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

How Kopites see our new stadium

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Just found that article on the red echo (I won't link it). He suggests that us getting the stadium progressed has been accelerated by the big stand. Ha ha.

Absolutely deluded to think anyone gives a flying F about their stand.

Did anyone see Mr Doyles' latest article?The poor man is going to choke on his bitterness.lol

If that Ian Doyle really believes that them clowns aren't arsed all he needs to do is read the comments section on the Echo website below every article on it that they've published

and if he wasn't arsed he wouldn't have felt the need to publish a whole article on it. If they weren't bothered nobody would be discussing it at all, yet they're all making the effort to post that they're not bothered. If you're not bothered in something you just ignore it, simple.

heads are rolling

One of the biggest reds I know, season ticket holder, is thrilled we are getting a new stadium.

He views it that anything that helps to regenerate OUR city is a positive. Quite a refreshing take tbh.
He spoke about the opportunity for more companies to invest in the area and that this waterfront project will bring more capital and jobs into the area.

So far it has been the out of towners and sub 25 year olds that I have spoken to that are most annoyed.

I will see if there are any opinion shifts as the ground move takes shape.

They've all gone from claiming Moshiri is a fraud with no money to him suddenly being a multi billionaire who should be funding 400 mill up front out his own pocket. Not like them to do a complete 360 on stuff when it suits them.

Laughable as well that the one conclusion they've drawn is that their new stand initiated this. So we'd just been messing around all those decades of looking before and it was complete coincidence we got a new investor on board, no we realised the dream of moving from our home of over 100 years because they put in a few restricted viewing seats in. You honestly couldn't make it up with that lot. Deluded beauts.

The reality is, no matter how it's funded, we will be working towards a waterfront stadium which will instantly become one of the landmarks of the whole city not just the waterfront. They'll be left rotting in the park. Long term they will feel the effects of this without a doubt and that's why they're all fuming.

That new stand must have been the reason why we nearly moved to Kirkby, and were looking at the Kings dock all that time ago.

That is very magnanimous of your chum, Darth.

He is a better man than me......because if that shower were leaving a decaying inner city location for an iconic new home right on the skyline by the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey I would be fuming

But they ain't.....and we are

Good post. Apart from the odd initial concern that it may divert funds from desperately needed services (which after recent announcements it looks like it wont as long as long as we don't default on the loan, which we wouldn't because of Moshiri) no reds I've come across have been overly negative about it nor had "heads falling off" over it.

A bit concerning to me is the number of blues, such as the above post, making disparaging remarks about the area both clubs are currently based in. Suddenly after being proud of our home and heritage for so long there seems to be a lot of snobbery about L4 and the surrounding area flying around, which is a bit upsetting.

Not having a go at people outside the L4 area but many LFC fans are not from Walton/anfield. The amount of Bentleys, jags, merc, BMW and other high end cars leaving the outskirts of Liverpool is ridiculous. Do they care about Walton or Anfield ? No chance, most of them probably vote tory and think lower/middle classes should be butlers and maids.

As true as that may be I'm not sure how it's related to the point on my post you highlighted, chum? It was more about the "Yay we're leaving the RS in that [Poor language removed] area and going to the docks" attitude that a chunk of Blues seems to be adopting, and advertising. There only a park between us and the majority of match going blues are from in or around that area. Seems snobbish and contradictory to our mantra of being a club of the working class people. Just my opinion.

I think a lot of the people in those cars are probably " business men " with no visible means of support and probably don't vote at all mate.

Well, as the person responsible for the "above post" I suppose I should explain to you Gerry that using the term "decaying inner city area" was in fact a euphemism because the RS deliberately turned some of the streets round Anfield into a slum in order to force the remaining residents out to facilitate the Big Stand.

And I bet their fans would rather they were moving to the waterfront rather than staying in the landlocked area with limited room for expansion.

Lest you forget.




Hope this helps.

Although not technically a euphemism it did help, as it would've done if you'd supplied context to the comment. Yours was just the one which caught my eye from a number of references on here and IRL of people disparaging the area as a whole. Happy to retract my "above post" comment.

Are we talking about RS fans or some of our colleagues on GOT
