Jan 25th 2008 - New Anfield Stadium plans - 71,000 seats

This is to try and deflect attention surely??

I know the size has increased hasn't it
Looks good on the inside but not so good on the outside.. like a mothership!

It looks exactly the same as the original one that was released!! So what have they scaled down exactly?? Trying to get us back on their side by any chance??

It's just a smokescreen mate...

There are some minor alterations, the away end is definatly bigger, and i think the corners are better filled in.

What bothers me is this:
We have now got an extra 11,000 seats AND reduced the cost by £150.

Now forgive me for being slightly synical, but that does not add up!!!!

What is it built out of........lego!

If the Yanks have manged to pull that off then they are better buisnessmen than they are football club owners, but then i suppose that has already be proven.

I think it is spin personally, but i will reserve judgement for a while.

Listen, FFS, when you are dealing with something that big, there are lots of places you can save money on.

oh thank god for that! It still doesn't look great, but I can appreciate it's location and the design now. Thanks for the info.

My concern was exactly the same as yours StevieGforce, that the almighty pound had dictated the design and selling the heart of this club to the corporate whore.

Screen and Smoke come to mind.

So they will give us a better stadium within a drastically reduced budget...

Er...cough... DO YOU THINK WE ARE F***ing STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well yes, obviously so...

B A S T A R D S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spin, is exactly what this is.  They have done this to win us over again, I bet the new stadium will not look like this.  

Also can it be expanded?  And can we get permission for a 71,000 seater stadium.

I don't trust them anymore

So they spent more money on revised plans and gave a contract to the American company {which they now have to offer} just to make life difficult for the fans?

Do me a favour........

Original too expensive one



New cheap one



Scratching my head here girls and boys... How have they managed to fit an extra 11,000 seats in?

F**k knows.

When construction time comes around that's the time to assess it.

Obviously a well pointed out smoke screen.  They must think we are the most gullible wankers to believe that new design.

JD I think the extra seats are at the "away end" plus some seats appear to have been added in the corners, BUT WHAT ARE THE EXEC BOXES DOING IN THE KOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently they are a disabled viewing area, (but still looks stupid).

Well F***ing spotted!

That's hugely dissapointing & insulting!!   

I'm happy with it!

At the end of the day, this is the final design. It looks a lot more of a stadium than the last lot of pictures. Regardless of whether or not the American's are/were selling up or staying, these plans are Liverpool Football Club's. And it'll make me proud on a matchday, and that's all that matters!

Where do we park?

Whats the new kop end gonna be called?? the hicks end?

Don't mean to be ignorant but what are the differences in the design of this and the last plan? I know theres extra seats but is there a change in design I cant notice it?

Open them both in your browser and play spot the difference.

The roof is certainly different which makes me think have they cut back on making the accustics of the ground an important factor.

Then there's extra seats in the corners. Apart from that, looks pretty much the same to me.

Wonder when these plans will get scrapped?

i don't like the big massive gap in the kop

but otherwise i think it looks really cool and modern

It looks like that.

It appears to be less intimidating in terms of being tight and packed as such and more like any other ground.

Some comparisons of the designs.  Still can't spot the 11,000 extra seats.  You would have to say away end - doesn't help that one of the original pics was simulated for a night game.
