Changing the whole front part of the roof less than a year on?

:joy:

Probably better than having the rainwater pour down upon your fanā€™s heads, like at Old Crapford.

Hopefully we donā€™t have to do it every year.

4 mins in re. further expansion of Anfield - no plans.

Thatā€™s logical enough. Letā€™s first see how the tickets sell in the new manager era before envisaging a new expansion.

Cant ever imagine it not being sold out to be honest.

I canā€™t either, but in fsgā€™s shoes, Iā€™d surely wait too before thinking about a new expansion. After all, we havenā€™t even had a full season yet with the new stadium size.

Yep, makes senseā€¦but itā€™s not a done deal at this capacity. The club have been buying up properties as they become available around the Kop. Essentially they wonā€™t be doing an aggressive compulsory acquisition approach and will just keep taking up properties as they come upā€¦i guess until such time that they (or any future owners) want to take action.

Yeah, I think with the main part with two stands (apart from the around Anfield part, which can still be developed with time) being accomplished, now it can be counter productive to start talking openly about future expansions, since thereā€™s many hurdles to solve if there would be one.

So itā€™s an expected answer and it doesnā€™t mean that something wonā€™t happen in the future.

Is further expansion possible? I read an article (long time ago) that said roads or housing make expansion very difficult (and costly) on the other sides.

I think that is why they are looking at buying housing as it becomes available. The Walton Breck Road, that runs behind the Kop, is a bit trickier as it is an arterial route. I suppose a tunnel couldnā€™t be built but thatā€™s not a trivial big of engineering.

In Kloppā€™s season it was very easy to get resell tickets, no chance nowadays it feels.
