Mixed response from those miserable lads on RAOTL....

By the sounds of things, they just wanted a larger Anfield and wouldn't have been happy with any design.

The bloke who spat his dummy out because the Kop hasn't got chequered seats; you don't see it when the stadium is full you tool!

I like it. Fits everything I wanted:

1. Massive kop
2. Unique design
3. Acoustic build
4. Potential 75,000+ capacity

Obviously 'Applicant Name' is Liverpool football club & 'Ward' is Anfield

Or perhaps it shows that Parry is actually quite good at his job ie putting forward a proposal within the clubs budget and then it being amended when there is investment

That said, he is just a puppet.

The bloke who spat his dummy out because the Kop hasn't got chequered seats;

Jesus wept. It's a rough mock up so it may have ultimately, and it's really ****ing trivial.

Can you imagine the Yanks checking the forums. £300 million and some ****'s moaning about the colour of the seats!

Only kids would worry about chequered seats ffs. Some fans really are drongos

I am impressed and excited to the extent that this is a completely original and wholly distinctive design, certainly compared to the "identikit" model (to quote Maestro) we had before.

I think one of our main concerns always was that the stadium had to be distinctive to us, you had to be able to look at it and recognise it instinctively as Liverpool's stadium. I am satisfied that this design fulfils that criteria.

Certainly we could have done with seeing more pics, an aerial view etc, more views of what the stadium will look like from both the outside and in, or even one of those 360 degree virtual tours things they did with the previous design. I've no idea why they've only released 3 pics.

I don't want to turn this into another "sack Parry" scenario, but one observation I'd like to make is why Parry is now saying that we have an original, abstract design befitting the club which is a departure from the trend of the bowl-shaped stadium, when he presented us with a bowl shape design not so long ago, not only that but a stadium which had a limited capacity and no room for exapnsion, one that was revised down from the original cpacity 65,000? I don't knwo how well Parry does his job behind the scenes, but I have serious concerns about him simply from what he says.

Wasn't all that pre the Yanks getting involved?

EDIT: btw, the stadium looks awesome

The new stadium is orgasmic, futuristic and will leave every other stadium in the Prem miles behind.

I love the way its stands are still very close to the pitch the atmosphere will be unreal

Stunning, awesome and thank you very much whoever designed it

The proposed new Portsmouth ground is quite special aswell even if it does have a far reduced capacity to our proposal.
