Personally don't think it'll ever hit that number

There's always a lot of unused corporate in main stand and there's segregation between home and away fans

I think there's 500 ish more to come from the corner being filled in and the disabled seats at the back - I think.... The away wheelchair section is moving to the back too and the front being filled in with more seats but I could be wrong

I'd be amazed if we officially hit 61k though

The official capacity may well be over 61k but as you say it'll never actually quite hit that number on a matchday due to segregation etc

What's the reason behind us not finishing off that little corner bit of the lower tier Anfield Road end?

Ban the Manc c*nts until they sort their vile c*nt fans out and have a 100% home crowd. That'd do it.

Is there any further news on the fan zone which was supposedly opening underneath the stand?

I spent hours looking for ours! Unfortunately I wont be at another game before the end of the season and it's closed other than match days. Hopefully it'll be open before the end of the season. I wanted to take the kids on the tour but I'd like them to go when the pitch is looking green.

He wasn't perfect, he made mistakes. But he was genuine. He had the best interests of the club at heart, and gave us a plethora of successful teams that we should have been thankful for.

Bloody hell that takes me back some years and new profile on here! Oddly familiar situation we find ourselves in today - we've been blessed with some awesome human beings managing this club.

I love that on Skyscraper city they’re hour by hour reporting on tiny shifts in cladding and on here we’re reporting shit that happened half a year ago. I prefer us.

Let’s just imagine that the current ground was sitting  on a footprint which was relatively unrestricted in terms of further expansion.
If we were to repeat a MS on the SKD and a AR type single tier replacing the kop.
Anyone have a clue what capacity would be then?
Would look amazing but would have thought that capacity would not improve massively given the upgrade would be to modern standards.
I’m not dismissing the fact in cannot happen. I’m just bored really and a little curious.


You can’t do that exactly because the lower tier of each was retained with new tiers above. The SKD has already had that treatment, turning the Kemlyn Road into the lower centenary with a new tier above so you’d either knock down the upper and do a larger version or build new from scratch.

But… if you ignore all the realities and could match the stands you’d have Main and SKD around 20,000 each and Anny Road and Kop at 16,000 each. So 72,000. It would be great to try and make the Kop the biggest stand again but that would only be possible with proper standing like the Yellow Wall which could add another 7-8,000.

Shows how much attention I pay considering I've been in Turnstile M for most games this season.. I assumed as I hadn't noticed it and that section was fenced off on Thursday night it was new..
