    Hope if this is true then it means they've found a way to get at LEAST 20,000 extra seats in if not more. We should be thinking of atleast a 70k capacity stadium. Not like we wouldn't fill it every week

    If it meant staying at Anfield I'd be over the moon with a 60 000 Anfield rather than a slightly bland Emirates style 70 000 ground named after some random American sports brand...if we have to sell our collective soul to fund ever more ridiculous wage demands then I'd rather we just didn't bother.

    ...unless it was for a Camp Nou style affair in which case i'd probably accept a bit of soul selling <whistle>

    It could also mean within a few years afterwards having regenerated the area around the ground there could be the option of extending it by another 20,000.

    I wouldn't hold my breath on the club regenerating anything around the ground tbh what with their track record over the last 20 years being abysmal on that score (my biggest bugbear with the club but I won't rant on about that today).

    Your point is spot on though...extending Anfield now doesn't exclude future expansion...in fact if we'd added another 10 000 ten years ago when we could have we'd have earned (at a conservative estimate) about a 100 million quid in extra match day revenue.

    Instead we've had another decade of pretending a new stadium's going to be built and still not a sign of "a spade in the ground". It has to stop IMO.

    This is realy bad news.

    Yes Anfield is home. But if we want to compete with the biggest teams then we need a 60-70,000 seater.

    We will not get this from expanding Anfield.

    Holding out for Stanley Park.

    We could (at less than half the price and some clever planning and yes 18 months of pain) build Anfield up to 60 000 though. And I personally have always had a big issue with the way we as a club have treated the local area and its people and now we intend to snatch half the local PUBLIC park and build a feck off big stadium on it with little intention of compensating the locals. I think Shanks and Sir Bob will be spinning in their respective graves just at the thought of it sadly.

    If it were a choice between redeveloping Anfield and a new ground, my choice would be to redevelop Anfield. Anfield has an aura about it that a spanking new stadium couldn't match. The majority of visiting teams are scared stiff when they visit. Ryan Giggs calls it ''his least favourite away ground''. A bigger Anfield would be even more intimidating than it currently is, and it is intimidating.

    Billy,

    What is it that you would want the club to do for the local inhabitants?
