You said who wouldn't want it as if there'd be a mile long queue of billionaires waiting to pump money into a consortium for our new stadium.

A worker at Carillion, which was awarded the £75 million contract to upgrade the Main Stand and Anfield Road stand, says work is planned to end in September but even a November deadline would not affect the ground’s capacity when the club play a home fixture.

During an interview on popular website Reddit, a poster who is reportedly an employee at Carillion revealed the timeline for the redevelopment of the area, which will see the stadium’s capacity reach 59,000. The company says work on a proposed training hotel and retail units will begin in January 2016 once the stadium refurbishment is complete and depending on planning permissions.

A post on the question and answer session says: “Work should begin on the main stand in early July of 2015 and is expected to be completed mid September or November at the very latest of the same year. New developments around the Anfield stadium such as the hotel and shops should see work begin in January 2016.”

The stadium redevelopment proposals have been submitted to Liverpool City Council, where the application will be considered within the next 21 days, according to Carillion. They include a ‘future proof’ design that could see the capacity extended to 71,000 if the Centenary stand was to be redeveloped and corner sections were filled in with another 3,000 seats.

Work to demolish homes in the area is already underway at Anfield. The club is working with Liverpool Mutual Homes to regenerate residential and commercial properties in the area before the main body of work begins.

Read what I've said previously! I do want a new stadium ffs! I don't know why anyone bothers sometimes. Also as I said previously, I'm sure all of us would want a new stadium.

I am, however, happy that they're doing something. Yes it's not the ideal solution but it's something and will all help. I'm no FSG fanboy but can appreciate that they seem to be doing what they can.

I'm interested to know how much % Emirates airline payed for the emirates stadium which cost 450-500m depending on the sources you read. I would think no more yhan 100m just for naming rights. Could Liverpool do the same if they are to after Stanley Park?

I'm sure they could. Not sure how much they could attract as London will be seen as more attractive than Liverpool. But, if they could secure say £100m, it'd still leave a shortfall of £200m - £250m. Arsenal also borrowed to pay for their stadium but were raking in enough from match day revenue to pay it off. Maybe if we did that, they'd have to increase ticket prices which would go down well!!
