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.


How could they increase anfield beyond 58k the only option I can see is to knock down a stand and build back just 10 years after constructing it that would be insane the more this debate goes on the clearer it is FSG are making the greatest mistake in Liverpool's history

They could fill the corners in, but they could also reroute roads in 10 years. Adding tiers? There's always a way, it will just cost a lot. With the new hotel and the houses that have been cleared there is no longer a right to light issue is there?

I’m not Stanley, that’s for sure! I want it done now and we’ve had to wait too long as it is imo.
Being a flexible soul, I would accept 60,000 now as a down payment, as it were, with a clear programme of expansion, costed and timetabled to keep us abreast of the competition. However that’s not possible at Anfield, therefore I’m totally opposed to this lean-to contraption, or refurbishment or whatever they call it.

Looking briefy at the plans the redevelop looks to be one huge main stand with the rest of the ground (including the kop) being dwarfed

Either of us could be right or wrong the truth us we can't foresee the future but under this scheme there is no scope for change unlike all our rivals. That's the point mr donut

Stan I never said they would knock down a stand they have just rebuilt! I said they could fill the corners in or add a tier. You do love to twist what people say.
