Liverpool submit new stadium plan

Liverpool's stadium plans are set to become a reality
Liverpool have submitted plans for their new stadium at Stanley Park to the city council and hope to begin work by the end of the year.

The proposal sets out a timetable for construction of the arena, which could cost £280m and has a 60,000 capacity.

A planning application is scheduled for 25 July and the stadium has potential for expansion to accommodate 80,000 fans, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Liverpool hope to receive permission by October and start work before 2008.

New Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks said recently: "The design is now final. It's spectacular and I can't wait for everybody to see it.

"I think our fans will love it. It's very creative architecture, very contemporary but also unique to Liverpool.

"It is all centred around the Kop - it will be the symphony stage that plays to the symphony hall."

rose tinted glasses?

As I approach my 50th year, in the relatively comfortable life style that I now have, I cannot help but look back at my old neighbourhood of Anfield and wonder where it all went wrong.

I grew up off Priory Road in a typical 'poor but honest' neighbourhood that included Joe Fagan and his family as near neighbours. Could you imagine Benitez leaving his £5 million mansion and living by the ground? Similar large families abounded in the neighbourhood and I am proud to say that the finest and most decent people I have ever met were those people - indeed, a large number of us are still good friends even now. We did not need Friends Reunited, we had phones!

Within a ren minute walk there were Stanley, Newsham, Walton Hall, Breckside and Clubmoor parks.

Every possible sport was available and even the city's first sports centre, the Vernon Sangster, was built there.

Great pubs were all around the area, good schools too - thank you All Saints and Cardinal Godfrey - and a sense of community really did exist thanks to things like the annual Anfield festival and the Anfield Citizen newspaper.

Well, last week I read of a Yosemite Sam impersonator shooting around Manningham Road, a petrol bomb attack on flats in Walton Breck Road and a stabbing in Stonehill Sreett after a car chase.

My job involves me working in the area sometimes and the number of boarded up pubs and shops breaks my heart.

Could LFC's ground move save the area? I hope so, because even as an Evertonian I have to agree that some things are more important than football.

I am obviously not from the area, but it would be great if the sense of community, judging by what has been written here, could be restored.
I am sure the new owners would like the community around the area to be as good as possible too, not just for the people of the area, but for the good of the club.
The new rail system, if it goes ahead, could also help the community, and not just on match days.

THe days of community living are dead.
Those 'honest but poor' people the author of the previous post talks about have been replaced by dishonest and jealous people who have little or no regard for anything or anyone other than themselves.

All ruined by advertising, mass consumerism and television.
Now all that is left is envy.

Agreed unfortunately.
My childhood was fairly poor, but my parents and sibings had a great sense of togetherness and we had a ****ing great upbringing, hard at times but always fair and 99% of the time fun. I dont know exactly why but society is **** in general these days and its a great shame and it pisses me off in equal measures. I wish it could go back to the days where we had to struggle for things we wanted but appreciated it more and where people watched out for each other a bit more.
If new anfield can generate a more family orientated feel around Liverpool then I will be prouder than ever to be a red.

I disagree.

Every year, we close our road off to traffic and have a street party.

Most people can't be bothered with 'community'. If you try, its surprising how well it can work.

Ok, they are linked. The demise of the local came second.
