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.

That doesn't even look bad compared to where the side stands meets the stand behind the goal on the right hand side of that first picture. What is going on there?

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.

Not reallly though? But might PM you, purely not to bore anyone else.

Anyway, you could well be right, and that could be the reason. The report put forward to the board did state the applicant had entered into a S106 agreement, back then. So they would have all known at the very least the obligations. I'm not convinced, but will split my guess 3 ways then. It could be just processing/uploading delay. Or, it could be that because so much of the approved material includes the screens, that until that separate application is dealt with the conditions just can't be relevant. Who knows. In real terms though, really doesn't change anything, it is as good as done.

Unless.. The screen application gets refused (or needs a reduction). In which case, condition 2 of the approval and the affected submission parts of it need amended, for the approval to be complete.
 
To put the last point above in simpler terms @supercity88

It is approved subject, to 58 noted conditions. Condition 2 lists the approved drawings and documents. Many of which show the screens. Which are being dealt with under a separate application. If that is refused or requires changes to approve, then the drawings under condition 2 of the main application need to go through an amendment process. Instead of that, and the processing costs and time invilved, you hold off the approval until the screen application is settled.

Compare that monstrosity with the Etihad.

No bending your neck at right angles to watch the play at the other end of the ground.

That's the official line from the FA. In reality we know why Anfield will never get an England international match again. Booing the national anthem before an England match hasn't gone down well with the FA and England supporters.

And more importantly do you want international visitors walking the streets of dipper land, what could possibly go wrong!

I‘m guessing the FA and PL have insisted that Liverpool comply with the requirement to install large screens as part of this redevelopment.

Really interesting if true, Liverpool are not allowed the Nike “swoosh” sponsor written in the seats in european games as Nike don’t sponsor Uefa
So they have had to do a smiley face over it which makes it look like a worm!
Never knew that!
I thought that would be one of the main reasons to sponsor a club, for the european games to get your brand out to the whole of europe

They do the same at City with the Puma logo.

I must’ve got in the ground early once and noticed in the empty North Stand they’d jumbled up the seats. What a faff. I mean nobody sees it during the game anyway as the stand is full.

They jumble the seats up instead of putting blue covers over the white seats?
I get in my seat 5/10mins before kick so never knew this
I agree, what a ballache that must be

There’s been that bit under the TV box that just overlooks the Anfield Road stand for years at Liverpool. Very weird design.

Then there’s these ridiculous views at the back of the Kop:
