the upstairs private function rooms of thre Sandon Pub over the road from the ground which is hardly ideal. People need to get wise here to FSG and what the real intentions of the bigger ground is all about and it's not for us ordinary fans, it's purely and simply to make more money out of the prawn sandwich brigade as at present they are losing valuable income because there is not enough room for them.

It seems there is a lack of ambition among some fans as well as with FSG.

True, but the only other way is to increase prices for the ordinary joe which is not going to happen. Our corperate matchday turnrover is very modest compared to our rivals. Therefore hotel, dining, boxes etc are required if we are to compete. If you want to attract the best we need to increase revenue, this is the best way.

To build a stadium of 70k or more then it has to be built somewhere outside the City with better road and rail network, that will probably open up a can of worms straight away given the sentimental stranglehold our Club is engulfed in.

It seems there is a lack of ambition among some fans as well as with FSG. not really negative. LFC are a massive club but finances for footy are not a priority for many people. Look at the Chelsea game, they hardly brought anyone. Manu had season tickets available until November and they were champs. Loads of mates sold their tickets last season because of the cost - all are doing the same this year. The cost of footy was always on par with going to the cinema until 1990 now its 6times the amount. England only sold 3000tickets for the euro's and France 27 -yes 27tcickets!!! The bubble may not have burst but certainly the air is coming out, Only a fool would spend as freely as before

Ian I think you are overstating the sentimental thing. As you say most of the support is non local now and these people have no axe to grind where it is. I think if FSG announced they were building away from anfield I am sure there will be some outcry but it will be from the vocal minority. FSG got rid of Dalglish and the outcry was muted I suspect if they wanted to move the ground away from anfield it would be the same.

Thats what I said at the begining Stanley, I dont think moving would be as big a deal now as it was a few years ago, there is still alot of people want to stay at Anfield though, if you asked people on here there would be quite a few wanting Anfield tarting up instead of a brand new spanker ground all because of history and sentiment.
