Why demolishing those again? We are not going to rebuild the same stand. Other houses could be demolished to redevelop other stands. What's impossible there?

If they build new houses in the next few years they are not going to evict the residents and knock them down in a few years are they ? Do you understand what a local authority core strategy is ? If not google it and you will understand why you can't chop and change at will developments in the uk are planning led. It's the law I don't understand planning law in Mauritius but I do here in the uk .

Again stan tell me how having hundreds of empty seats at the etihad every week is providing a product people want to see?

So I can assume you have seen the the plan whereby the council are going to build new houses around Anfield in the next few years or it's your speculation?

Well Mr.Stanley Park, perhaps you would like to explain more about this core strategy you speak of. For example, could you tell us how it concentrates on the development of the city for the period of the next 15 years, after which it is revised, and it is perfectly plausible it could allow for further demolition work around Anfield.

Perhaps instead you could explain how this core strategy is focused on not only designating residential and business areas, but also on economic development of this city and how turning down the redevelopment of the rest of the areas around Anfield would be contrary to the strategy itself.

Perhaps you would like to explain instead how you have no idea about the rules and regulations of urban development and are making sh1t up as you go along. New houses can be built and demolished within weeks if need be and if it so suits the city. The ordinary people do not get asked, they get ordered. Basically the project just gets priority status either at local or national level and then those living in the houses have no choice in the matter.

One thing though Marko, I don't think it's that simple to kick people out of their houses in UK, it took LFC I don't know how many years to get to the current redevelopment. However, it would be interesting to know if new houses are to be built next to the other stands which is pure SP speculation IMO unless he has valid info on it.

Another question for Stan and I hope the thread stays respectful by all involved- Waiting lists.

Stan, how can we be in such a mess with the fan base as you have referenced continually throughout all of your 1000 odd topics on our pending demise when even in our darkest hour of the last 24 years or so our waiting list for season tickets tops 20,000?

I would imagine it is even greater now? That doesn't appear to be a club in trouble although it is pis* poor it's not be capitalised on that I will grant you.

The seats are sold they are corporate aeats and the occupants dont turn up and are in the bar in the stadium but the seats are sold.

For those who dont know and I would not blame overseas people for not knowing a core stategy is a leggally binding plan all local authorities must submit to central government once every 15 years. It covers the authorities intentions for housing and commercial devewlopment. The area for Anfield will be in the current plan and given the extent of the development will be significant. The plan will include housing in the Anfield area its that detailed so dont assume Liverpool can do as they like in future. The plan might include lattitude to expand Anfield it might not I dont know I did try to find it but I will spend all afternoon looking for it I have better things to do. But these people who assume Liverpool FC can go around evicting residents and pulling things down because they want to need to think again. The other thing I would say is Anfield on its current footprint is severly constrained into terms of space around the ground that will always be so. Stanley Park would give more space than Anfield much more but still less than the set up at city and united
