Too little too late. The club s already well behind our Rivals and with such a low capacity ad FSG greed the ticket prices will be through the roof
i dont think FSG are greedy, I think they are very practical business men. Probably too practical.
The cost of a new stadium is 350mil+ and then you are left with an old stadium which has no commercial value(unlike highbury flats). Therefore an expansion of Anfield was only ever the real workable solution. The money generated by 15000 extra seats has to pay back at some point and that means 50% of those new seats has to cooporate and bring in £100+ a ticket.
FSG are no fools and wont waste 200mil because fans want them too. Anfield is a rough area and we have to recognise tha no fancy new stadium will bring in other incomes outside of matchday. Football prices are in slow decline and any future return cannot be guaranteed. The UK has a declining indigenous population which means fewer football fans are being created. There are no youngsters at the match anymore and in twenty years we will see alot of clubs going to the wall.
