When are we likely to get definitive stadium news?

Why is the Mayor saying the exact opposite of Xerxes?

 

Because xerxes has an agenda to pursue.

Which is?

[Guest San Don]

Which is?

 

Seriously!?!

Why is the Mayor saying the exact opposite of Xerxes?

 

Because the Mayor is a politician?

The article is contradictory.

 

It states that the houses block stadium expansion, not the regeneration as a whole. As such the legal justification is hardly "unequivocal".And of course if it were true, they would have been applied for already.

 

I agree with the timeframe for delay. The cost of delay,revenue loss of around £30m a season, suggests that any of the rumoured ransoms at between £200k- £500k would be cheap at the price.

 

Dougie Do'ins asked exactly how committed the club was to the project- that is probably the more pertinent question.

Supporters' Committee meets club's owners

The committee then asked for an update on the proposed stadium expansion. Principal owner Henry confirmed that he was pleased with progress but there is still a lot of work to be done which is out of the club's hands.

"We remain supportive of Liverpool City Council's and Your Housing Group's Anfield Vision, which was launched in June last year, to transform the Anfield area," said Henry.

"Since then, a tremendous amount of work has been done by the club around the feasibility of any proposed stadium expansion. Any final decision continues to be based on certainty.

"Certainty that we can obtain the necessary land around the stadium to facilitate any expansion; certainty that there is demand for any future expansion; certainty that we have home owners' support; and certainty that we will be able to navigate the complex planning landscape.

"We are very positive with the progress to date and will continue to be fully supportive of the regeneration project."

Should of asked them where the Arteta money was?

[Reckoner]

There you go, they just need to be certain that they 'will be able to navigate the complex planning landscape.'

And there's some of you saying they talk vague meaningless bollocks. Shame on you.

New Anfield delivered a 60k stadium with certainty, and if approved when they arrived, would have been open around now.

let's not dwell on the past.  Let's look forward with optimism.

[Tyler Durden]

Wonder if it will have moved any further in another 3 1/2 years ?

I'm going to stick my neck out and say no.

I'm diarising this post for 27/7/2017. If a new stadium is underway by then, I'm having a go on your missus.

I remember saying it when Dalglish left the first time.  I've got form.

She'll be 3 1/2 years uglier by then.

Don't tweet that to Collymore, whatever you do.

[Dougie Do'ins]

So 4 are derelict and the other 2 are vacant? I assume they are holding out for the big payoff?

 

Let them wait and then they will get far less from the CPO anyway.

 

What are the odds they are either bitter blueshite or Lithuanian landlords :)

There are still 5 or 6 occupied properties in Lothair Road. These are the houses that effect the stadium development. The demolition of houses which are within the footprint of the wider development have already started to be demolished.

 

But yeah, lets just turf people out of their homes just because they want to protect themselves against corporate moneymen. It's more than just bricks and mortar to some people.

Money talks, it would with me anyway...

It would with me too but lets at least offer them a price worth taking. As I said, it's more than just bricks and mortar.

Liverpool hope to submit plans to redevelop Anfield in April and complete work on an expanded Main Stand before 2018, according to the latest regeneration proposal for the area.

A document entitled the Anfield Spatial Regeneration Framework (SRF) was released on Thursday giving more details on Liverpool's stadium scheme, plus the city council's attempt to improve housing and job prospects in Anfield. The SRF will be considered by the council on 7 February and, if the draft is approved, a four-week public consultation will take place before it can be officially adopted by the council in April.

Liverpool intend to apply for planning permission to expand the Main Stand and Anfield Road Stand, although the city council has still to acquire four houses – owned by two people – that would need to be demolished as part of the plan. Deals have been agreed for 67 of the 71 properties affected by the stadium plans and compulsory purchase orders could be served on the remaining four houses by the end of February. CPOs, however, are considered a last resort and could potentially cause a 12-month delay.

 

While Liverpool will seek planning permission to expand two sides of Anfield, the SRF draft mentions that: "subject to residents' support and planning approval, the club would wish to expand its Main Stand, followed by potential redevelopment of its Anfield Road stand."

The club would initially focus on a complex expansion of its Main Stand before deciding on the viability of following suit at the Anfield Road end. While no designs are included in the SRF, it is understood Liverpool intend to build "up and over" the existing Main Stand, partially demolish the existing structure, and finally join the old and new stands together.

It is projected there will be no reduction in Anfield's matchday capacity while work is under way. "The stadium is expected to be a landmark not only for the Anfield area but representing the Liverpool city on a global stage," the SRF reads. "Therefore the highest quality of design is required."

The SRF also reveals plans for a '96 Avenue' in honour of those who died at Hillsborough. The "wide, high quality" avenue would run behind the new Main Stand between Stanley Park and Walton Breck Road and "would be a major focal point for the area". Liverpool have held discussions about a possible relocation of the Hillsborough Memorial with representatives of the families. The Memorial may have to be moved during construction work and the ultimate aim, according to the SRF, is to have "an area of quiet contemplation and reflection for the Hillsborough Memorial".

Building onto the Anfield main stand - shudder.

Just heard Spurs are putting a late bid in for the last 4 houses
