Stadium canned?

[BFG]

No, we all knew they were looking for funding, but to just announce.....

"oh sorry Reds fans, that stadium we promised you...no no not the first one, the last one...well we've decided that it doesn't represent value to the club, we want it, but not at that price, we'll look into another option, a cheaper one, hey we're already looking into the possibilities of a 'Giant' Marquee, yes that's right, a big tent, but a Red one, with the club crest on, the cost would be affordable, so that's all that really matters eh"..

If it's true and they announce that the stadium is off, it will be so very very embarrassing....for us.

Is it just a coincidence that the Bitters have done similar..? If this is true and we follow suit then a dirty plan could be afoot me thinks.

A giant marquee sounds ****ing ace. We could just have a policy of bring your own deckchairs and get settled where you can. Noone could say we didn't have a unique stadium then.

brilliant idea but would you pay £40 a ticket for the privilege ?

Don't be, if it's true then it only hastens the demise of G&H, as their business plan hinged on the new stadium. So if the rumour is true, then they go and someone else (DIC?) come in and a new stadium gets built anyway, and if the rumour is false, the stadium gets built...it's a win-win situation really.

As long as it was a red marquee.

So after a really quiet finish to last season, and a really quiet pre season, when none of the games mattered, suddenley just as it all starts to count we hear this news and all start protesting again!

For ****s Sake!

Some story about Amanda Staveley and her company buying something taken from today from some finance reporter in the Daily Mail.

Staveley's PCP Partners is also Sheik Maktoum's adviser on his known interest in acquiring Liverpool Football Club, which last night faced a tricky European Champions League qualifier against Belgium's Standard Liege. Co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett face an onerous task of balancing the books and failure to progress in the Champions League would be a financial disaster. Rumours suggest that plans to build a new stadium have already been shelved.

Seems the rumour is doing the rounds in the City as well

So Rafa had planned to go out of the competition and Dirk went and bloody spoiled it!

[Slinky Skills]

Anymore news on this?

[Johnny]

I`ll let you know more when I hear it!!!!!

[Fagan]

I hear this is from Johnny Mac - which makes it 95% likely to be true,

Yep, He broke the news this morning on raotl, Its very likely that the stadium has been canned.

[Fagan]

At least the parking issue can be sorted now.

I've always had my doubts about the Americans seeing this through and the slow progress of things has been worrying me, so I had a feeling something dodgy was going on
