It’s not even that. It’s safety rails so that at moments when people do go berserk, there isn’t the safety implications of people falling over seating. The sections will remain seated and people will be expected to sit down.
It’s not safe standing or rail seating.
It is however the first step to safe standing being viable… These are the types of seats you implement for that.
I never really got safe standing though, because don’t for Europe you have to be all seating so you gain nothing?
It also provides a very hand rail to hold onto whilst standing… not surprised it is being implemented in areas of the stadium where there seems to be a lot of persistant standing

If we get the rail seating…
I suppose we can expect moments like this then…! 
While these examples demonstrate that it is possible in principle for a stand to “bridge” a road, none replicate the problems associated with Walton Breck Road.
Put simply, the geometry of the WBR in relation to the Kop, and the close proximity of other properties to an expanded Kop, would make the expansion a very difficult and expensive proposition.
For example, a six thousand seat expansion (assuming a continuation of the existing row depth) would create a stand that would permanently shadow The Albert, overhang the North-East elevation of Christ Church and require a bridging span of some 44 metres on the west-north-westerly approach of the road (unless permission is granted for supporting columns on the side / down the centre of the road).
By comparison the widest span on the Parc des Princes underpass is about 20 metres.
A more modest four thousand seat expansion would avoid some of these problems, but at the expense of increasing the bridging span to just over 46 metres!
As someone commented on another forum “Basically, the Kop expansion is either really, really expensive or just phenomenally expensive”.
I don’t think the Kop will ever be extpanded - however it will be strange to see the Kop as the smallest stand in Anfield
New St. James’ Park.
Also had that e mail.
Can I just check. I read that you only need to fill the form in if you are opting out.
Is that right and how others read it.
So in other words if you’re happy for that to happen then just do nothing
Anfield looks so much better now.
That confused me on first sight!
I once had a childish idea that we just build a very similar/same (in main aspects), but improved/bigger version of Anfield on Stanley Park where there is more room. Basically like moving the stadium over there.
Yes, not just the stadium but the surrounds too. Used to be so depressing walking up to the ground past rows of tinned up houses. Totally different vibe now.
Ye the club have done well rejuvenating the area to be fair.
Given its role in the area’s decline I’d say it had an overwhelming moral obligation to do so.
Yeah but “the club”… is anybody at all that was involved with the club helping the area here when the club was harming the area?
How did the club contributed to decline, I’m curious.
Refer to the post about the rows of tinned up houses above.
