Look Liverpool fans on New Stadium
Gareth Lester
Option 1
A New ground, A new ground with a much bigger capacity would give Liverpool
Football Club that extra boost financialy to keep us in with a shout of Signing the Top
Players. A bigger stadium would also give more fans the chance to see the mighty reds in
Action.
Option 2
An expansion of Anfield is my prefered option. It is and always will be in my mind
the home of Liverpool Football club. The capicity will be increased and a little more
money will be generated from the expansion. More fans will get the chance to see the Team
play,But we won't lose the History or the Heritage that is Anfield!!
John Stephenson
Why do people want to stay at Anfield and not move to a new stadium there is such a
struggle to find somewhere to park the club needs a bigger stadium to compete with biggest
teams in Europe 70,000 is about right.
Jason Sadler
After sampling the electric atmosphere at Cardiff's 70,000 all-seater stat of the
art Millenium Stadium I feel the only way forward is for Liverpool to build a new stadium
- and maybe use the design from Wales' National Stadium.
' Jimmy Pap'
Liverpool must build a new stadium to be able to compete with other big clubs of
Europe. The new stadium will also be more comfortable for all supporters to enjoy.I think
that the pitch needs to be a little bigger to allow Liverpool to play its great passing
game, imagine the atmosphere with 70,000
Liverpool supporters in the stadium,,just awsome!
I can not wait until the new stadium is ready. |

In my humble opinion the new stadium should have a capacity of at least 60,000 -
65,000 seats otherwise it seems a luxury just to up a measly 10 000 seats from the current
capacity.
On the other hand attendance figures at Anfield seem to fail to reach capacity as
it is now, how come?
I hope that ticket prices will not spiral too high as this will eventually lead to
lower gates, especially if we up our capacity. It is more important to house great crowds
rather than attract financially viable (but fewer) spectators at Anfield. It would be
great to see gates of +60k making great noise instead of +40k wealthy but also quiet
supporters occupying the stands.
Make no mistake, both are necessary at a new stadium, but the impression i got from
my last vivits to Anfield was that of disappointment. The atmosphere had dipped
dramatically, I can honestly say that my local club (attracting a capacity 11,000 every
game) can generate more vocal support than sometimes a full house at Anfield. This is
especially sad considering the mighty support experienced at Anfield in the 60'ies, 70'ies
and 80'ies.
But, YES, I'm definitely in favour of an increase to the proposed 55 000 stadium!
Craig Slater
I think that a 55,000 seater stadium is not much of an improvment on our current
capacity and if we do move it should be for more than 10,000 seats. It must be a stadium
of around 70,000 or one with the possibility of extending to around this amount in the
future. A Kop-like stand at the new stadium is essential to give the place a personality
which many modern stands lack. Proximity to the pitch is also a concern of mine in the
current designs.
Charlie Jones, Wirral
I think that this is great. I believe that this stadium will give us just as many
things to remember about it as the last. Although we have alot of history in the ground i
still believe that there is more to come. We are living in the past instead of looking to
the future. Any liverpool fan will agree with me unless they are completely mad. Although
i am only 13 i still know what i am talking about. If we stay at Anfield then we aren't
looking towards bigger and better things.I myself wouldnt like the stadium to uplift and
move across the other side of Liverpool but we are only moving across a field. Stanley
Park here we come!
Dez Baldwin
I've been a reds fan for nearly 30 years and I love Anfield therefore there will be
a few memories there for me, but I believe the way forward is a new stadium that will hold
over 50'000 people and Stanley park is the ideal home for the mighty reds.
Joseph Bartolo of Malta
I as a reds supporter, wish with all that i am, the very best for our great team.
Its a great shame that we can't expaned our present stadium, but i am totally in favour,
in having such a wonderful stadium as proposed by the architect and the impresionist
showing the outside as well as the inside of this great monument to not english football
alone but to world football as a whole. I am behind you all the way and i sincerily hope
all the supporters feel the same way as i do.
Keep up the great work.

A new Stadium is an absolute MUST if Liverpool FC is to move forward into the 20th
Century. The artists impressions look magnificent, and if we can get permission to build
it on Stanley Park it will mean that our heritage and traditions as fans will remain
intact with regards to meeting in the same pubs and walking up to the ground with our
mates as we've been doing for years. Anfield itself has changed so much over the years
that it is so longer the same Stadium it was 30 years ago, I mean the Kop has completely
gone for a start! It's not even a Stadium as such, it is more of a montage of 4 different
grandstands pushed together! So moving around the corner and being improved and renovated
will be no hardship. We Must have our 70,000 seater - with possibilities to expand to 90!
- Liverpool deserves a Stadium befitting of our great team, our great fans and our great
history.
Besides anything, getting a ticket will be a damn site easier, and if you thought
the noise at the Roma game was big, imagine what another 25,000 roaring Kopites on top of
that would have sounded like...!

We should move now,to build a better stadium,a new move will be better, in a long
run,to compete with the best in Europe and in the World,and it will be great for our fans.
Paul Downing
A new stadium of 70,000+ is the way forward for the club. It will give the team the
opportunity to compete with the best in the world as well as allow development for the
Everton/Anfield area. This seems to be a factor when purpose built stadiums are built, for
example, the Reebok Stadium,although a smaller stadium, has generated great revenue and
prosperity in the Horwich area. A new stadium will draw in more revenue for the Reds,
allow more supporters to obtain season tickets, and allow more supporters to see the Reds
on a regular basis.
I hope Liverpool do not decide to develop the main stand. I feel this would be
short sighted and only a short term solution. If you want to compete with the best then
you have to build the best. I love Anfield and have shared some great moments over the
years but it's time to look forward.Liverpool are club watched and loved throughout the
world and should have the best stadium possible!! Man Utd and Arsenal believe this for
their fans!!
Chris Wright
I've been supporting Liverpool Football Club for over 15 years now and I see no
reason why we should move from Anfield. This is our holy grail and should continue to be
well into the future and beyond. I believe increasing the capacity to over 50,000 will
attract more fans who love this great club. It will add that bit more to the atmosphere
and of course the noise. Who cares about competing with the likes of Manchester United
anyway. The noise level inside Anfield easily beats any other team, not forgetting our
football!!
Richard Lobb
I feel that Liverpool are coming back to their best as we have known them in the
past. This means that they are up there, competing for the worlds best players and Europes
best trophies with teams such as Real Madrid, Roma, Barcelona and Bayern Munich abroad,
and of course Manchester United at home and abroad. The smallest of these clubs stadiums
is Man Utd at a capacity of 67,000. If Liverpool wants to foot it with these clubs (as
they are) and want to continue to, I feel that a new stadium is a necessity. Building add
ons to Anfield is short sighted and while it would keep Liverpool "at home"
there is only a certain amount of reconstruction that could be done to the ground before
it got to its capacity size. This would be less than 60,000, by no means a large stadium
by world standards. Would it not be better to start afresh. A new stadium, a new era in
Liverpool football and a future that is looking forward and not reminiscing on the past,
however great it may have been. People want to watch a good team. Build a new stadium and
you will have 70,000 Liverpool supporters paying to cheer their boys to victory. Stay at
Anfield and have 45,000 doing that while a further 25,000 potentials watch from the pub or
at home.

The stadium looks magnificent although their is some concern over the distance
between the pitch and the beginning of the stands i would suggest a rethink over this
situation so the fans are closer to the action, also i would like to see a "KOP"
stand of one tier to create a real atmosphere, then the stadium would really be
world-class and the atmosphere created would really show that liverpool fans still have it
in them to regain the old atmosphere, just like the old spion kop fans.
James Kearney
Liverpool's revenues would be boosted, and thus we could buy better players, afford
bigger salaries and so on. The new stadium would also be a strong 'pull' factor, for those
world class players who might otherwise be snapped up by Arsenal or Man UTD. It would also
provide jobs for local contractors, transport specialists- and reinvigorate an area of
Liverpool that should (but doesn't)qualify for EC Priority funding; as well as improving
the prestige of Liverpool at a European and International sporting level.
The stadium must be built. As for any sentimentality in regard to moving - didn't
Liverpool begin by playing at Goodison?
