KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Five billion waterfront project approved today

The government have given the approval today for te above hotels skyscraedz cruise liner terminal financial centre lots of money to spend on Liverpool,s expensive match tickets.

So why are FSG building a proxy liitte ground sometime whenever.?

We need high caacity stadium lower ticket prices otherwise anther lost opportunity in the future for LFC.

never gonna happen stanley, as for the stadium capacity, I think we need to wait and see how the attendences pan out in the next 5 years, could be stuck with a white elephant if we continue with no success...

wouldnt be a huge great big manic depressive white elephant by any chance

yeah evertonian elephant lol

Liverpool could be second to London in the future or at least one of the richest cites in the uk. And it looks like with a third rate football club.

If Everton get new owners and new ground who see thus opportunity then we coud be permantely second best

this is a 30 year project by peel , i dont know if the club has a five year project never mind a 30 year one .

I don't think that a new stadium will bring prices down as the cost of building a new stadium is huge. This is what happened with Arsenal, the figures I saw posted here shows that they have the most expensive tickets. The new stadium was planned to have 60k seats as is the proposed extension of Anfield. I understand that you feel that if the seat capacity was 75k, then the ticket prices will be lower, but, I think there would also be a step up increase in the building costs when you go above 60k, i read that when plans were being proposed some years back, this is why it never went above 60k as much as I remember.

Bigger capacity equals higher costs and maintenance, therefore higher ticket prices and a new yacht for john henry. One thing's for sure, the club won't spend money increasing the capacity without expecting the ticket ales to pay for it. Money grabbing businessmen do NOT subsidise.

I don't agree look at Germany. My model would be large stadia ticket prices about £30 creating a large crowd and spectacle used to generate sponsorship and TV rights. The current model is ever smaller crowds and higher ticket prices but this is self defeating as eventually we will not have the product to sell to sponsors and TV. Who wants to watch a team with 25k in the crowd in a tiny stadium.

But who is talking about 25k stadium, we are currently close to 45k and the plan is to increase to 60k. There is apparently a step change increase if you go higher due to additional structure which would make the per seat cost higher than the 60k capacity.
