Holding onto a stadium for the sake of holding on is a losing game. Eventually, whether in 10, 25, 50,100 years, at some point the bullet will need to be bit or it will cease to be able to function.

The stadium is absolutely hemmed in by Stanley and Vulture streets. Now maybe an argument could be made that the stadium doesn’t need to be resized and merely upgraded in amenities. I don’t know.

But I think building a new stadium with excellent transport links and room to grow if needed makes a lot of sense.

We would have had to move if we didn’t do that buying up of houses around Anfield in the 80s/90s.

We will within several decades no doubt.

I’m not sure that the crowds coming in to Gabba for cricket would warrant a new stadium. Just renovate the original.

Even during the age of Lara, Richardson, Walsh, Ambrose, he was my favorite. Skill, style, and inconsistency he had in equal measures.

Tom Banton finishes the day 344 not out for Somerset, surpassing the record score for the county. Should really have had more opportunities on the international stage imo. James Rew also hit 152, somebody who I think will play for England in the near future.
