It's that money we need unfortunately

if they redevelop anfield to 60,000 that`ll be good enough

Depends what corporate facilities are built in - that's where the money is

We also need the owners to stump up the cash - I can't see it happening for a couple more years yet

i dont think it makes any difference anyway, the likes of city and chelsea could blow us out of the water even if we had a 100,000 seat whopperdome.
i think i read somewhere that citys owners are worth 180 billion or something f**king crazy like that. city and chelsea have both spent a billion on their teams in their respective abramovitch and sheik era`s.

With FFP rules the playing field will be level a bit more if we can increase our match day revenue hence why Chelsea want to build a new stadium

those FFP rules are supposed to be in now and chelsea are on the verge of spending nearly £80m on hazard and hulk and apparently they have more business in mind as well.

They will have 3 years to balance it all out.

FFP rules are scheduled to begin at the start of the 2013/2014 window (or so I have read).

what gets me that over the years there have been plans on how to make stadium into a 90,000 one and we would only need to knock down one row of homes and that was in 1995.

lets face it we can pay 15mil for one player so why we did not buy the homes of years ago. i know we now own a lot of the homes around the streets now and i am sure someone could come up with a new plan.

Liverpool council can CPO them if they wanted to.
They did it in Edge Lane

not only edge lane mate they`ve used them all over the city including everton and anfield as well, i`m against CPO`s but the council used them to knock down hundreds and hundreds of houses behind the spion kop. that area between walton breck road (the road that the kop backs onto) and robson street is now flattened, it used to be full of streets (herschell street, granton road, hartnup street etc) and boozers but now they are all gone. never mind hundreds there must have been thousands of houses in that area.
as i said i`m against CPO`s but it seems odd to issue them and flatten thousands of houses very near the ground but not to issue them to the ones next to the ground.

there still must be the old plans from 1995 about, none on the web but in 1995 that was still new but i am a bit shock that no one dug them up and posted them.
never forget one trip up there when a old guy in one of the homes was saying that they will never take his house...two secs later his wife said for 300.000k she would shoot her husband and move out lol

Would love us to stay at Anfield (especially if we could get it up to 60,000)

The soulless parry bowl looks dreadful. Nothing worse than the generic bowl. No identity. Arsenal may have state of the art facilities but i would hate to have their stadium. Wembley is another god awful stadium.

I thought Wembley was brilliant.

Amazing inside it and it was bouncing for the semi.

Didnt get a ticket for the final so cant comment on atmosphere.

at a semi final the atmosphere is brilliant no matter where it`s held, and going down to wembley to watch liverpool in a final (no semi`s at wembley in those days) was special even when the place was a concrete dump that had seen better days. but one off visits to the national stadium arent really the issue.
the national stadium has nothing to do with our identity, it doesnt define who we are as a club or where we come from.
anfield is not only a huge part of our identity it`s actually our raison d`etre. if anfield didnt exist neither would this club, unlike 99.9% of other clubs around the world who formed and then looked for somewhere to play and call home john houlding had a ground but no team, so he created a team to play at his ground.
no anfield = no LFC

[Ben Patrick]

Sorry just to clarify, i think Wembley stadium itself is brilliant.

I mentioned that atmosphere as it's been described as one of the new stadiums that are soul less.
What i meant is our supporters made the atmosphere class.

IF we had to move i am sure we would have any stadium bouncing mate.

I am not disagreeing about Anfield being our home.

If we can extend it and sort out the corporate boxes then i will be made up.

If we cant though and the only option is to move then we have to think about the future and moving forward.

Our fans in any stadium will still generate better a better atmosphere than any others.

I hate wembley
Over-rated, over-priced, over-used
Semi finals should NEVER be played there
Money grabbing, rip off, hypocritical cretins from the FA
Im tempted to say I will never go back there

Totally agree about semi's there is no way they should be played there.

Also the surrounding area is an absolute dive, i cant believe it wasnt regenerated when the new Wembley was built.

I used to work around the surrounding area of Wembley, compared to other parts of London it isn't that bad.
