Given that the players' entrance is now sponsored by Falken I don't think there will be any naming rights for the rest of the stand.

Is it? Wasn't that just for the one game to announce the partnership?

Certainly not just for one game.

I noticed it at the end of October & Chris Bascombe tweeted a pic in early December.

As said above, they can buy all that secondary branding from the club without the expense of sponsoring a stand.

You're comparing the number of mentions of an entire stadium to the mentions of a stand though. How often do you hear the mention of the name of a stand across from the cameras during televised games? Or in general the name of stands, other than maybe ones like The Kop?


Again, they can buy all that without needing to sponsor a stand for huge amounts.

Maybe when the current shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered expires in 2019, we can see some sort of packaged sponsorship deal where the next shirt sponsors will be paying significantly more for shirt + stand sponsorship?

Just imagine how loud Anfield would be with the Annie Road End revamped. We'd be getting that decibel record back off Beşiktaş, especially if we have more nights like the Man City game.

I imagine we'll see plans go in before then. Probably carry out the planning phase of the Anny Rd whilst the training ground is getting built.

according to this that seems to be the case https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/announcements/305065-summer-stadium-works-under-way-at-anfield

Quote
Within the stadium bowl, three additional TV camera positions will be installed to the front of the middle tier of the Main Stand to offer broadcasters a choice of locations to film game footage. Work is also being carried out on internal infrastructure to improve access and egress for heavy-goods vehicles.

So back to old main tv camera position next season?

The old positions were mostly on the gantry under the roof, so those won't be possible.

Does anyone know what they’ve done within the Main Stand with the proposed shop on th3 ground floor. The original plans were for it to be a mega store but they built the separate store...... so what is now in that space?

The new kop bar isn't it , you can have a drink before and after the match , went in there for a look after the Brighton game and it was plenty of room and plenty of choice of beers and reasonably priced for match day in comparison to the local pubs , a lot easier to get served in there until it gets popular

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned but I noticed while watching the brighton match at home that the camera angle seemed lower than when the main stand first opened. Was it moved?

Quality of the finish in the main stand stairways is still awful.

No big issue, but there's no way I'd have signed that off if someone finished my house like that.

Well well well, it seems that Peter Moores and buddies always were thinking of new ways to make the investment work on Anfield Road End.

I stated quite a few months back how revenue can be increased. This isn't something new, it should have been much more clearer from the start of the Main Stand build. If a layperson like me can see that the stadium needs to work outside of normal operating days, then surely a masterplan of the stadium should have been put in place from the inception of the main stand design. Of course some on here cited the Echo Arena and how it wouldn't be allowed.

I personally think the main stand roof is causing a further problem in designing around it/with it also.
I still think the flats idea could be viable with some corporate to make the ARE easier to pay off. Outside season events would also help massively. I do hope this is announced by the end of the year. Work has started on training ground, and having this start early summer next year would be about time.  :-[

Pretty self explanatory I thought, but hey ho.

Echo Arena was cited on here as being the events venue for Liverpool City and how Anfield would in no way be allowed to stage events, taking away from the Echo.

To be fair if they had a stadium masterplan it's never been mentioned in 10 years. Kind of my point.  :-\
Why is a simple design alteration taking so long, if both ends of KD stand and Main (inc the roof) don't cause a problem? Surely a simple case of putting this (ARE design) out to tender to do upto RIBA design stage, put the planning in again to council, and then you can wait till majority of new training ground is done, whilst you tender the construction work for ARE.

I'd be really surprised if it is a funding issue, or manpower issue. We should be able to handle two projects at the same time.

Did you expect them to inform you of their masterplan?

The club always said it was going to wait until the Main was done so they could then reassess what demand was and to explore the options. The options, from what I understand, is to look to go bigger than originally planned. It also seems it is to try to host other events at the stadium (which will probably alter the design of the new Anny Road to allow for this maybe).

Planning could go in tomorrow for all we know, or it could be in 6 months. I imagine work is on going with it, along with the building work for the new training complex which is due to completion in summer 2020.

Not me, no. But a passing reference maybe to the fans group or something similar. I'm surprised you don't think such an idea should not be raised.

They knew how well the Main was doing from the first year? They should have known that events planning could have been included at initial design stage. Bigger is great, bit more communication would be nice. Waiting list doesn't get any smaller.

The club have said many times they have explored many different options for the future development/use of the stadium, the application for extra events is obviously part of that thinking. I don't see the need for them to release their ideal plan until decisions have been made and permission granted for it.

The Anny Rd planning was only ever outline and needed more detail for it before construction. The plan seems to be to go bigger than that outline initially gave but that remains to be seen.
