Not the right kind of stand for Anfield, IMO. If they do redevelop, I hope they keep it all straight lines and right angles. No soppy curves - whatever the current fixation with optimum pitch-to-seat distances might dictate.This image has been floating around for years, it shows the potential development of Anfield up to 50,000 or 55,000 seats.

But I'm entirely sceptical about this ever happening. Look at how many houses have to be destroyed! Moving to a new site makes so much more sense.
It is now cleared, this was to link the Anfield plaza to the new groundDoes anyone know what has happened behind the Anfield Rd end?
On Google maps there are buildings, but on Streetview these seem to have been cleared.
If Liverpool could rebuild this end, to say, 15,000, and also rebuild the Main stand to 20,000, they'd have a stadium getting on for 60,000.
Not as large as OT, but I think there comes a point with football grounds where you just start adding seats for their own sake - has anyone seen the view you get from the top of the North Stand at OT?
You could add a 3rd tier to the Centenary Stand, but would this be cost effective?
the kemlyn road was a **** up from the start,it held 6500 seats and the roof cost a fortune(from simon inglis football grounds of england and wales) think it cost more than the 10000 seater(plus terrace and boxes) original north stand at old trafford.Yes, remember how long it took to get the Centenary stand built. Weren't the renders first put out in about 78/79?
And it always has been totally inadequate, and the roof supports stop any filling in of the corners. More wasted space in a very restricted site.
If we want a proper stadium with all the facilities(underground parking, corporate space, enough room to expand) we need long term plan. A new stadium.
Well a solution to this would be to add another tier and cantilever the roof rather than using having the roof supports running up the sides then over the top of the stand. This would increase existing capacity and make it easier to fill the corners in.Yes, remember how long it took to get the Centenary stand built. Weren't the renders first put out in about 78/79?
