    What a fucking mess of a 'structure' IF you can call it that..

    How have they duped so many gullible fools? I tell you how. Anfield is synonymous with being one of the greatest stadiums around... And why..? The atmosphere...the fans. So this has been used as a way of getting away with detritus. Architecturally - that is precisely what this is. A car crash of a ground..! They think that using the red brick and cow shed metal is enough to fool people.. Oh look we have stayed faithful to the older style... Erm - you mean CHEAP... CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!

    For heavens sake...just look at it.

    Hang your heads in shame FSG. No way you get away with that monstrosity back across the pond. They did a very good job on Fenway Park imo, that looks quite a thing, a harmonious ensemble, a stadium with a unified dignified presence ... But in L4... OMG..


    No vision - no money - no interest. Just get the most for the least. Buy To Let..

    As the home of the nations most decorated club - it is a shambles. Don’t know any other fans of a major club that would be so quiet and content with it. Clearly the total lack of investment in the area by Liverpool’s joke city council plus the disaster that was H&G has left the local fan base so desperate for anything that they will pretty much accept anything at all.

    As I say - it’s more seats which is good but a huge proportion is for day trippers so it barely dents the ST demand.. The stadium needs to feel like a home. It looks like a dogs dinner and not a good one

    The Greeks were building better stadia 3,000 friggin years ago.

    Apart from the fact that no attempt has been made to actually integrate the design to work more harmoniously with the existing stands - or even a seamless merge between the ARE and New Main stand…. And just look at all the cheap metal. Even the bricks are a cheap facade. Stuck on to the steels to try and un cheapen the look. a what a fail.

    The entire premise is simple…. Build it as cheaply as you can to charge as much you possibly can. No thought to improving the experience for those who can’t even sit straight in the Centenary/SKD or on the Kop. Just use the clubs funds to build a couple of spaces we can market at corporates and milk them dry,

    Yuck. Typical of owners that were looking to sell the minute they felt max value had been attained,,, What a bunch of frauds.

    It has much in common with the Toxteth slums of the 1980's - World capital of Corrugated iron.. I will grant you that.

    This is how you do it.
