Had a quick look and not sure if this is the right place , is it the case that the paddock is being rearranged to run on the same line as the main stand . Looking at tbe pics there is no ledge on row one of then main stand like now so presuming it's going . Bit of a nuisance as I have my ST on row one and it's great having someone in front a lot lower , one other thing where do we reckon the directors box will move too

Directors Box is going to the back of the first tier, judging by the plans.  Looks like the paddock is going and entrance will be from the back of the tier instead.

The lower tier will be remodelled and have 44 rows over three floors. The Directors will be located in the lower tier and their VIP suite is on the third floor.

I've got four questions, sorry if they've been answered already:

1)  Will the top-most seats have restricted views of the other side of the pitch?  The angle seems pretty steep to get good views of the sideline at the far side of the grass.

2)  The "Future Expansion Space".  Any ideas what purposes this is likely to have in the future or is it simply just there 'in case'?

3)  Is there going to be a TV camera position at the top of the stand?

4)  What are the numbers where it says "Top Of Roof" and "Top Of Parapet"?  Heights in feet?  Metres seems too huge.

The numbers are elevation in metres. Ie height above sea level.

I haven't got the site line drawing to hand but the rear seats will see the whole pitch.

I believe the above drawing is showing you'll be able to see 18 metres high on the far touch line. So you won't see the upper centenary. If you have ever see the view from the top of the North Stand at Old Trafford you will get the idea.

It's the 18 metre high ball line - all seats have to have to have a view of a ball 18 metres above the pitch.

4)  What are the numbers where it says "Top Of Roof" and "Top Of Parapet"?  Heights in feet?  Metres seems too huge.

The height is in metres as stated above.  The ground level outside is +57.5m so the overall height is 45 metres or thereabouts.

Is that necessary?  Charlie Adam left years ago now.

Havent looked in detail at the new main stand. From just glancing through I take it they are keeping the basics of the main stand as it is now and just building behind it? Think city are currently doing the same at the Eithad.
So does it mean we wont have big boards next to the pitch with pictures of the new stand on?  Think they days are gone now, remember the Anfield Road end getting done with all them boards up and im sure when Highbury had work done they had their boards with pictures of the fans in the stands.

Nah, there won't be any in season closing of the stand during construction so nothing like that.

A few new pics here...

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/new-pictures-show-latest-stage-9053842

Thanks for that.  The timeline below the main article showing the history of the Stadium redevelopment/move since 2000 is very interesting and should be read by everyone questioning the current redevelopment plans.  The club's indecisiveness on this issue over almost a decade and a half is a major reason why we've been left behind the way we have.  I'd say we've almost paid out as much in Architects fees over the last 15 years as we have in transfer fees.  When you think about it we were lucky to get planning permission to redevelop the ground at all.

On question 3 it looks from the final design that the tv gantry will be between the middle and top tier.

With corporate seats in the lower tier, corporate in the entire middle tier and tv/commentary box in the upper I wouldn't be at all surprised if the amount of general admission seats in the new stand is roughly the same as what it is now! I don't know why they cant put commentary/media seats in the middle tier and leave the entire upper tier for general admission!

Written press is 125 seats in the Lower tier central, tv commentators are 60 max in the upper tier. The upper tier has 7,500 general admission seats so 60 commentators aren't going to make a lot of difference.

The more pictures that get posted the more it strikes me how far away from the pitch these new seats are going to be.  Is there somewhere that sows this and does anyone know if the maximum distance will be comparable with any other grounds?  Just from looking at the picture above it appears that the upper tier seats will be twice as far from the pitch as in the Upper Centenary.

To counteract this we're going to sign taller players.
