Apparently bascombe is saying it'll be a refurb but work won't start for another year as we need new planning permission.

It's an absolute disgrace the amount of money that went out of the door during Hicks and Gillett's reign in terms of the stadium. Money that could have been set aside for redeveloping Anfield.

LIVERPOOL face another year's delay before they get the OK for a £200m Anfield redevelopment.

And with a refurbishment of the stadium likely to take two years, the earliest Liverpool can hope to complete the construction is for the start of the 2014-15 season.

 

The club's American owners are in the midst of a fresh feasibility study to modernise the existing ground into a 65,000-seater stadium.

 

Owner John W. Henry said in November Liverpool wanted to make a final decision on the stadium "within a year", but it will take longer to get permission to build it.

 

Henry's Fenway Sports Group have consistently distanced themselves from the two plans already approved.

 

One, by Manchester based architects AFL is too old. The other Tom Hicks-inspired plan is too expensive.

The local council need to pull their finger out and start playing ball and Liverpool Football Club need to start being a lot more firmer with the council. The whole regeneration of the area and the stadium issue has been on hold for far too long and both parties should work together to get this issue resolved asap. It is criminal that the surrounding area has fallen into such disrepair.

You couldn't be further from the truth, Liverpool have held up all the regeneration in the area,

 

Liverpool football club, have in one form or another have had planning permission for over 7 years for a new stadium and through Moores,H&G and now FSG have failed to give a definite answer to their plans

I'm not disputing that but the situation needs resolving asap. Both parties need to get their act together and work in tanem to bring this matter to a speedy conclusion. If LFC are the catalyst for regenerating the area then it is in everyone's interests if the owners declare their intentions so that the local council can grant or deny planning permission sooner rather than later.

If Chris Bascombe's article is accurate and the figure for redevelopment is £200m then I imagine that the stadium upgrade will involve more than just demolishing and building a new Anfield Rd and Main Stand.

A refurbishment or a redevelopment? Both to me are different, a refurbishment would not necessarily mean a increase in capacity. It could mean keeping the capacity but adding a few things to increase revenue. A redevelopment, would add capacity.

Or on players. Wouldn't have had any need for sell to buy.

[Antynwa]

£200 Million for a redeveloped stadium?

 

Why not just build one?

Redevelopment to 65k.

 

Fussy arse.

Not being funny mate, 65k is Bascombe guessing I would say. Ian Ayre said recently a refurbishment of Anfield will happen if we didn't move. But would a refurbishment mean extra capacity?

[Guest ShoePiss]

I really don't understand much about planning permission but I do know we will have to get new permission to redevelop Anfield but surely as with the old planning permission the stipulation of a transportation plan would still kick in if capacity is above 60k?

 

I wonder if a 65k capacity would make any sense if something like new train station has to be opened up.

 

I wish we'd just get this agreed either way, it's now May 2011.

[Unrighteous]

A redevelop to 65,000. A new train station at Anfield, and a massive LFC owned beer garden/restaurant would be perfect!

[Guest ShoePiss]

You forgot to add buying Messi

cus we wanna stay where we are. As FSG did with the Red Sox. We can't throw away our spiritual home if there is an alternative.

 

Until that presentation at the SOS AGM last year, I thought we had to go. But if there is a viable alternative, we must stay. Sod the cost

I'd rather stay at Anfield. I think a new stadium would cost more than that too. The youth of today. Make do and mend is all but forgotten. Tish.

[WaltonRed]

Just fucking get a move on

[Hooch]

Does anyone else think the owners, like the previous ones, haven't realised just how much it is going to cost them and are now dilly dallying?
