Anfield or New Anfield

[Maldini]

There's no room to expand the Kop. It's a different situation to the Anny Rd end in that there's a main road behind the Kop and no scope to reroute it. Even if they expans backwards and put the road under it I doubt it'd be allowed as it'd tower over people's houses.

 

The Kop really should get expanded but I don't know how they'll do it, there's no room to go backwards, and not even enough to square it off.

 

Maybe there's enough to fill in the corners like at the Westfalenstadion though?

 

[Chinandeler Bong]

Sentiment would mean redevelopment but there is a huge advantage at building a brand new ground.

Redevelopment would mean a serious loss of revenue, even one stand at a time but building a new ground would mean continued revenue whilst its being built.

There is room to increase the Kop. They can put some extra rows in at a steeper angle (within safety limits) as far back as the club's boundary ie almost to the railings outside the Kop.

 

There may be some issues about light for the buildings opposite though.

 

By changing the roof line and support structure, when the re develop the Main stand, they could fill in the corner as you say.

 

Im not certain about the Centenary side though.

Just build a new fucking stadium and be done with it.

Yes, but the cost would likely bankrupt us!

You gonna pay for it?

[Dougie Do'ins]

Why does seemingly every design I see that redevelops the stadium always include building on the Main Stand as opposed to knocking it down.

 

It's the oldest stand in the ground, it's cramped, it's cold, it's small and the facilities would make Everton Blush.

So is every other stand in the ground.

Na that main stand is an embarrasment, for a club like us its pathetic and I fucking hate sitting in it.

[Trumo]

The fact that the Main Stand still has wooden benches shows just how decrepit it has become. Replacing them with modern plastic seating and leaving everything else as is would be akin to putting lipstick on a pig, or maybe something Everton would do.

Im not certain if the Main stand dates from 1892 but certainly when it was developed in 1970, they just put some more rows in at the back and put a new roof on.

 

I expect they did update some of the facilities but, essentially it is the oldest structure by some way.

The Main Stand is the worst stand in the ground. It's crumbling. If you had a key and chipped at the walls inside you'd get through to the other side in an hour.

 

It simply has to be torn down for this project to be at all realistic.

[Antynwa]

The corporate facilities as well are sub standard. Plenty of tickets in the main stand go to corporates.

 

As well as this the concourses are cramped and it's nigh on impossible to get half time food.

Agreed. If we can utilise the area in Lothair Road and Anfield Road then it makes sense to demolish both stands and build 2 new modern stands with boxes and corporate facilities in their place. We would also be able to infill the corners as well.

[Jose Jones]

I've never ever been in the main stand. Is that weird? It was Kop for years, then Kop, Kemlyn or Anny Road as I became a part timer.

Now it's tv at a shit time, obviously.

[Barnesey]

We must stay at Anfield if it is at all poosible; I've always been told it isn't.

 

We only need redevelop the Main and Anfield Road stands to get 60k. But we need more land, need to close a road for good and would have to play to much reduced crowds for an extended period; is this possible?

[Carradona]

The Main Stand is cramped?

 

I reckon it has the best leg room in the ground.

Do you have detachable legs?

Anfield getting redeveloped no new ground. New tier on anny road next season away fans banned capacity down to 37000 then main stand knocked down following year will be announced shortly.

Thats the rumour. Although where has it come from?

[Trumo]

All this talk about a new tier on the Anny Road End. Is that a third tier or an extension of the existing second tier? Either way, how will they resolve the fact they had to install pillars about 10 years ago because of structural issues?

Watch other clubs cut our away allocation in retaliation.

I'd imagine a third tier so they can have another row of corporate boxes.

Just cutting off there nose that, as it'll come out of there matchday revenue, united banned away fans in the 90's for a couple of year while redevelopment was ongoing

That'd be their loss as most clubs in this league cant fill their ground and theres even less incentive to do so if theres so few away fans coming. Bar Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal they'd all lose money so it wont happen.

Not all clubs will do it but there will be some, of that I am sure.
