KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum What have FSG brought to the table ?

Stan why do you always take the chance to have a dig at oot's? Most people try to keep it civil on here but you always speak to people without a liverpool post code like absolute morons! You sound like a pig headed old man living in the 80's

Apologies not having a go at OTT I am one myself. I had, had four pints at the time. However Markos post was not exactly polite and vish always peppers his posts with helpful advice about me. That said that does not excuse me.

However the subject of Liverpool's stadium and the economic growth of Liverpool is important and I will put down what I know about the regeneration as I do consulting work in that area.

Vish and Markos assertion thst Liverpool and the region is not growing us totally wide of the mark they could not be more wrong.

Once I have had chance I will explain politely

Liverpool is a west coast port and the fortunes of the city have been aligned with the port. Due to the growth of the European union and the decline of British manufacturing goods were shipped to the east ports. This and the impact of containerisation meant the port declined after the war and Liverpool's fortunes with it.

In the 1980's Liverpool was a very poor city which culminated in the 1981 riots. The government stepped in and to an extent it alleviated the poverty in the city. We al;l know as Liverpool fans the opposition fans singing "you'll never get a job" and waving £20 notes that comes from that era and at the time Liverpool FC was at the peak of their powers on the field Liverpool the city was on its knees.

Then 10 years or so ago they decided to expand the panama canal.

This meant for the first time the huge ocean panamax boats could come from the far east from the west side of the UK a shorter journey. This opened up a massive opportunity for Liverpool and the Atlantic Gateway was born. The impact is to be so big it is said it will be as big as Canary Wharf in London and Liverpool / Manchester corridor will be second only to London in economic terms.

The project is these strands .

Developing Liverpool into a major deep water port, now complete

A cruise liner terminal to rival Southampton, now complete

A series of huge inland ports between Manchester and Liverpool around 75% complete I worked on one planning 3MG at Ditton.

Eventually Liverpool and Manchester will join and be one big huge conurbation.

A science facility developing the industries of the future and locating them in this region at Daresbury now complete and was visited by our prime minister who made a speech about the future of Britain.

For the future

A huge financial centre

Super fast broadband for the region to better anything in Asia.

It is the biggest project in the European Union.

In addition to all of the above is £2 billion of government funds are to flow into the Liverpool combined city region for local transport and roads including the Anfield area which again I am involved with consulting wise.

All of this means in 20 years a lot more people living in the north west of England with a lot more money.

Hence the need for a stadium befitting the future City.
