No problem. I just nicked it off 'Sir Bob Paisley' on Koptalk...

Oh, and another thing...

...on the subject of not being bitter, this thread had 5 stars the other day (like all the best things... )

...now it's down to 4 stars with an average rating of 4.20 which must mean some ****ers have been voting it lower than a 4. As my "rumours", "gossip" or "nonsense" (as Lecter, 'the Man in the Know' put it) turned out to be true, how can anyone vote it as a 3 or less? ****ing hell, lads, what more do you want?!

(End of rant )

I just added one star into the rating but it didn't increase the tally

I think if we could get the 61,000 capacity with a chance of expanding it in the future it would be better than spending millions of quids on a 76,000 stadium without having the opportunity to make it bigger. Thanks for the info Rush & Trousers.

Just found this on bunker suites.


Rangers might build bunker suites
Under-stadium rooms command high premiums
Dallas Business Journal - January 26, 2007

The Texas Rangers might add five underground suites near home plate at Ameriquest Field.
The Texas Rangers are considering building five bunker suites that wrap behind home plate at Ameriquest Field. Also under consideration is the introduction of a new ultra-premium ticket package that would contain 16 field-level seats.

The Rangers hired marketing consultant PC Sports and sports architect HKS, the firm that helped design the Arlington ballpark, to study the issue and determine the investment and revenue return, said Rick McLaughlin, Rangers executive vice president of business operations. If they give the Rangers the thumbs-up, construction would span the next two off-seasons and be completed for the 2009 season.


Ameriquest Field opened in 1994 with one bunker suite to accommodate President George W. Bush, then the Rangers owner, and his family, according to team officials, and most people don't know it exists. It sits beneath the seating bowl and does not have views to the field.

"Bush built one largely because his father was president at the time, and he stumbled into a great deal," said Tom Hicks, who inherited the box after buying the team in 1998. "You go upstairs to your seats."

Twice the size
The new bunkers would be twice the size of the original 500-square-foot unit, McLaughlin said. They also would have windows, HKS said. Hicks' hidden box, between home plate and the first-base dugout, contains a restroom and a small refrigerator.

The downside to building event-level suites behind home plate is that they eliminate prime space for several rows of club seats in the ballpark's "sweet spot" for television cameras and "create separation between the field and the seating bowl," said Bruce Miller, an HOK principal.

On the plus side, event-level suites can be big moneymakers for teams and are the most expensive piece of real estate in NBA arenas where corporate clients can whisk their guests to private hideaways tucked under the seating bowl for halftime hospitality.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban owns two of the five bunkers at American Airlines Center in Dallas, which cost $560,000 this season and carry annual 3% escalator clauses, said Brad Mayne, president and CEO of the arena's operating company. "They're becoming more commonplace," he said.

The Ameriquest Field retrofit most likely would cost several million dollars and would involve removing chunks of seats and digging a hole to build the bunkers, new club seats and lounge space.

"It depends on the original construction of space -- if it's found space or if it's structured already," Miller said.

Building more suites in Dallas-Fort Worth would further solidify the region's ranking as the top market for suite inventory in the country. It is No. 1 by a wide margin, said Bill Dorsey, executive director for the Association of Luxury Suite Directors.

I saw many pictures of the new Dallas Cowboys stadium and it looks grand. If they can do something similar to the new Anfield we will be laughing at the Mancs, gooners and chavs.
