And that scoobz, is bloody good news, given FSG would saddle us with a mickey mouse redevelopment while the UAE guys might build a stadium fit for purpose of around 75,000 seats, these guys don't usually penny pinch nor do they suffer from myopic vision. I hope it's all true.

Just on a side note - there was talk a while back about the redevelopment of Anfield: not only up, but down...

Does anyone know if we can dig down at Afield - lower the pitch??? If we could add to the tiers and dig down at the same time it'd give us the numbers we need - make the place terrifying as hell to play at for away teams too.
(Just don't want a new stadium, is what I'm getting at)

Sorry for hijacking the thread cool

Liverpool is based on a bedrock of sandstone so yes is the answer

If its sandstone as Stanley says then its doable and if that would give us a capacity of around 75,000 seats I'd be all in favour of it. Of course FSG would probably find some excuse to rule it out as they want to do a cheapie on it.

THe gillet and hicks new stadium was to dig down I think. Its also down at the millenium stadium which is a jaw dropping sight when you first enter the stadium

I'm told the Camp Nou is much the same - steep terracing that looks down on a lowered pitch.

If digging down and adding to the tiers is an option, could raise gates to 60 / 65,000 then I'd opt for that everytime. The place could be fierce (again)

Anyone got Henry's number??? wink
