I guess we could apply the same logic to transfer and player buys unless we are prepared to buy the players ourselves we have no right to critique any player aquisitions themselves.

I do pay to watch the club I sm going tomorrow against Sunderland paying £55 for the privilege that gives me the right to an opinion I reckon. If there are any fan protests against the carpet bagger Henry I assure you I will be joining in. I can guarantee that to you.

Liverpool FC is my team I have followed then since 1963 it breaks my heart to see them in this mess with no future no fan should be satisfied or accepting of that


My argument is why do you want others to do something you won't do yourself if you had the possibility.

Your analogy with transfers has no sense. When we say the transfers have been crap we all have our opinion on what could have been done if we has the money while you have said it yourself, if you were a billionaire, you would not have invested in football, but you still want somebody else to be stupid enough to throw their money away.


I am sorry thats a ridiclous logic


Of course as you are out ot argument. You just want somebody to thrown his money in a pit, maybe, just maybe somebody will be mad enough.

I gather by what I have read that much of the new space being created within the stand has been allocated for corporate. Whilst I understand that this increases profits I wonder how many more seats could have been provided if this had not been the case?


Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

if we want to compete with the big boys we need to have more corporate seats.
the thing that i would like to see is 50% of the additional seats go to pple waiting on the season ticket and not mot of it going to day trippers like my self

Here are some key questions answered and a few nice pics of the development.



That's old news and was to deflect critism from the very underwhelming scheme. Which since this was pubished seems to be downgraded further. I prefer to call it "the it's all we can afford scheme"

Well it won't be going above 56 k till they get a naming rights deal for the annie rd end and we don't qual for cl which they have said not so long ago ? So how do they now have funds for a 60 plus k stadia if needed and they can't finish what they told us would happen re the road end unless we qualify for cl seems to be all smoke and mirrors but some take it all as factual I will believe it when it's finished ie 59k expansion as Henry has promised ! So far it's seems some wriggling is happening re the road end expansion


In addition, the further expansion to the better side of 60k seats is not the same as the expansion most were talking about. It DOES limit expansion, in terms of number of seats, but more importantly it negates the possibility for a serious improvement in corporate infrastructure which is where some serious money comes from.

That's a very good point big red Kop and in the stadiums of the future I expect corporate to be significant amother factor against the cheap mish mash plans of FSG

I remember seeing something from John Henry that said it will NOT be possible to go further than the 58,400 redevelopment currently planned. So is Ayre talking through his hat here?
