ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Surely the big iron structure is just there temporarily ? No way would you build a new stand and leave that there. Its like they aimed to rebuild the main stand at Goodison.

RS saying it is part of the roof structure on the Annie road, and until/if they rebuild that end, it will always be there.

 

[Yorkie]

Anyone know if they're gonna be expanding Anfield? Not heard anything on the radio all bloody day...

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

what gets me is they do that, then build vertically

so they've essentially [Poor language removed] anfield over for no good reason

to be fair there was very limited space behind the stand originally & to go up you need to go back as well, there was a row of houses and basically only a tiny space between them & the old stand.
They definitely let an area go to the dogs though during the whole process which is disgraceful.

That new stand of Liverpool's: will it be seen much given that they've always had the cameras on that side of the ground? I'd imagine if you'd invested so much into the redevelopment you'd want the world of football to see the results. And i cant imagine them switching over to the Kemlyn Rd side of the ground - you can imagine that lot invoking Shankly and all the other demons they hold dear to bring a plague of locusts down on dem Yanks MkII.

Cameras used to be on other side in his day didn't they ? Not sure when the Kemlyn Rd was rebuilt ? 70's ? they probably switched sides then.

Oh, I didn't know that.

It'll disorient them anyway....and it'll be dem yanks MKII fault...and they'll need to burn some stars and stripes just to be on the safe side.

Fans on the Kop stood through sunshine, rain, wind and snow until 1928, when a roof was built and the terrace was expanded to accommodate no fewer than 30,000 supporters. The new stand was officially opened before the first match of the season against Bury and a huge flag was unfurled at the Kop end before kick-off - a pre-match tradition which has continued down the decades.

Anfield remained relatively unchanged for the next 30 years or so - floodlights were erected in 1957 and a record attendance of 61,905 was recorded a year later for a match against Wolves - before the glorious Bill Shankly era coincided with new stands going up along the Kemlyn Road (1963) and Anfield Road (1965) sides of the ground.

The Duke of Kent opened the rebuilt £600,000 Main Stand in 1973 and the royal visitor earned polite applause despite scoring a sartorial own goal.

The ECHO reported: “He was dressed in a lounge suit and wearing a blue and white shirt - the colours of Everton.”

probably 73 when the cameras switched sides.


wtf is this big flag claim though, they may have done it in 1928 but there's no way that they've been doing it ever since.

There was a bloke in his 50's in front of me at the shop before proudly wearing their top and buying the Sun. In fact the last time I seen anyone reading it was an old bloke in the pub with their top on. How thick must you have to be.....

pretty thick to support them in first place, the rest is just more confirmation

her r/s uncle when we went away to 1 of those big houses asked me to get it for him every morning... I refused point blank, he claimed the typeface is easier on his eyes.

 

[SailorBlue]

Guess what the main piece of news is on the local BBC news this evening?

 

[Jacob]

Just saw a preview clip of whats coming on NWtonight....their new monstrosity obviously to the fore. Skits apart, that outside staircase to the side looks dangerous...be awful in the Winter and uncovered

 

[Donald Twain]

It's reaching biblical proportions this stand malarkey!

 

[jaycee]

They're playing Leicester FFS, utter bellends

Haaaaahahahahaha the typeface, I'll add that to my excuse list.

It's mad, I'm not overly fond of these groups that are getting the sun banned from every shop in the city through putting pressure on shopkeepers ( a different discussion, really) but I'd never even look at the rag let alone buy it. I know Scousers (not through choice, through work) who still buy it daily who have given me all the excuses, 'it's not for me' etc but ffs, the typeface is the best one yet.

Blamed it on cataracts, I said "he won us the league you know"

he seemed to manage fine with everyone elses other papers the whole week like, think he tried every 1 of us that went the shop & we all refused, he went down there with me 1 day & when he was buying it I swear the shopkeeper game him a strange look when hearing his accent as he was paying, I was so convinced at the time that I said "I know mate .. scouser and he's buying that, it's a disgrace."

he's never been the same since they knocked the Copplehouse down

Yes think so, a new stand. Difficult to tell. All the media talk about is about how they've pretty much destroyed the area around the stadium so they can do what they please.
