I may have missed something here but what are the temporary structures going up on the land near to the Albert? They look as though they're gonna be there a while as the brickies are working on walls etc by them. Hospitality for next season maybe?

Do we know how many new season tickets will be created out of the 13,000 new seats? Cheers

I'm not getting to excited about the removal of seats just yet as I think it's just the club getting rid of the Warrior logo's and replacing them with NB logo's. Also, I thought it was the last 3 rows of the mainstand that where meant to be getting removed as part of the redevelopment?

I sit quite close to that picture. Its definitely not a logo change as they just change the seat colour. I wonder if they are putting some padded seats in for the corporates. There are quite a few of those near to the exit to the main stand lounges. I think some longstanding season ticket holders got kicked out of their seats in that area a couple of years ago to make way for them.

My guess is not alot as the entire middle and majority of the upper tier is going to corporate/sponsors/match officials the lower will be given back to those who had tickets in the current main stand, the rest (if any) will be given to members.

A mate of mine, Jerry, got booted into the lower centenary after nearly 35 years of being in the same seat in the main stand because of sponsorship demands.

Doubt they'd do that just for 1 season, more likely it's to make space for some sort of scaffold while they remove sections of the existing roof over the summer.

Didn't get any pics because my phone was dead, but down there yesterday afternoon and they've started removing large pieces of the existing cladding on the back of the stand revealing the actual structure.  Presumably in prep for some sort of knock thru or something ?

Looking back to page one of this thread, we seem to be happily into phase 6 of the project which should be completed by the end of August(ish)

Bit harsh, I see your point but it's like Rail Engineering Works on the day you've booked to travel. I'm sure they're necessary but it doesn't make it any less annoying or stop you venting your frustrating, especially if you've travelled a long way

Not at all. The club is making ground on trying to keep up with other clubs who we plan to compete with. Seeing a "construction site more than a football pitch" is part of that process. Me? I find it incredibly exciting and every time I went to Anfield last season I'd have a look at the progress being made. That, along with the football pitch side of things, makes it a little bit more exciting than going anyway. Your analogy is all wrong too. It'd be like booking train tickets for a day you already knew rail engineering works were happening. You can't complain, you already knew it was happening!

I'm with you pal I'm constantly checking this thread for updates, I've been waiting an almighty long time for this!

I was just saying that if you booked your tickets a year in advance for something when it was all ok and then when it's on the horizon and you find out that something is majorly disrupting your trip it'd be quite annoying. Now if this person only booked a few months ago then it's completely their own fault for not checking and its hard to have sympathy.

Still I'm sure there's plenty to see at Anfield for a newbie so should be a great trip anyway
