LIVERPOOL | New Anfield | 60,000+ | Approved - Page 30

Kobo · October 23rd, 2010, 01:23 PM

I really hope Liverpool do build a new stadium, and the ground designed for Stanley Park IMO is a really great looking stadium. They deserve a 60,000 - 72,000+ ground and I am sure they could fill it each week.

But it has been reported in the press that NESV might prefer to expand Anfield due to the costs of a new stadium. Its worth pointing out that the new owner John W Henry redeveloped the Boston Red Sox stadium Fenway park instead of moving them into a new ground. And when he owned the baseball team the Florida Marlins from 1999-2002 the stadium the Pro Player Stadium now called the Sun Life Stadium, John W Henry did not build them a new baseball specific stadium but allowed them to play in this American football stadium which converts into the baseball dimensions. So going from these 2 cases it seems Henry does not like to build new stadiums. He may see Liverpool's case differently, I guess we will have to see.

It would be interesting to hear what Liverpool supporters would want. A redeveloped Anfield, or a new stadium?

Going from an England 2018 bid perspective. I think it would be a real shame if Liverpool don't have a new stadium for this. It would add another huge stadium to our bid (assuming it is 72,000+) and it would allow a big stadium to be in another city besides London and Manchester.

There is a need for extra capacity, better and more media facilities and corporates.

Ideally Anfield can be expanded and we'll keep the tight dimensions, awkward corners and proper football ground feel. If we build I'm all for the plans for Stanley Park, but not for a tin shed or souless bowl.

No word from the club on this yet.

mrddavies · January 18th, 2012, 07:35 PM

So they opt for the boring lego stadium.

Shock!

You replace something iconic with something iconic.

The current Kop is decent enough, but the rest of the stands at Anfield are just average.

Wilderspool · January 18th, 2012, 09:52 PM

The deadline is Midnight on Thursday.

Kevin Williams was 15 when he died at Hillsborough. He has never had a proper inquiry. According to the official verdict everyone was dead by 3.15. Kevin died in a police woman's arms asking for his mum at 4.00. There were 43 ambulances less than 400 yards away and yet he received no medical assistance.

First AFL design to now include a Kop:

While Hicks and Gillett desired a world class shiny stadium, Fenway Sports Group is a bit more down to earth. FSG will be happy with any stadium which seats 60k or so, and the proper amount of vip boxes and seats, as long as the price is right. The only thing that matters to FSG is increasing revenues.

So a simple bowl is back on the burner. Forget your ego about architectural beauty or building a world class stadium.

There's a very interesting thread on RAWK detailing why the H&G stadium was not world class by any means. It might have been an architectural statement of the club's stature writ-large, but I think Liverpool fans are coming round to the view that that stadium was flawed in many ways. If anyone has the link to that thread it's be good to post it here.

Yep, its an NFL stadium, and has rather restricted views!

What's the maximum capacity they could achieve by redeveloping Anfield?

Paul D · June 1st, 2012, 11:15 AM

They're thinking of adding another tier to the Main Stand and Anfield Road End I think, this will take the capacity up to 60,000.

Toadboy · June 1st, 2012, 12:39 PM

63,000 according to Ronnie Rumour.

I think it's just the latest delaying tactic myself. Being cynical, I think the club will be sold on again before anything happens.

Anyone got any renders of Anfield with a new Main Stand & Anfield Road end?
