I got offered a job at Buckingham's last year, chap i know there rang me up out of the blue and offered me the job without even applying for anything! Has to turn them down though as I had accepted an offer already closer to home.

It seems we should expect a major video of the roof structure being assembled shortly.
The weather and wind is critical so when the big roof truss gets up everyone will take note

Weather permitting.
the big lift is scheduled for 12 noon tomorrow saturday the 9th July.
process is a 5 hour long one to build up the sections of the truss and lift the thing into place and secure. There will be beams running from the back of the stand teir now assembled to the truss for locking it all into place.
This is the big show piece for us. expect videos thereafter.
A lot of folks will be out to watch if it goes ahead.

Anfield capacity.
Kop: 12,850
Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand 11,762
Main stand 20,676
New anfield road end 15,967
People always ask why not do the sir kenny stand like the main?
a) houses must go for space and right to light. at least 3 rows.
b) anfield would lose 11,762 seats to make this happen for a period. Why? cos the lower tier is NOT the same as the main stand in pitch or in space. the lower tier is 6,814 compared to 9300 in the main stand.
c) the current design has the maximum rake and minimum spacing so new regs mean you have to space stuff better.
A new main stand would mean a much deeper and shallower lower tier and the same up in the gods look.
It would be 250mil min for <9,000 extra fans. it would be a 20 year payback at minimum.
People also ask why not fill in the corners?
a) look a the kop roof supports
b) look at the main stand root supports.
c) look at the new anfield road end videos above
Masses of steel that will prevent it, It just isn't in the design.
People ask why is the kop not redone to be as big as the anfield road end.
a) Anfield sits on the walton brek A road and this won't be diverted
b) there's a listed pub right there that can't be touched
c) there's a church across the road.
d) the kop is already very very tight for people to sit in. redevelop and the rows need to be spaced out more.
e) the new stand is 2 tier and the kop is a single tier no posh **** zone.
f) Anyone who's been at the back of the kop knows what its like to watch through a letter box.
the club got away with squaring off a couple of areas at the back to add 250 seats a couple years ago as part of adding required wheel chair access. theres little enough space left to extend more and its already over the footpath.
so 61k is our lot. Peopel need to realise that the train line would need to be invested in next for 25/30mil to bring people to and from games anyway. that also has to be factored in.
Its now over to the council to actually redevelop the area and inject some decent maintenance and care (see link a few posts above.

Does the club own the land across the road from the kop end, which is currently just wasteland?
No.
Supposedly council has "plans"
It all adds to the dereliction in the area as they have no real intent to do anything imo.
OK, I didn’t know if was earmarked for a hotel or even as part of a potential Kop expansion.
