KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum anfield gets official council green light

I don't remember us being allowed to vote on it ? I am a season ticket holder I must have missed that ballot.

Maybe when Salmond is through deciding and fukking up Scotland, he could come and run a referendum for a new ground or to stay?

maybe you should actually talk to people, it might help, staying at anfield it what the vast majority wanted, its great that we are staying

i wanted us to go and move into stanley park and build a 60,000 stadium with the option of going to 75,000

i would have been happy with this iption if we had room to expand some time soon in the future

Great news! Staying at Anfield was my preferred option as well
If it looks anything like the drawings happy days
53,000 isnt enough though but thats phase 1, need 60k at least

By the way, the argueing that certain people do on here, not naming any names ,is starting to get really boring

Don't worry, I don't feel mocked at all. For somebody so passionate about a new stadium, I thought he believed in his own project/vision, but by saying that he wouldn't invest if he had the money, says it all. He still belives in father christmas and waiting for the latter to build a new stadium which makes no economic sense.

Funny how it makes no economic sense for Liverpool to build a new stadium but it does for Everton who are in an almost entirely the same situation with a stadium the other side of Stanley park. Everton have far less money than Liverpool also so it must be a more difficult decision. So why are they not regenerating goodison ? Might it for for all the reasons I have argued ? Space flexibility to expand concourse ? Everton are of course a long way away from this but I have no doubt whatsoever that's what they will do eventually. Leaving Liverpool FC the poor relation even in their own city. And I do talk to people thank you very much and most Liverpool fans I have talked to not just now but over the past 20 years all agree we need a stadium giving us the means to compete or to fair be fair I have heard people mention ground share also. And vish your recent assertion that I would not invest my own money in a football club so have no right to an opinion is about as childish as it gets. Looking at the new stadium in the article it looks bloody awful four stands thrown together in a small area. Look at the main stand it dominates the rest of the stands even the centenary. That's because the engineers are trying to cram as many people as possible in a tight footprint that was never designed for it.

For me its a revenue issue. I want us to rival utd of the revenue front. We are a huge global brand but need to make more of it. Massive stadium massive turnover massive income massive wages massive transfer fees massive players massive trophies massive happy days.
Simple really.

Announcing that Everton can build a new stadium on Walton park seems a bit strange to me,more so the timing of it.

Everton have no more money now than they did 12 months ago just before we had a chance to confirm building on Stanley park or not.
if Everton moved it would provide a bit more space for us to build a stadium on the whole site.
I don't know all the details and its very early to say the least regarding the planning stage etc but still sounds strange to me .

Bill kenwright has been looking for new owners for Everton for years. I agree the report looks a bit smoke and mirrors and I don't expect Everton to build a new ground any time soon. But it shows the clubs intention all it needs is Everton to find owners with the financial muscle and Liverpool FC are high and dry in their own city stuck with the limited hotch potch of anfield. Don't think it will never happen.
