New Stadium

[Guest Kev]

now 50/50. And even with a yes vote the club cannot get all the money together even with grants etc etc and is at least 4 -5 years away from being completed.

[Guest Kev]

Do tell....

 

Can't, been asked not to, they are all to do with off the field activities.........or rather lack of them.

[Guest snez1]

Thank f***, thought it was to do with Rafa for a second.

Nope, his name never came up. The only good point of a very tiring and frustrating day and I've still got f***ing 10 hours to do in work

The trouble is that all this indecision is going to leave us further behind Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal and Newcastle financially. Their income from gate receipts is, or in Arsenal's case, will be far beyond what we can make and we will find ourselves picking from the second tier of transfer players each year,

Re: Arsenal, isn't it going to take them something like 25 years of full attendances to pay the fee back? They're certainly not going to be in a better financial state for a good while. And Man U , they're only about £500m in debt. Ok so it increases yearly income, but when you take into account the initial outlay it's not an obvious decision.

Happy about this.

 

I love Anfield the way it is, aside from the lack of atmosphere for league games but that won't improve in a new ground.

 

Hopefully it won't happen.

If we joined forces with Everton the could pay for the refreshment stands then we would be 60% there

Why? Surely we could use the money we would save from not building a stadium towards buying players?

yeah yeah....as for Newcastle it really dowsnt matter if you dont win trophies

 

We are competing with united now and they have 20,000 more spectators as it is

 

Sometimes a club can lose it's soul

 

now go and watch the Chelsea second leg from last season and come back and tell me again we should leave that stadium

[aka Dus]

Fun for all the family. Anyone can play, literally.

spot on .If all this means we stay at our rightful home,I for one will be a happy man.To state the bleedin obvious,if we move away there's no going back.Look how we all miss the standing Kop,we may have comfier seats if we move, but the atmosphere will never hit the hights it can still do now.

 

Money and income seems to be everyone's main concern,but we're copeing very well now with the income we have,and as mentioned previously, we've still got our soul.

 

We thrive on our history and ram it down every f*****s' face who cares to listen,so lets not knock our greatest asset down for a few extra bob.

I have an evertonian mate who keeps telling me that we dont own anfield anymore, that we sold it long ago and we lease it back of the owners. I dont believe him for a second, but can someone just confirm that we do actually own the stadium cheers

The impact that atmosphere has on the team and result can sometimes be overstated but I defy anyone to tell me that the fans didn't play a huge, huge part in the Olympiakos, Juve and (particularly) the Chelsea games last year.

 

I left the ground after the semi KNOWING that I had just contributed to that result, as did 40,000 or so other peolple.

 

For me, Anfield as it is now is a bigger asset to us than a slightly larger ground would be. Just listen to the way that players (our own and those of other clubs) talk about the place.

 

I think it is madness to chuck that away (and it would be chucked away) for the sake of 10,00 extra seats that would probably be empty for a fair few games anyway.

 

I don't like the 'twelth man' tag or talk of retiring the no.12 because it is all a bit too self-congratulatory, but the fact of the matter is that there are times when the crowd have a bigger impact than any player can.

I'd say Man Utd in the cup this season as well.

Anfield is past it, if we don?t move so will we.

 

Long held the belief that we'll not be moving.

 

Midtable obscurity here we come.

 

As far as I?m concerned we have the best manager in Europe, my concern can we keep him? Will we be able to recruit another outstanding manager in the future with an old ground and limited transfer budget?

 

Think people really need toy put their sycophantic nostalgia away, we?re going to die.
