KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum work starts in anfield

Gate receipts will be peanuts compared to tv and sponsorship deals anyway. So who cares about the size of stadium. The only way we make loads more money from the stadium is if they increase the ticket prices.

If FSG are all we have got then yes I would prefer to expand Anfield to a poxy 58k than do nothing.

But I dont have to be happy about it do I ?

Still no word on our future options I guess no one knows or cares.

Fine you obviously dont share my ambition for the club.

Claptrap

Why do you think they sponsor ? The spectacle and the stadoum is a major part of that as is the crowd.

Standard Chartered are not paying X amount of money to advertise to 40 odd thousand people Stan. It is the tv audience that they are after

no you don't have to be happy about it but you are become irrational in your arguments about FSG.

Our future options presumably involve building a new stadium. Perhaps in 25 years, building techniques will be far advanced to where they are now and building a 75,000 seater stadium with scope to expand won't be as prohibitively expensive

Its both actually and is the crowd not part of the spectacle the TV fans want and watch ?

it is both but the 40,000 would be a small percentage of the target audience which would mean that the tv audience is more important to them.

I have no major interest in what the crowd do if I'm watching any sport on tv. Its nice to hear it in full flow but overall is pretty irrelevant to my experience

You talk some [oops]! They sponsor because of global viewing figures for that team, not because a team has a huge stadium with hotels and resturants out side. Liberpool are one of the most viewed teams in world football.

We need a bigger stadium so the t.v audience has a better visual(?) experience???
I have no idea what you were trying to get across there, but if that was it..

Like it or not tho Stan, t.v money is at the very least equal to, if not dwarfs ticket revenue these days - especially Champions league money. This looks to be the trend from here on out, gate receipts are a nice little bonus.

Then maybe they should concentrate on shipping out some of the older season ticket holders who sit with their bums on hands - get some of the youth in who will sing until the final whistle

You know, what's best for the club n' all..
