How do you expand the footprint ? There's literally no land around the stadium, bordered by water and roads etc. Edited February 22, 2022 by Ray Von shabba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2018 world cup plans expanded the capacity (they are out of date as has already been pointed out). These also had the provision built in for capacity expansion to 50k. So in short you are totally spot on and this constant s h i t e that keeps getting spouted about tainting etc especially from our own fans just needs to stop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference between Hillsborough (the area) and Anfield (the area) is that Anfield had literally hundreds of empty houses that LFC bought and then knocked down to expand the current ground. I believe that the Anfield Road end (away end) is next and that there are a few houses that wouldn't sell to allow for this expansion and renovation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another alternative would be to sell naming rights to some commercial concern. We get money and lose the Hillsborough disaster connection all in one move. The Tesla Stadium might bring in a few bob or the Amazon Stadium maybe. Knowing our commercial abilities it might end up as the Sausage Cottage Stadium. We'd never live it down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanBird Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 No reason to destroy a historic place just for the sake of it. - Re-name the stadium, if you struggle with the name (I don't) - Built flood barriers - we surely will need them with the climate crisis - Upgrade whatever necessary, but leave some historical bits and some character 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool had bought a lot of houses and left them empty near 10 years blighting the area. On the road where the main stand was they owned every house bar 2 ,which were then comp purchased I believe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
