Like it. Got faith in these owners night and day difference from the other lot.
Liverpool to Redevelop Anfield
- Thread starter BaZ87
- Start date

Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I hope the increased capacity makes tickets easier to come by.
Don't get your hopes up. Of the extra 8,500 seats that the new main stand will bring, 6,000 of those will be corporate seats.
It will only be when the Anfield Road stand (and if/when they fill the corners in) is ready that a noticeable amount of regular seats are added.
The council are paying for the regeneration of the area, they won't be contributing to the cost of redeveloping the stadium though.

I think I'm right in saying that you've lost a fair few quid in the last couple of years as far as FFP is concerned, so does this announcement have anything to do with that seeing as it was made around the time you were guaranteed a CL place next season?

Great news, there's going to be an update to our ground situation on Tuesday at the AGM.
I look forward to the 52k stadium on Stanley Park, spade in the ground next week.
Thanks LCC.

Thanks LCC.No. Costs related to stadium work etc (which make up a large amount of the money we've lost) are not counted towards FFP.
In The Times the other day it said Liverpool had spent £50m on the Stanley Park project.
Yep, the costs were wrote off a year ago.
I hope they never do this. It seems to ruin the atmosphere.
Subway? Are we regenerating Anfield to accommodate more fans now or the next generation of super fat fans in the future?
It's in keeping with the area
There's little prospect of it happening anytime soon. The club are said to have drawings for it already however they were never mentioned when plans for the first phase were released and the club would have to do fairly major infrastructure work before they can go above 60,000.

Ha! Up yours Liverpool, never mind the council knocking down a few houses, they're going buy us a new stadium.

Another small step forward:

Planners have approved the application for the redevelopment of the Main stand (and outline permission for the Anfield Road stand) with the Council due to vote on it next Tuesday.

Good news 
15 years and countless planning applications since the stadium debate began, work on the new Main Stand will officially begin on Monday ready to open at the start of the 2016/17 season.

A few financials details on the build. The total cost of the new main stand will be approximately £115m, including all the land acquisition costs, which will be paid by an interest free loan from FSG. That loan is expected to be repaid in around 5 years from the increased match day revenue once the stand is completed.
If I'm not mistaken all new seats added will have to be bigger to meet current regulations so the main stand should be fine once the work is finished and the Anfield road stand once that's done too.
