      I really need to get in tune...I knew of course that Everton were a local club, had no idea Anfield was so close...bloody ignorant yank
      Don't worry about it, we know you're still learning and it's great that you're interested anyway.
      What I like to do sometimes is go on Google Streetview and have a look around the area. It'll give you a sense of how hemmed in both stadiums are and why expansion is such an issue.

      Looks like there's some kind of blue and white shed just north of Stanley Park Lake. We could bulldoze that monstrosity and build a multi-story there.

      I actually thought it was a port-a-potty.

      Thanks for posting those pictures though soxfan, although I'd imagine many Liverpool fans looking at those pictures will think it looks like a very soulless experience.
      Tell that to the 81,000 Chiefs fans dressed in red who fill Arrowhead every Sunday.  :D

      1. ..........but Everton are a small club so they would need a small stadium.

      2. We would have to make sure we were upwind of any prevailing smells emanating out of their ground.

      Too technical that.


      Nah.

      I wouldn't share a bag of chips with the bitters, nevermind Stanley Park! Pity we have to share the town with them!

      Why don't we take over both the stadiums and let Everton play on their training ground for change?

      This could work, with a 65,000 main stadium with a 20-25,000 second stadium. We'd have the large 65,000 ground with the second one for our reserves and youth games! As for those bitters they can rot were they are!

      Think we all know no matter what economic sense this would make it isn't going to happen. It looks bloody awful too despite the obvious negativity it would receive.

      I also don't believe the redevelopment of Anfield is an option, we all have a special place in our hearts for the place but for our club to succeed at the very highest level now it is holding us back and sentimentality does not win League titles. Liverpool have a fan base big enough to fill 100,000 seater and to compete with the likes of Shitty and Chavski we have to move and we will move, the quicker the better. We will without doubt sell the naming rights but everyone will call it Anfield anyway so good luck to the bidders!

      Do you work for the city council?

      Surprised your not advocating a shared stadium as well.

      By the way where was the fan base at home to Bolton on New Years Day! Our fanbase isn't big enough to fill a 100,000 seater, especially if we're not doing well.

      Our Anfield ground means everything to me, Stanley Park is just a Park.

      I wouldn't vote for a shared stadium either, sharing grounds with the bitters didn't work once before and it wont work again. Just because something has such emotional ties you should also appreciate the financial noose it puts around our neck and the longer we stay the tighter it gets.

      If you're willing to let your heart rule your head you'll make many mistakes in your life and if you were given charge of this choice this would be a massive one for Liverpool's future. In the end you'd live to regret it and have done massive damage to a club you clearly love.

      The time has come to close the doors and keep the gates of what is and has been a fantastic home for us.

      Looks quite nice actually. Be good to have our training ground so close to our stadium. ;D

      I wouldn't want us to have anything as soulless as that, but Stanley Park is a pretty big park.



      I think there is about 1200 car spaces on the existing Stanley Park site.
      There's a place Northeast of Stanley park where those bitters can make do with their stadium...
