Well donut man it helps to have a stadium Yes it helps but not when it costs too much. Even if we were to build a new stadium, we would not have gone beyond 60k, why is it so difficult to get it? Agree, we might not be able to further expand Anfield, but there was never a plan to go beyond 60k seats in the next decade. In 10 years time we can always build a new stadium if the demand is there. With our current financial situation we need to sort out the short term first, if we don't, there won't be any long term but in the lower divisions.

No one is disputing they have a bigger stadium at the moment, but you keep carrying on about how they will soon have 90k. They won't have 90lk soon, at least not as a certainty. Their limiting factors are temporary. Ok. SO are ours. We can fill the corners with stands.
I don’t think we can Ninja, I read something recently that says we can’t for some reason. I didn’t take much notice of it (should have now!!) at the time. Actually I think it was Henry that said 58,something thousand was the max that can be accommodated in Anfield. So this is it for all time, unless we scrap it in a couple of decades and move somewhere else, would be best if that were done now though.

Yeah I posted on another thread the details, 58K is the limit or was it 58.5k (cant really remember the exact) Edit: oh it's 58,800

We are already talking about knocking down the redeveloped anfield in the next 20 years or so does that not tell you this strategy might be flawed ? Are we saying 58k will be sufficient for the next 100 years ?

Yeah, now that you guys mention it I think I actually read that too. However, I cant remember what the reasoning was as to why we cant fill the corners.

I did read something (but bit hazy) they could not fill in the corners because of the lie of the land at the spot anfield is built on

However, I cant remember what the reasoning was as to why we cant fill the corners. • Can the stadium corners be used to increase seating capacity? The corners could not be used to significantly increase the stadium capacity as the structural supports to the individual stand roofs are in the corners and would therefore obscure the views of any new corner seats behind. This is in keeping with the Club's objective to maintain Anfield as a four stand football ground. • Is it possible to add tiers to existing stands to increase capacity? The proposals add tiers to two of the four existing stands. The principle for adding tiers above/behind existing stands is well established, with the second tier of the Centenary Stand being added in such a way in the 1990s. • Are there any future proposals for extending the Kop or the other stands? No proposals to extend the other stands have been developed at this time. It would not be possible to add further tiers to the Main Stand and Anfield Road Stand over and above what is proposed.

58k is the current limit due to the high cost of restructuring parts of the ground. But in 10-15 years when we are looking for a bigger stadium it will still be more cost effective to increase anfield than build a 70k stadium.
I believe FSG will sell up when the ground is complete and there's no reason why the next owner won't be willing to spend another £100m+ to increase the ground.
