      Posted on LFC Transfer Specs recently, a mock up of what the stadium will look like from the inside, looks bloody impressive that.

      I thought we were keeping the Main Stand, and adding/building on top of it. But that looks like the Main Stand has been rebuilt, there appears to be no Paddock.

      Are they also going to be redoing any of the interior?   the player areas etc seem to be especially behind the times.

      Lot of money for just 9,000 extra seats - was expecting around 60,000 to be honest.

      Looks impressive though.

      If you have a look at my post http://www.lfcreds.com/reds/index.php/topic,33422.msg1606969.html#msg1606969

      The last two images have a sh*t load of hospitality space. That is where the money will come from.

      LFC reveal stadium expansion vision
      Public consultation and exhibitions on the proposals are scheduled for this week and LFC are asking for residents, fans and local businesses to give their views as part of its planning application, which the club expects to submit in the summer.

      The exhibition shows the detailed design proposals for the redevelopment of the Main Stand which could add an additional 8,500 seats taking the Main Stand capacity to nearly 21,000 and overall Anfield capacity to around 54,000.

      Incorporating the iconic club crest into the proposed Main Stand's exterior elevation, the scheme will also include a two-storey podium and a carefully designed cloister which will become the new home for the Hillsborough Memorial.

      The Main Stand will open onto a wide public concourse which will link the stadium into the wider Anfield area.

      The outline proposals for the Anfield Road Stand provide for an increase in its capacity of around 4,800 seats.

      In October 2012, Liverpool City Council announced its plans to transform the Anfield area with a comprehensive regeneration plan. LFC committed to working with the City Council and Your Housing Group in support of their delivery of the regeneration plan and also confirmed its preference was to expand Anfield stadium.

      Ian Ayre, Liverpool FC managing director, said: "As part of our proposed stadium redevelopment project, we have unveiled the detail of our ambitious plans for an expanded Main Stand and Anfield Road stand and are embarking on a consultation process which will shape and inform our planning application.

      "In order to move forward with our expansion plans we need to have certainty that we can navigate the complex planning process and secure the support of the community, local home owners, businesses and other key stakeholders. This consultation exercise is an important part of this process.


      We started this journey just over 18 months ago and a lot of work has already been done, there is still an incredible amount to do, but good progress has been made so far and we are proud to be able to unveil our plans."

      Liverpool City Council has confirmed that negotiations with property owners are progressing well and all parties are close to agreement but there are still details to be finalised.

      Following this consultation process, Liverpool FC expects to refine its plans and submit a planning application to the City Council during the summer.

      If consent is granted, construction work on the proposed Main Stand could begin early next year and it could be complete in time for the 2016-17 season.


      Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, said: "This is another important step in our ambitions to transform the Anfield area, bringing new jobs, investment and housing.

      "The overall regeneration of Anfield will see £260m invested in the local community and will deliver hundreds of jobs - Liverpool Football Club's proposals for the stadium are a key part of this.

      "We are all committed to delivering a brighter future for Anfield and the club's exhibition is a clear signal that real progress is being made with all our plans."



      Brian Cronin, chief executive of Your Housing Group, said: "This is another significant step in the process for the Anfield Project and we welcome the headway which is being made by all parts of the partnership. Once again, the local community are being given the opportunity to see the proposals before the application is made which underlines the 'community first' approach we are collectively taking.

      "It's doubtless that many of our residents are very keen to see the plans and see how the new stadium might look and we are committed to making this happen."

      Fair point about the hospitality - forgot about that. In the article it also mentions 'Phase 2' which involves work on the Anfield Road end to take capacity close to 60,000.

      An extra 9000 what's the point!

       Considering it's taken this long for phase 1 we can safely assume phase 2 wont be complete in the lifetime of most of us.

      It would depend how old you are.

      Phase 2 will only be built if there is the demand.  :lmao:

      Don't even need to answer that one really.

      I originally said why 60,0000 we can easily sell out a 70000+ every game.

      You know that & I know that. But I can understand why they are doing it in dribs,and drabs.

      Rather that blowing a load of dosh in one go, that will take ages to recoup, they are taking things slowly.

      One big expansion may require naming rights.

      Plus there is the small matter of transport infrastructure. Anything above 60,000 will require major investment in that.

      On a side note.

      9,000 X 19 games X £60 for arguments sake = £10,260,000 extra a year.

      If correct, the reported £100m could be repaid in 10 years, less when you add Cup games and Hospitality.

      It makes sense to me.

      With this Anfield will be just under 60,000 in capacity with improvements in the stadium and area as well. Happy for this and is a good stepping point. For those of you asking for 70,000 off the bat that would be 25,000 additional seats and a ton of money. For me I like the idea, expand it slowly and keep costs to a minimal.
