      With the current plans they can only build up to 60,000. To renovate towards 70,000 would require at least a new rail-link and plenty of road changes to allow the flow of transport around the area.

      Thanks for letting me know that. Was totally unaware of these implications.

      Yeah remember hearing it a while back, when the other yanks were talking about new super shiny stadiums, came out about the changes that would be needed if we wanted anything over 60,000.

      Has there been anymore update on this?

      Seems to be moving along very very slowly, I know there's been a lot said but is there any action happening as of yet?

      I was the fans would be a lot more in the loop, hopefully there is some substantial progress made in the summer.

      Well judging by today's financial report we'll be lucky if anything happens within the next 6-12 months on this. Dread to think how much debt the club is likely to face if we don't reach 4th this season and getting certain players off the wage bill.

      It shows that we cannot improve the squad let alone the stadium redevelopment come the summer unless we are able to sell players otherwise FSG would be putting more available money into the transfer kitty which it seems they haven't got!

      You do realize the numbers released don't include any of the sponsorship deals signed by FSG (Garuda, Warrior, Chevrolet)?
      Also don't include wage trimming done this year if I am correct.

      I hope you are right and I think you are. Surely the wage bill trimming alone accounts for a substantial annual saving?

      It does seem that these figures have been released to the media for a specific reason by a particular party.......

      Heard this morning that they are going to curve the Main Stand/Anny Road end.  Best solution for building would be to do them both stands at the same time, as it would involve removing all the dug out/areas under the Main Stand where the board members and players etc are.  That was suggestion from architects.

      Can't see LFC entertaining that idea - I'm not sure on ST numbers but I'm sure it is bigger than can fit in the Kop and Centenary.

      The phrase 'logistical nightmare' sprang to my mind!

      Spent the afternoon trawling the web for any information - and alas, nothing... I know this is the Lazarus of boards, but there has to become a point where NESV actually do something or issue a statement confirming they wont.

      SI.com: One thing they did with Fenway Park, instead of building a new stadium, they did a lot of smart things around the stadium while refurbishing the stadium itself to increase revenue streams. That seems to be the approach Liverpool decided to take with Anfield. Where are you right now with that plan?

      Ayre: We've always said the preference was to stay at Anfield. It's the heart of the football club. I remember the first time John and Tom came to look at Liverpool before they bought it. I was the person showing them around. When we went into Anfield, John said to me, "This is like Fenway. It's the same feeling. Why would we want to build a new stadium?"

      In order to extend Anfield, we need to acquire a bunch of privately owned property around the stadium. We're making really good progress with that. We have a meeting coming up in the next few weeks with the city council and ourselves and stakeholders. We said some months back it would take several months to improve that property acquisition situation. We're definitely on target so far. The No. 1 priority is to stay at Anfield, but there are two or three hoops to go through. The first is property acquisition. The second will be planning. And the third will be to build the thing. I would guess our next announcement on it will come sometime in May or June.
