In the same place without affecting attendance apparently. Most is built in the shell of the current stand and then in the off season the transformation takes place.

so all those people who sit in the mainstand be given money off there season tickets due to having to spend a whole season at least sitting amongst a building site, probably temporary roofs, toilets, refreshment areas and general poor than usual conditions then, surely the Club will re-imberse them some way for the inconvinience caused, least they could do.

The conditions are already poor so it wouldn't make much difference, and they will then get priority in choosing a new seat.

i sit in the main stand its awful stand cramped and posts in the goalmouths , now i pay £800 for that surely that is too much ????

at the moment the seating prices are the same wherever you sit in the stand, the Mainstand extreme wing has obstructed views so are slightly cheaper, I can see in all stands coming soon a ticketing policy where if you sit centraly you will have to pay more than say sitting on line with the penalty area, this in not the case at present, but FSG will surely bring this in as they do in American Football when you sit on the half way line, 25 yard line or quarter line or whatever it is

My seat is in the cententary in line with the directors box on the half way line. I will be definatrely premium and that will be a high priced seat before long. Soon your only chance will be to pay £60 to sit by the corner flag. The days of following your club at the ground is clearly coming to an end and the coroprate people will be more interested in the half time bar and will stagger out 15 mins into second half.

I'm assuming we'd still be at Anfield, especially when it states 'redevelop'. It's possible though it'll effect revenue and supporters on match days, I remember Chelsea redeveloping during the mid 90's, But still played at Stamford Bridge albeit that stand was completely closed as was terraced. Perhaps it'll be the same, Perhaps it'll be different.

I'll be really interested to see how they phase the construction process when the time comes.

The idea sounds like gutting out the main stand and doing all the donkey work, and providing access on match days. (health and safety nightmare but doable) Then the season ends and they get to work on transforming the old stand into the new one.
The increase in capacity will allow Anfield road to be knocked down without losing anything from the original capacity.

e.g. We have a mega new main stand but due to Anfield Road not existing the capacity is constant.

year 0 = 45,500
year 1 = + 9,000 on the main stand - 9,000 Anfield Rd = 45,500
Year 2 = 60,000

Is it really feasible to construct all that within 2 years? I have my doubts.
