North Stand Construction Discussion

If anyone is interested? Off topic. I accept it’s the Anfield Road stand and not the KOP, but how not to build a stand behind the goal. Note the positioning of the seating in the corner of the away end in the upper tier overlooking the Liverpool fans in the main stand and not facing the pitch.

Just like we did at Maine Road, build stupid blocks of seats anywhere just to create income.

I understand the tradition of that stadium but a new build would have been far better long term, they have spent a fortune on a stadium that already looks outdated.

They didn’t spend a lot of it, they just fiddled it through their accounts to pass ffp

The extensions to the two sides of the stadium are sticking plasters. They will probably have to look at a new stadium in another 50 years, what land plots will be available by then who knows.

It's mad, so old fashioned.

When you go on other footy sites no nowts allways bang on about "soul less bowls" in relation to modern stadiums.

They have no understanding of attending games and comparing old terraces that were cheap as chips to a modern ground where you pay a fortune and should expect an unhindered view of what you are watching.

Those views in the corner are a disgrace on a new build and should never have got through planning!

The decision to revamp clanfield will come back to haunt them in the future.

They'll end up just like the rags, whingeing about the state of their ground and how the owners haven't done anything properly to it other than add seats, whilst their neighbours have a new ground that gets selected as the preferred venue in the city. I mean, that's already happening with the euros.

That has not been my experience of it, but it is highly likely and previously I said that was probably it.

Incidentally, 2 of the the other applications decided at the committee meeting that day had their decisions posted (hadn't looked at the rest). The 3 other related applications to this one also have decisions posted, but, they were dealt under delegated process.

Not that it changes anything of course, it has full approval for almost all of it, and those that need to know will know what they need to.

The date of the committee, next one up is 3rd week in October, that the final application (the 3 gable screens) goes to really should be posted at least a week in advance, and almost regularly is. The agenda gets posted elsewhere. That's more what I've been keeping an eye on.

No decision issued on the main application because they need to complete the S106 Agreement first. The legals on that had probably started prior to committee and the HoTs in the committee report only suggested 4 obligations so it shouldn't take a long time to get that sorted. 3 months is the usual timescale for a more straightforward S106, but it can often take a month just to get the bloody thing signed these days, waiting on the right people being in the right place to do so! I would imagine the decision notice will be issued by mid-November if not before.

That's usually more of a commencement issue, rather than an approval one though is it not?. I.e approvals can be issued without it in place (but conditioned), but works can't start until it is agreed.

As an aside, the works are formally noted as having started. Through Building Control, so a commencement notice will have been given. And no, not just the enabling works, the description covers the whole lot (ref.23/00334). So as building control see it, the whole development has indeed started. The notice was lodged May 26th, for a June start.

While with planning approvals, they have split it into 5 applications, for warrant they are treating it as one build (no doubt staged). All of which is fairly common.

They’re already putting out bullshit reasons about the pitch not being big enough as to why they haven’t got Euros matches, to make their cult following feel better about themselves.
The real reason is that Anfield is a dump and Everton’s new ground once built will shit all over it.

Anfield will never get selected for England games due to the constant booing of the national anthem and the hatred of England and the Royal Family. (I'm not a royalist)

I bet the vast majority of the coach wrecking cunts will still be watching the England games at home, in venues across the city centre or in a fan park in the city centre.

The pitch isn't big enough now. That is the reason they don't ever get them these days.

To build a world class stadium nowadays costs well in the £1b plus region, they haven't got anything like that kind of money ! We're developing roughly one third of our stadium if you include the extra facilities which is costing at least £350m !! Liverpool have in reality added 2 extra tiers to old stands from the 1990's and I'm sure the cost is the region of about £400m plus add ons for a new contractor to finish off Anfield Road ! Value for money it ain't ! When I look at Anfield now it reminds me of the type of stadium lower to middle class sides stadiums in Europe in a nut shell it is a shit hole !

No mate, you can't get a decision notice until you've got the legal agreement signed. Otherwise there'd be no obligation for you to sign up to it, you'd have your planning permission and be off into the sunset! The committee have resolved to grant planning permission subject to the completion of the S106 Agreement so the Council have delegated authority to issue a permission once that's completed.
