Ha. We already announced they were going up by 2% in the spring did we not?

how the fuck do they get those massive cranes inside anfield? I donât remember seeing an entry point for those bases to come through. I know the big cranes come in pieces and get assembled by smaller crane, but wow those are big.
Trucks, vans and materials got in through gates in the corner between the Kop and King Kenny stand.
Then certain parts were put together once on the pitch (on a platform to protect the surface as much as possible, even if itâs been said that they will relay the whole ground once itâs done).
The second part of the roof will be lifted/removed through a combination of those cranes inside and one big one outside the King Kenny stand.
believe it or not, I work with cranes. I was more curious to know where the entry was to fit the crawler cranes inside the stadium. theyâre a lot of work to set up and break down, but they do what nothing else can. is that the SW corner of the stadium? I donât think I walked around that side of it.
Yeah, that would be the southwest corner. Thereâs a big gate that you donât really see from our usual angles during games inside or from outside. But all the stuff got in through those gates.
wowâŚI just did a full Google-view walk around the stadium and that entrance is well-hidden. I think I know where it is though. thanks!

ÂŁ1.27 a game? For that kind of money I definitely want a quadruple next season.

Love them or hate them what FSG have done to Anfield so far is great! It looks great - if a little unbalanced now

Yup only the hard of thinking still think we should have left Anfield.
Yes we could sell more tickets but these new grounds they just feel souless at times.

I thought/heard/read that Melwood ground would be converted into some social housing project.
I really donât know why anyone would hate them? Apart from a cohort of twitter numpties, of whom nine out of ten are probably mancs or Everton fans on the wind-up, any sensible person will see that they have been excellent custodians of this club.
The enhancement work on the stadium (and the new training center) is their long-term legacy for us, and they have done a great job with that.

Well, to build a new Anfield or a different stadium, it doesnât mean we would have a souless bowl like the Emirates or Allianz in Munich. Depends on the owners, whatâs even possible to do in Stanley Park or wherever and how much influence to keep it original there would be.
Have to say that Spurs (even if it cost a bomb) have done a good job and also some other clubs. To get a place with soul, other than how it looks, it also needs time, new memories, etc. Itâs not easy to have that feeling from day 1 if a stadium is brand new.
When you look at Anfield itself, all stands will have changed a lot over years and decades. The big principles are still there, itâs not a bowl, there are no filled corners. We can say that this is our home since forever, even if almost everything has changed.
Could still happen at some point in the future, maybe when weâre not here anymore. Should be pretty easy to build a very similar ground, but somewhere where itâs possible, with the freedom to have it as big as we want, etc.
But yeah, for now and a good while still, itâs good that we took Anfield to a new age and the rest of the infrastructure as well.
Iâm only sorry that when we built the last two stands, there was either no European football at all (16/17) or no CL football (23/24).
It will be nice, canât wait to go on my new tour when itâs all completed.
