Our biggest downfall which we are going to feel for generations is letting sentiment rule our heads. Whilst Big clubs realize potential in moving to bigger new surroundings, easier to navigate for the fans, we decide to put an extension on our old house.
We should have moved at the 1st opportunity to the docks where renovation of the old buildings and historic docklands has been ongoing for decades. It has attracted tourists on a large scale since it first started and will continue to do so, whilst we are stuck in a rundown area in Anfield, that has had money thrown at it previously for it to be wasted because of the inhabitants of the area.
We should have gone where the money is and will continue to be.
Gate revenue is not the fastest growing if at all, in any case, we could go to 60k seats right now if the demand was there and at a very competitive price. I heard the Spurs stadium will cost them 600m
There was a report a few weeks ago that FSG were still looking at improving the Anfield Road stand, which would give us 60,000 seater, if its cost effective, FSG will do that, and it means we do not end up with a £500+ million debt.
You have to remember that commercially the likes of Arsenal & Tottenham can do allot of corporate events midweek in London which aren't football related, Liverpool just don't have that same level of business opportunity.
