Final hurdles preventing the formal unveiling of plans - which would seek to expand Anfield to an estimated 55,000 capacity - could be removed in the next eight weeks
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ield-redevelopment-before-end-of-season.html#am sorry but the new stadium won't be holding only 55,000 at all. i have it on good authority (by someone who is working on the new drainage system!) that the new capacity will be about 58,551 (subject to fluctuation)
consisting of:
Kop - 12,409 (Unchanged)
Centenary 11,762 (Unchanged)
Main Stand - 20,480
Anfield Road - 13,900
where Main Stand will consist of
Paddock and existing Main Stand:
bottom tier - 8,200
middle tier - 3,100 (including executive boxes)
top tier -7,540
Paddock - 1,640
This was his reply:I was just wondering if you would be kind enough to answer a question I have about the church and its future in regards to the various developments planned for the area? What I'd like to ask is whether or not the church will be moved in the future to another location in order for the football club to expand the Kop stand? Any info would be great.
We have no plans to move Christ Church or the Vicarage next door to it in Hartnup St. As far as we are aware the club would extend side ways not across the road.
From what people who've seen the plans say, the current seated section of the Main Stand stays, with the old roof being removed. Two new tiers are added meaning the Main Stand becomes one huge three-tiered stand with a capacity over 20,000. The Anfield Road Stand sounds like it'll just be a bigger version of the current one. But you're right about the Kop, 'cause that's going to look tiny up against these new structures.I'm not sure how that stadium is gonna look to be honest. Will the main stand be at a shallower angle than it is now? People at the top will be pretty far away from the pitch and the kop will be the smallest stand in the ground.
I actually did a quick mock-up of that in the past.Based on those indicative drawings, it sounds a little like the stadium will end up being like St. James's Park (Sports Direct Arena? No, just, no), in Newcastle, where two of the stands are significantly larger, and more imposing than the other two - http://binged.it/1fEOiTu
I actually did a quick mock-up of that in the past.
If the club still owned the houses in Skerries Road, and that road was indeed in a similar state to how Lothair Road currently is, then I imagine the houses in Skerries Road would've also been demolished. Even if the club didn't opt to expand the Centenary Stand at this stage, it would've given them the easy option to do so in the future. Oh well.
