same capacity but far greater revenue per seat.

Will the redevelopment of the whole Anfield area result in Anfield having a scrap value in the future, similar but obviously not on a par with Highbury?

No one is suggesting we expand Anfield to 90k right now Marko but we need the option to do so as all our rivals City, Utd and Aresenal will do because of the scope they have. Even after the nearby houses are knocked down Anfield is landlocked and I cannot see how they can expand beyond 60k. We are forever limited thanks to lack of ambition by FSG.

You have some wild obsession with going bigger & bigger & bigger. 60k is a fantastic sized stadium and always will be.
I don't mean this to come across as insulting, but you come across as a very spoiled little brat Stan - nothing is ever good enough. It's not very endearing.

Wanting the best for our club should be what we all want.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Yeah staying at Anfield has it’s charms donno, but at what cost if we cannot ever go beyond a 58,000 seater stadium. All the other great clubs of Europe have, or will soon have left us well behind. Building a fine and iconic new stadium in Stanley park was always the better option, and close enough to our original site, and before anyone jumps in with: what about the traffic congestion? I say: nip over to Dublin on All Ireland Final Day (next Septenber) when over 80,000 pour in to Dublin and the Croke Park Stadium in the city center location, and then talk to me about the problem of traffic congestion.

Thank you for your kind commenrs Mr Donut. I dont know how you know 60k always will be adequate for all time but it must be nice to have such vast knowledge.

Come on Stan, a ground increase to 60k is nothing to be sniffed at, that's quite a high attendance. Realistically speaking, and without putting the club into a financial mess, 60k would be great for the club.

Take away the sugar daddies from football and that would look a lot better. We don't have owners that treat the team like a play thing, very few clubs do. We all want a 200,000 seater stadium where tickets cost a fiver and we have 30 world class players on our books, but that's just not reality - nor is it the norm.

Stanley, how do you know 60k wont be enough in the future? Did you read the post about the expansion of OT? It says it is highly unlikely to ever happen due to the rail system in close proximity.
