Anfield/New Anfield

[Nic83]

Acquiring New Finances Is Every Liverpudlians Dream.

Or is it?

The quicker we recieve our new investment = the quicker a move to New Anfield is in the offing??

I'm going to throw the cat amongst the pigeons and say that i don't want to move. "A new era" i hear them say."It will be good for Liverpool". I don't think so. IMO, we are getting back to the old fortress Anfield. From the passion of the Kop to the smallest but highly intimidating "This is Anfield" sign.

There is a regrown air of confidence about the boys when they step out onto the Anfield turf. An air that will take at least 2 years to form at a new ground. The comfort will not just arrive straight away. It will have a strangeness like that of an away ground. Even the fans will take time to settle.

The biggest miss of all though, will no doubt be the Kop. The Liverpool vs Olympiakos game. The Kop practically sucked the ball towards the Olympiakos goal in that second half and allowed the boys to perform their magic.

I don't know what the story is, as regards planining permission to just renevate the existing Anfield but i'd be even far happier to stay here with the 45,000 capacity than to move...

Man utd, and now arsenal make a million quid more in gate receipts than us every home game. The brute economics of this situation demand the move. Unfortunately we aren't able to extend anfield, all sorts of ideas have been mooted including turning the pitch sideways. We can't extend, we have to move. Either that, or prepare yourself for years of dwindling power.

Hmm, hadn't thought that unless the new grounds called anfield, we'll loose our famous sign. This is The Addidas Arena, doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Yeah, my post is mainly about the football and atmospheric side of it etc. It's true that if we can't renevate, we will have to move to compete financially.

There's no way the club would be going through the hassle (and embarrassment it's created) of moving stadium, unless it was deemed essential.

Atmosphere can be "designed-in" through clever architecture and a knowledge of acoustic engineering. which is precisely what I told one of the project planners when I met him

Try telling Arsenal that

And as I understand it is happening.

We simply have to move to compete financially. We are already way behind the commercial off-field marketing machine that is Man U and Arsenal. We simply have to make this move. The atmosphere died the day all-seating came in anyway (so i'm told). You use Olympiakos as an example, but on the whole the atmosphere on a non-european/big club game is pretty poor anyway.

Which is a good example of a stadium where the acoustics weren't considered in the design. Proves my point.

[Morph]

Yes they were, that was what they were banging on about when they built the emirates, that the design would keep the noise in, when in fact it's a pile of ****.

People are always apprehensive about major changes and rightly so. I don't really want us to move either, but we need to really, don't we?

According to a gooner friend of mine, the Acoustics were definitely considered in the design of the Emirates. For example, there appears to be a big gap between the top of stands and the roof (Stade de France style), but this is actually glazed to keep the sound in.

I think in this particular case, they didn't consider that gooners don't know how to make an atmosphere in the first place. Don't forget, Highbury was like a library most of the time.

Has there been any timescale put forward for when the work is actually going to start now that the finaces are "sorted"

The finances aren't 'sorted' though!

That's because it's cockernees.
