You just know that it going to end up like this (if it gets that far)

So, the Slave Owners Dock (SOD) stadium will surely make the cut in April and England will win the bid...

And the most Everton thing will be that 2028 comes around and its still not built

Yep.

But with the rebuild of the ARE, we had a chance to extend the pitch.

No we didn't, not unless we demolished the entire stand, which is just nuts

They'd save a fortune on nutrients though.

Anfield's pitch size has counted against it with UEFA rules stating that pitches must have fixed dimensions of 105m by 68m. The Reds' playing surface is just 101m long and cannot be extended due to the closeness of the stands at both the Kop and the Anfield Road end.

We are at 68m wide.

As we are rebuilding the ARE, I think the club "could" have looked at taking out a row or two of the front seats in order to get another 4m of pitch.

But, like I said, extending the under-soil heating might have been the real costly issue.

WhereAngelsPlay · « **Reply #22369 on:** November 17, 2022, 08:34:22 pm »

Would be a waste of money and drop the overall attendance.

And for what, the chance of a couple of friendly internationals and a European Final every 20 years or so? No point, is there.

We should fill in the corners though.

Reduce the attendance for what? The chance to maybe host a UEFA final once every blue moon and be a part of a bid that will fail?

You'd have to relocate all the wheelchair spaces from the front (36 home 24 away) and lose around 500 seats, you're talking about £500k a season in lost revenue.

I like our pitch being a tad smaller, so fuck UEFA rules, and fuck having meaningless International matches at Anfield.

Is right!

Which ground is it that's derelict further up this page?

Could end up like the Nou Mestalla which Valencia started to build back in 2007.

Not likely,they have to return it to its original condition if they can't get finance.

Look, I get it. We don't want a ground which can stage UEFA or FIFA major tournaments.

But, when the club decided to do the ARE, it was a blank canvas. Wheelchair locations could have been moved away from the front row (and inclement weather) to a mezzanine level. There will be lifts in the new upgraded ARE.

Loss of seats, again blank canvas, meant potentially filling in the sides or adding a couple rows to the top. Or maybe changing to Rail seating.

Like I said, blank canvas. I suspect all issues could have been addressed.

I never want to see the corners filled.

I'll have you know they've experienced the highs of many a European night. The crowd roaring and celebrating each goal.

And then when the dog's finished its business they leave Stanley Park and go home muttering something about ifitbeenfercollina...

It would have needed both the Main and Kemlyn Rd Stands extending though to join up with it

Expect a blank DVD to be released after the World Cup and before Christmas, "The 6 week unbeaten run".

They are playing two friendlies in Australia so that could influence the content. Usual caveats apply of course.

It's a stupid rule by UEFA/FIFA, and I struggle to see whether having just a further 2 metres at each end really makes that much difference to the overall playing of the game whatsoever. I'm thinking the rule was brought in to standardise and to cutout gamesmanship by teams narrowing pitches like Stoke did by about 10m so some alehouse fucker can launch a throw-in to the near post. Hasn't hindered any European football at our place ever, and didn't have any adverse affect on matches back in euro 96 either.
