Ledelsen på Anfield hevder at de har forsynt Objective 1 med bevis for at de kan skaffe til veie pengene som kreves for å bygge ny stadion. Nå venter de spent på utfallet av dagens møte.

Liverpool FC sier i dag at de har bevist at de har råd til å bygge ny stadion i Stanley Park overfor Objective 1-komiteen. Anfield-toppene håper nå at finansieringsplanen de har oversendt komiteen skal falle i god jord, men i de indre gemakker på Anfield venter man nå uansett spent på utfallet av dagens avgjørende møte der det blir bestemt om klubben får flere millioner pund i EU-midler til renoveringen av området rundt stadion.

Liverpool-ledelsen ønsker ikke å avsløre detaljene i finansieringsplanen som de har lagt frem som bevis overfor Objective 1, men det skinner igjennom at hele planen er basert på lånte midler. Det er med andre ord ikke snakk om noen ny investor ved denne korsvei.

Dette er for øvrig første gang at man fra Anfield bekrefter at man har lagt fram det man mener er bevis på at man kan betale for stadionanlegget.

Objective 1 Statement

The Objective One Project Selection Committee has agreed to award £9 million of ERDF funding towards a £24.6 million package of environmental improvements to Stanley Park, Anfield.

The award supports other partners’ investment intentions for the Anfield area – including Housing Market Renewal and a new stadium for Liverpool FC – and will help unlock substantial benefits in terms of physical and economic regeneration for north Liverpool.

The funding for the refurbishment of Stanley Park, The Gladstone Conservatory and public realm works is linked to Liverpool FC’s commitment to invest in a new stadium. Liverpool FC provided satisfactory evidence that the funding is available to it to build a new stadium and the award was made on that basis.

The project to refurbish Stanley Park, which includes a new lake, public art and the refurbishment of the historic Gladstone Conservatory, must be completed by December 2008.

“This is a major step forward for the people of Anfield,” said Councillor Flo Clucas, chair of the Objective One Project Selection Sub-Committee. “It will underpin substantial investment by other partners whose commitment will help transform the neighbourhood.

“Jobs, training opportunities and major physical regeneration will build a momentum that we expect to be sustained over time,” she said.

“This is another excellent example of how European Objective One funding can unlock significant investment from other partners to secure the long-term future of communities. In terms of the outputs we have been promised, this investment represents good value for money,” added Cllr Clucas.

This is NOT a grant to Liverpool FC to support the costs of its new stadium. The applicant for the funding is Liverpool City Council and the money is to be spent on Stanley Park, The Gladstone Conservatory and public realm works.

Other sources of funding for the refurbishment work at Stanley Park are Northwest Regional Development Agency (£8.9m), Liverpool FC (£5m) and Liverpool City Council (£1.7m).

Two things - Why do we have pay 5m towards the refurbishment of the park?

And second thing, why couldn't we secure any type of grant to help us actually build the stadium. All the grants and crap, are all for th surrounding area. Youd think the council would have wanted to help us in every way they could. Rather than wasting public money on stupid things, like giving everyone a green bin.

[BillobShaisley]

Did we just have to proove the 5mil or the 200+ to build the stadium?

[Pacman]

Did we just have to proove the 5mil or the 200+ to build the stadium?

I think we needed to prove we had funding in place to build the stadium not just the 5mil

[Maestro]

I think we needed to prove we had funding in place to build the stadium not just the 5mil

Aye.

It could have the swedish or danish one.
None of you lot would have seen the differnce ( nor would you care).

The point I was trying to make was that it wasn`t a KT thing, but I guess it was pretty obvious anyway.
