When I go to anfield on the train I quite often see people who have come on the anfield experience for some reason the operators put them up in manchester and I am on that train. They look Chinese, Korean or Japanese in appearance and they are always festooned with memorabilia from anfield it's the package that attracts people the crowd the impressive stadium the atmosphere the team and match result on the day is almost a side show. I feel this way too and I felt the same when I went to anfield in the early 1970's even today I don't just go for the result alone even after watching liverpool for 50 years. I find it incomprehensible that anyone would think the stadium is irrelevant. FSG model seems to be to refurbish one stand at the cheapest cost and cram as many into the ground as possible and flog it at the highest price marketing on something that happended fifty years ago. There is only so long people will be taken in by that. Also when I am at anfield my guess from hearing people speak is maybe sixty per cent are from the merseyside area these people are being progressively priced out so what the future is for Liverpool FC I am really not sure. Not everybody is the same but personally, I would pay to go to only LFC games. I've been to London a number of times and not once I was bothered to go to a game there, however, I took the train to go to Liverpool and do the Anfield tour. That's only because I am a fan of LFC which is a result of what we were winning and the history. Yes, it would be great to have both, ie new stadium and investment in players, but if resources are limited and a choice is needed, then I will go with the one stand + possibility to invest in the team anytime.

If we are as you say being prepared and groomed for a sale then that is very good news imo. This paint job is a waste of money long term so we have to take it on the chin and write it off as a summer transfer window gone wrong. I really do hope fsg are on that path, that they intend to sell to someone in the near future, someone who has the financial ability to build us that stadium that this great club deserves. I don't think they will sell. A new stand is not going to fetch them a premium higher than what they will spend in development of the stand. If there are no buyers now, why would there be buyers at a higher and probably inflated price?

But the problem is they’re not investing in the team i.e. the first eleven. They’re spending a fortune on overpriced ‘potential’s’ many of which are unplayable and and therefore useless as a resource, except at possibly some far date in the future. If they were investing in proven top quality for the first eleven including for backup I would have some empathy with your viewpoint but they aren’t unfortunately.

is this the club that keeps producing these films faz ? Is this a marketing campaign to justify the future price hike all around the stadium ?
