Thanjk you.

I didn't realise it had been decided to name it "New Anfield", yet that's what the BBC site has called it......or have I been asleep for a few months/years and missed something???
Because a larger stadium would have cost almost double the amount
When the initial costings were done the 61,000 (which is the actual capacity of the new stadium) seater stadium was costed at £80 million, a 70,000 plus seater stadium was costed at £120 million
The huge gulf in the costs is because the council insisted that any larger stadium must have direct transport links which of course would have increased the costings
By the way I know your post was being ironic
Bob Paisley - "This club has been my life. I'd go out and sweep the street and be proud to do it for Liverpool if they asked me to."
Oh and apparently Merseytravel are waiting on the ground to get started and the regeneration to kick-start and they are going back in for the Trams again.
Off topic:
Hope this is true Ronan. It was a drisgrace it wasn't granted in the first place.
to my mind it doesnt get any better than this.....
Its a kip

Is it me or do both ends look the same size? Isn't the 'new kop' supposed to be bigger than the opposite end?
No, both ends are the same size as far as i can remember.

why isnt it expandable? thats just plain ****ing stupid, its why we are moving now, are we just gonna keep building new stadiums everytime we need a bigger capacity?
I’m more worried about distance from the pitch and the slope angle of the stands!
thats what i'm dissapointed at, i wanted the new owners to perhaps change the plans to make it more like anfiled with 4 main stands packed in along the touchlines. this is what makes it a more intimidating atmosphere and gets the 12th man right on top of the opposition

I dont understand it myself either.
But It may have been a condition of planning, that its not to be extended in the future? Im not sure.

correct, which is why such a clause could be put in place.
It's still a strange one though.
