Coronavirus and the impact on football

[Insidious]

That's super unfair. We'll have but 4% of the fans we normally do but City will have upwards of 90.

City have fans?!?!

Good to see fans getting back into the grounds,that's what football's about.

Anfield’s new capacity will be 61,015, with summer 2023 the aim for completion

Really pleased that the club are pressing ahead with these stunning plans despite Covid. I feared the worst. This will not only allow more die hard fans tickets but will also make the ground far more imposing - balancing up with the main stand. Can’t wait.

Looks amazing! A bit annoyed it'll take so long - iirc work was supposed to start this year, but the damn pandemic got in the way. Looks very nice. A capacity of 61k is far more befitting of a club like LFC. Wonder how big Anfield could realistically get without a major infrastructure overhaul? I'd wager not much more than the planned 61k but you never know...

Yep - this would take us the to absolute limit. Exposes the joke that is Liverpool city council. Nearest train station is 1.3 miles away (over 2 Kilometres) at Sandhills - that's a 30 minute walk away without a crowd!!! Also this station is borderline useless for many fans who would need to get to Lime Street @ 2 miles ( well over 3 kilometres) or - god forbid - wait to squeeze onto a bus to get somewhere else. Most end up walking home or miles to find a cab or their parked car.

The stadium has only been there since 1884..

ONLY 1884? so before cars were invented???

Anyway just knock a few rows of houses down on the other side and extend further in future. People will have move out of their house if they like it or NOT (joke)
