Anfield and Kirkby

I remember watching an England game played at Anfield on the telly when they were doing Wembley. Gosh it was dreary in terms of atmosphere.

I went to one. It was weird.

Not hosting England games is only a loss to players of the national teams that might have been involved.

Yeah, good memory!

shout out to @Klopptimist and @RedJedi on the 3yr anniversary of my visit to Anfield. What great memories. Thanks for the bucket list moment fellas, Iā€™ll cherish that day until my last.

Hope to do it again someday.

Gives the pitch the summer off.

Wouldnā€™t surprise me if the Everton pitch is still a harbour come 2028.

What is opinion about building a New Anfield at the present site (if possible) or on a different location? Even after the ongoing extension, Anfield will be dwarfed by some of the largest stadiums in Europe:

Barcelona: 99354
Dortmund: 81359
Madrid: 81044
Milan: 78275
Bayern: 75000
United: 74879

A 75-80K capacity stadium will allow more fans. I think we have a huge waiting list for season ticket. The boost to our revenues (match day and other off-season events) will go a long in fighting the oil-fuelled clubs. Considering that we have moved from Melwood for the longterm and greater good, do you think itā€™s worth considering.

We are just in the process of finishing the second part of our Anfield developmentā€¦

I donā€™t think that question will be asked for a while, could be a good few decades even.

Thereā€™s a sweet spot and itā€™s likely to be between 65k-70k, no higher.

Thing is first 3 years of Klopp you could still access tickets relatively comfortably if you knew when to do so and weā€™re flexible.

I have no doubt it would have been the case last season when we dropped off due to injuries, one or two seasons of that and demand drops I think you also risk losing the atmosphere if you go too high. I think 65-70k is enough. Those stadiums mentioned are rarely filled anyhow even when successful.

Itā€™s coming along nicely.

It certainly is. Weā€™ve been checking progress each time we go to the game. I canā€™t wait to see the difference at our first home game. :+1::nerd_face:
