The Stadium was meant to be serviced by the Tram project that made some people a lot of money. It would have been like Milan. A real shame that greedy people abuse their positions.
The current plan is to reopen the old train station during match days, and improve the links (ie buses) from the city centre.
There was also talk about the East Lancs, but I never knew how that would work. Tram project is long gone shame as its going from strength to Strength in manchester, Can't see them opening a station for 20 days a year

Tram project is long gone shame as its going from strength to Strength in manchester, Can't see them opening a station for 20 days a year It would service Everton and the current route already goes through the station, so it wouldn't cost so much to reopen. I think the biggest hurdle would be frequency of the trains. In theory they could have an express service and a carpark outside the city. Then people could also use the service during the week and avoid the city centre parking costs

Tram project is long gone shame as its going from strength to Strength in manchester, Can't see them opening a station for 20 days a year its not on any line either stanley only the old goods line, Kirkdale s the nearest station and that's miles away, the problem we face now is although we will never catch United, by the time all this red tape with residents e.t.c finishes it could take 5 more years, that will push Chelsea and City out of reach with there head start on us, Spurs should be in there new home by the seven sisters somewhere within 3 years and that's before we get a spade in the ground, we could be looking at playing our first game in a tarted up old Anfield in 7 years which will put us too far behind to catch up...

see how it works thumbs up JJ. simple really I would be more in favour of a 3 strikes type ruling, you get warnings when you overstep the mark, when you are two strikes and risking a ban you will tone it down because you will be on a probation for a month where u have to be careful what you say, after the month has expired you get your warning rescinded, if its open everyone can see how careful they have to be. The only problem would be for someone like me being on 2 strikes, people seeing it and then delibrately trying to provoke me so I get banned. I suppose every idea has good and bad points I suppose... True but I find it strange how you got yourself onto the subject of getting to 2 strikes so quickly. Perhaps if everyone was better behaved it would not be needed in the first place. Must admit for deliberate misuse of boards, ruining of threads and general daily baiting of others I prefer the kangaroo court of a team of Moderators to ban that person once and second offence ban the ip.

 My bad, I thought the line was just bypassing the station and could easily rejoin the northern line. In any case, the line could easily put on links from the city. The docks used for parking and then you could either get the bus or train. A likely benefit of reopening of the Canada Dock Branch line would be the access that it would provide to the proposed Liverpool FC Stanley Park Stadium. Expansion of this stadium proposal above the 60,000 limit recommended by the planners is likely to involve the opening of a station to handle the large crowds generated. Liverpool F.C. are interested in an eventual stadium capacity of 73,000. In July 2007 it was suggested that Liverpool FC could partially fund the reopening of this line to provide a direct rail link to their proposed new stadium. If trains capable of use beyond the electrified network are selected as replacements, "then the case for bringing the Canada Dock Branch into passenger service operation will be examined". There are suggestions to introduce passenger services on this line in the Local Transport Plan for Merseyside. The route to Liverpool Docks will be electrified according to the Department for Transport's Rail electrification document of July 2009. The Canada Dock Branch Line is the only line into the docks. The electrification of this line changes matters and would reduce commissioning costs for passenger use.

We used to have a meter under our name if we had warnings against us but nobody else could see it. It reminded the user he was on x level of warnings.
The Mods had access to this info and were requested not to pass this info on. If they did by pm or otherwise they were warned and the mod status taken away from them.

There,s a lot going on in Liverpool rail wise and a new transport authority being set up on the hub of the electrification of the Liverpool manchester line. I am sure anfield is part of this planning but of course we don't know where Everton will end up

The Stadium is no nearer to being started than under Hicks and Gillette, I drive past it every day and believe me there is no spade in the ground, can I say that or am I baiting What you're saying, is you need to see progress physically with the stadium. But you are disregarding all the work that has to do be done behind the scenes before any of that is possible. As a student architect, I know that big projects take a lot of time to get off the ground. Most of the time this takes a couple of years, especially the case with historic building that are already existing. Given that the club have already said that announcements are going to be made once the buildings have been purchased, bemoaning the fact you haven't seen a building come down seems a little ridiculous. the next thing is FSG building the team up, how is this when we are getting shut of higher earners with experience and bringing in substandard players on alot less how can these cost cutting measures bridge the gap between ourselves and the top four, can I say that or am I baiting Firstly, how are all the players sub-standard? I know it is a matter of opinion, but one of the players we've signed just won player of the year for the North-East. The other from the UK is a leader and proven winner, and 3 years younger than the guy he has come into replace. Then you're judging the players from abroad, that I am sure 99% of people on here haven't seen play for a full season, before they've had time to settle or even played a single competitive match for the club. On previous record, we also signed Coutinho and Sturridge, who both played for top clubs before us, and have proven astute buys. It is not about being positive, but randomly criticising players who haven';t even played a game for a club seems a little OTT. the next thing is the top four, all our top four rivals have more money and power, play champions league every season and can attract the top players not to mention give them top wages, we can't Pretty sure the club can, or else Skrtel, Agger, Suarez and Gerrard wouldn't have signed new deals. The point, was to rid the club of experienced players who were no longer offering the quality we intended to pay for. Why should the club pay Downing £70k a week when his contribution to our seasons has barely been worth £7k? Why should Reina pick up more than any keeper in the Premier League when his performances have been matched by keepers on a fifth of that? It is not like we are recklessly just selling players. We are just selling those that either don't fit with the current style of play, or do, and have not performed well enough. and every season away from the top four is a season harder to get near, this for me is the future unless we get owners willing to match the top four pound for pound, can I say that or am I being too negative or baiting. Just my thoughts... You at least have not gone down your customary route of saying it is impossible. But in all honesty, look at what our main competition for 4th spot has done this window. Spurs have been looking to sell good young players like Caulker to fund moves. They are also potentially losing the guy that dictated all of their good moves last season. They have signed a striker, but have been looking to move on all their other ones. Arsenal have signed 1 young kid, and are loaning and selling some of their squad players. As yet, they haven't spent money. We have. We have, albeit arguably, improved players like for like, or at least the potential to have. Aspas is an improvement on not having another striker. Alberto is an improvement on an under-performing and at times reckless Shelvey. It is fine to say points, but where is the justification. If you know that our new signings are not very good then let us know why you think that, don't just state it. Fair play JJ. What i would like to hear from Mick is.. What is they way forward other than new Arab billionaire owners ?

@ StanPark re: Stadium
Look at the financials of it.
A new stadium would be the best option only if money was no issue.
FSG stated that the target figure of 60k could be achieved at half the cost if we redeveloped rather than started new.
From a financial point, the best option is the redevelopment. To argue this is insane. Not only that but Anfield is our home, the heritage and history is unique, to throw it away is a horrible idea.
I was against the redevelopment, but now I support it especially if the wider area is redeveloped as it is a cesspit. It is a rough area but its the wrong location very poor trnsport link I don't get this anfield home business few supporters who attend anfield live in anfield and most are from outside Liverpool and many outside the uk. Given the way football is going it makes sense to build a stadium with quality transport links and that is not or never will be anfield as an area. Once again a club with no ambition and stuck in the past I agree stan, I believe a new stadium would be far the better option. Arsenal, nobody wanted a move from highbury but look at how better off they are now. It would be gutting to leave anfield because of the history but that doesnt matter in the eyes of FSG. The only reason they want to stay is because it costs them less. West ham moving to the olyimpic arena, that is going to boost them so much. We could build a stadium with a standard 70,000 seats. Would we fill it ? damn right we would. It would be a more attractive venue for other events. Anfield would be so hard to say goodbye to but thinking with my head and not my heart, a new stadium woud be better.
