"old" Anfield

sorry if this is in the wrong place.

what is going to happen with anfield once we move into our new ground? is it going to be knocked down?

if it is how emotional would you all be?

ill probably cry like a baby 

I saw Tom Hicks saying that he wanted to leave the playing surface to be left there even when the stadium is knocked down. Man seems to be true to his word so far. Arent we lucky we have him and not Glazier.

that wont happen, everyone will be down with their spades at night.

bit of anfield in the backgarden would do nicely for me 

The enitre area where the stadium and the derelict houses are behind is to be developed isn't it?

we have to put a park there

A good name maybe AN(other)FIELD ?

When the gunners left Highbury the fans where able to by a little bit of the pitch, would be a great way to remeber it back home in the garden

When they made the kop into all seater.....you could buy a bit of the kop, I have a nice piece in my cupboard

I want Parry's seat when they sell the old Anfield bit by bit.

Will put Parry's seat by my bedroom window... and it will be sunny every day.

Why?

Because surely the sun shines from his arse, how the hell can you explain this fiasco and him still being in a job?

I'll take Foster Gillett's.

It's hardly used so will be the most pristine seat in the ground.

I went to Anfield in the fall.  Had to see it before the new place.  There's too much history there.  They need to preserve it.  Maybe make it the museum and use the pitch for a football school.  Eitherway, it's a shame to get rid of it.

You can't do that....too many people have had their ashes scattered there.

This may sound stupid, but with the Pitch being relayed each year, then there can not be many ashes from over the years still there? Sorry if I've upset anyone, but just a thought

very true Redpuppy, but i do think even that wouldn't stop people as they would only ever think of it as halloewd turf no matter how many times  it's been relaid !

They will keep the old Anfield up and use it as a place for concerts like they did with ricky hatton at the city of manchester stadium.

They shouldn't knock it down.
It's a great stadium and should be used for a musem? reserves ground? training ground?
soemthing.

The size of the stands should be reduced to a level of about 12 thousand and then it should be used for the reserves as they need a home, and all the finals in the Liverpool and district leagues at seasons end could use it from the kids to the pensioners including Men's and Ladies Finals. One day you may be walking past the old ground with your Grandchildren and you may say I saw some great Europeon nights in Anfeild son, ah those were the days....

It would be great if they knock down some of the stands or make them smaller and keep the Kop there... The Liverpool team can practice there? Not Melwood? Or maybe a place for Reserves to play their game... But I heard they're destroying it to make it into a plaza..

But then he'd say "we won the prem, CL and FA cup 12 years in a row grandad, these are the days"

Hope they at least keep the pitch there, maybe use it as a walk through for fans on the way to the new ground, it could be like a hallowed walk as you make your way over the hallowed turf, through the Shankly gates then look up and theres our new shiny stadium.

Why cant anfield be renovated and made bigger to accomodate more seats.Anfield is a fortress and i would be deeply heart broken if it gets knocked down as it is the home of liverpool fc.Its got so much history behind,lets keep it standing for centuries to come.

Hey Shandaman welcome to the forum.

I think it's highly unlikely that we will keep Anfield and make it bigger, but would like to think it could be turned into something for the local community.  I get the feeling we have agreed to sell it to a developer already though as land over here is being sold up to make posh apartment blocks like no ones business, it's a shame but a harsh reality.
