Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

I'm hoping they can get the stand completed in time for supper... I've already told people there'll be tiers before bedtime.

 

[Jacko1956]

Correct, 2 tiers it is then.

While we debate the pros and cons of the extended north stand and it's final design it's might be of some interest to know that Liverpools extended main stand will have to incorporate about 500 restricted view seats. Apparently at both the kop and Anfield road ends the corner of the new stand has the roof of both those stands that obstructs the view of the pitch from about the far sides corner flags to the penalty boxes. Now that's good planning what ever version we get for the north stand at least we will all be able to see all the pitch!! For the dippers catorgary three games their only charging 9 quid for those seats now there's planning for you.

To be fair those seats won't be restricted forever. Anfield Road end is the next phase so I suspect the view will clear up.

There is something very ugly looking about anfield. Yes the new main stand is impressive in size, but it doesn't link in at all with the kop, which I assume is staying as is whatever other redevelopment takes place. Does anyone know if the new anfield road end is going to link in to the new main stand at the corners? Would seem like a very wasted opportunity if not

It will even if the anfield road stand is redeveloped, as the Kop has no current redevelopment plans at least half that number will still be effected as the new stand hight means the roof of the Koop still restricts the view at that end

Just a foot note: Dippers attendance yesterday was only just over 51k nearly three thousand under new capacity. Seeing their lorded new stand had is grand opening piss poor effort: our lowest attendance in league games since the S S extention is 53600 only 18 hundred below capacity so we're not doing that bad seeing the dippers think there one of the worlds leading clubs. Bring on the N S extention and before somebody asked yes the full capacity of 54300 was available to them yesterday.

I saw the attendace as over 53k today for them.

 

[ultimateharold]

If they're doing Anfield Road does that mean those view from the back are getting sorted. Worst in the league.
