When are we likely to get definitive stadium news?

[janmolby]

They mentioned naming rights for the stand. Any idea what kind of figure you'd be taking about?

[Paulie Dangerously]

Currently Everton do huge discounts on tickets fir the smaller games. I saw a ticket stub from their Cardiff match which was £11 for an adult (that's only a quid more than Marine charge) plus businesses in th area offered bulk discount deals.

 

If they're paying for a stadium presumably these discounts would have to end as they'd need people paying full whack so I'd imagine their attendance would plummet. Or they'd go the other way,discount them all to get 50k bums on seats and hope they buy enough Chang to prevent the council bailing them out

[Russ Atmosphere]

They'd only get a new stadium if we move and leave them Anfield and we're not.

[old skool tom]

could someone itk do a mock up of how the new MS will look next to kop from pitch.

 

reckon roof height of MS compared to Kop roof is going to look stupid is it not?

Work will start in early 2015.

Lost amongst the transfer news, Ian Ayre's promotion and the World Cup was this from the official:

 

Liverpool FC ‏@LFC 9m

#LFC has today submitted its planning application to redevelop Anfield stadium. More details: http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/latest-news/164295-lfc-submit-stadium-planning-application … pic.twitter.com/7w8R7DCoHD

 

The submission of the application follows a major public consultation in which the overwhelming majority of local residents, businesses and fans backed the proposals.

The document submitted to Liverpool City Council today applies for detailed planning consent to expand the Main Stand and outline consent for the expansion of its Anfield Road stand.

The application is expected to be considered by the city's planning committee later this year.  

If consent is granted, the proposals would see the capacity of a new Main Stand rise by 8,500, taking it to nearly 21,000 and overall Anfield capacity to around 54,000. The outline proposals for the Anfield Road stand provide for an increase in its capacity of around 4,800 seats, taking the total stadium capacity to 58,800....

wonder what sort of bike ayre will get himself

He'll know about it if a hog falls on him from that height.

The Kop is well and truly dwarfed judging by that, more so that was suggested in the renders that were published a couple of months ago. The new away end looks almost exactly like Dortmund's Nordtribune. I'm not sure if that Kop roof is accurate because to my mind, it protrudes further beyond the front row of the stand itself than is shown here. I don't have the schematics so that may well be a trick of the eye.

Went past the ground before, some of the houses behind the main stand are already knocked down

I wish my flat was inside a football stadium, there are no drawbacks.

Sacrificing seats for apartments a normal person could not afford if they lived to be a hundred. What a shocker

[PestiRed]

I presume that I would be allowed to use the pitch as a garden on non-match days.

 

You are all invited to a barbecue when I buy one

How exactly are they sacrificing seats?

Miserable git.Buy one at Goodison or the Emirates. Either no semi final or no noise

I was going to get one at Goodison but apparently it's tough to get a mortgage when the survey turns up woodworm.

how come the upper AR is only going to hold 4,000-5,000 when its much bigger than the lower AR that holds around 6,000 ?

 

Maybe in future we could add 2/3 thousand to kop or point the roof up 45 degrees so its joins up with new Main Stand Roof so it doesnt look as small?

 

I also hate way current lower AR & Centeenary join up......hope one day we get a new Centeenary Stand and sort out the ugly join up in corner

[Trumo]

how come the upper AR is only going to hold 4,000-5,000 when its much bigger than the lower AR that holds around 6,000 ?

 

The capacity of that stand is going to increase by 4500-odd in total, taking it to 13-14000. The upper tier will be rebuilt with the new upper tier holding whatever it does at the moment plus the extra 4500, and the lower tier will remain as it is.
