Reds to begin stadium work in May


Liverpool will start the development of their new stadium in Stanley Park in May after plans were agreed at a meeting held over the weekend.
Reds new owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, along with chief executive Rick Parry, met key figures from Liverpool City Council, who approved the plan.

But the news ends any possibility of a new joint stadium with Everton.

It is hoped that once tenders have gone out, construction will start in July and be finished by the end of 2008.


As easy as that.

Makes your blood boil, does it not !

You will never see a labour government or any council in the Merseyside area calling a public enquiry into or objecting to anything that will benefit Liverpool FC. FACT.

I think we realise that, doesn't make it any easier to cope with the crap that we have had to endure for the last 10 bloody years

Beggars belief really, why can't we please have Falmer

Even harder to stomach when they're building a 60,000 seat arena smack bang in the middle of the city, when they've got a perfectly good (albeit slightly smaller than they'd like for profit purposes) one already.



It's getting to the stage where teams that built new stadiums in the nineties (Middlesbrough, Millwall, Scunny, Walsall etc) will decide they're looking a bit dated and build even newer ones before we so much as lay the first stone on Falmer...

Makes me wanna get "cryogenically" frozen, to be thawed out in 2070 when the stadium is finally built

I'll just have to until that technology is available

And no interfering neighbouring councils...they'd be going through the same shit we are if they tried to build at the East Brighton near Falmer site - although the Scousers wouldn't put up with LDC in the way we have...

and newcastle are going to rebuild there stadium or something, which can't have been easy to get permission for seeing as how it is in a built up area

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i heard the new guys were so impressed by the Kop that they're modifying the designs to create a "new" kop

 

[Storer68]

Hmmmmmmm - that looks like an oustanding area of natural beauty to me........ and look!, there's a nice BIG shiny new football ground slap bang in side it

They have a council that actually gives a f***. How is it that you have a CITY with one club dedicated to it yet the council dont back it?? How is it that this crowd are even still in power

Where are all the Everton-supporting NIMBYs?

I'd be well unhappy if I was one of them.

OUR city council is totally behind it. It's Lewes District Council that's against it, the f***ing wankers

Then they need a visit. Find out where they live and take DIRECT action.
