KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Anfield expansion starts on Monday

It was last thursday, 3 days ago for crying out loud...how far could the plans be downgraded in 3 days time? I mean the article was published on the site 3 days ago...Perhaps it was published before to, but I didn't see it. Perhaps you are right, I dunno...

There is the link...It was from this month, so within the last week.

The website article might be new but the story is months old. And if the aim is to expand beyond 60k why not build a purpose built ground with options to do that long term it will probably be cheaper. All the talk of putting anfield to 80k is complete nonsense without build a ridiculous contraption and knocking newly built houses down I also don't think the city planning would allow it unless you are talking 50 years time. This is just an FSG smoescreen to deflect from the disappointing plans. You if course agree with everything FSG do by default

The story of a new stadium is 20 years old yet you mention it every day. Why not build a new purpose built ground now? Because it makes no financial sense and saying it "probably would be cheaper" is not a good enough reason to go ahead. "Probably" doesn't cut it.

You of course disagree with everything FSG does by default.

I do because they are destroying the clubs future and present judging by the dross I witnessed at anfield today. There is an area of land behind the main stand now level maybe 100 yards back. The main stand once rebuilt will dwarf the rest of anfield making the stadium looks ridiculous I suppose over time they could build the ground at the same level by my calculations with inflation you could be looking at a billion which is not going to happen so the club are locked into this situation permenantly

Yaaaawn....Oh sorry, you were saying something?

Yes yes, good thing we don't work by your calculations.

we will have the 3rd biggest stadium.

as soon as they finish this i want to see them get straight to expanding other stands.

if we are not willing to spend the big bucks like chelsea/city then we have to do what utd are doing and bring a lot of revenue in, adding another 14k is good for now but wont be enough by the time its finished.

the eithad will of expanded to 60k by then, spurs close to a new stadium

Yes who in their right mind would want to have their name associated with LFC at the moment - and actually pay for it?
