Correct. Anfield falls short of minimum fifa requirements by 4 or 5 yards in pitch length.

He is correct. UEFA say the pitch must be 105m x 68m, but Analfield is short by four metres in length - it's 101m long.

I didn't say that there wasn't corporate demand elsewhere, just that it is generally smaller and lower value in most provincial cities. Villa are the only act in Brum with lots of industry, a large business district and a metropolitan population of over 3million. Basic supply and demand economics normally suggests that increasing supply leads to reduced prices..... not increasing, nor multiplying.... as I said, that will be dependent on the price elasticity of our demand and as you say if this is a whole new market we haven't exploited yet. Which you would've expected to have pushed our current prices at their very limited supply levels. Another illustration of that disparity is the number of exec boxes. They are the top of the corporate offer pyramid and I think BMD is only projected to have 20-22 boxes compared to over 100 at Villa, over 100 at Arsenal and 80 super suites at Spurs (with a whole corporate tiers over several different levels at both London grounds).
I've sampled every lounge, directors box and the boxes at GP aswell as the corporate and some other prem grounds too. The offer at GP is reasonable quality but with limited supply. The example given of the Park end lounges is relatively low end and hardly likely to transfer to £6-9k per seat, presumably there will be several intermediate levels to accommodate that lower end (corporate-lite) demand. It's probably normal for them to try to block push the high end first.

Not crying over anything at all.... are you still crying over the loss of Kirkby?
You don't have to be UEFA employee to know that the primary reason is pitch dimensions. Otherwise, its larger capacity including much larger corporate offer might've meant that it was the first choice.

They have played Euros at Anfield before.They could make a retrospective rule change to allow them to play there.
But they didnt as BMD is a better stadium in a better location.
Something Goodison couldn't offer either.
Aye, they did - 27 years ago. A lot may have changed since then. It's also been widely reported in the media that Analfield is ineligible for hosting EURO games.
So, I suspect it is the primary reason.

It won't have been straight forward as that, but as they are building the new stand something could have been done to make the first few rows retractable or removeable and gain the extra few meters required.

They had a world cup semi-final at Goodison too... which is about as relevant as your point.
The fact remains, Anfield's pitch is no longer compliant with the tournament rules. It seems that nearly everyone else knew that except you.

UEFA would n`t mind changing that to accommodate Analfield.
There was a time when top 4 in Premiership got champions league places until that lot finished fifth. Rules were quickly altered to fit them in.
Well, I do know that they cannot be a level 3 or 4 stadia.
I do know that to host a major European competition fixture (e.g. the Euros) that you have to be elite, so yes I do know.
Or don't you know the rules?
