Topic: Main Stand Expansion (U/C) Pics and Progress in here

How good does the new pitch look! Hopefully will allow some faster passing and slick football to help break down these bus parkers

[RedorRed]

Now that Kenny has his own stand, I would have thought his name would be on there for all to see? Much like (dare I say it) the Mr. Ferguson stand at castle grey skull?

I don't think it's been officially unveiled as the Kenny stand yet... will form part of the 125 years celebration I think.

[TepidT2O]

Still no naming rights for the main stand either. I'd be interested to know why not...lack of interest?

Yeah, I think it's happening in October.

Absofuckinglutely. Clearly these people have never even seen He-Man, yet think they can use it as a reference 
I did ask for an auto correct, but SP said no

You need to get out more.

I was true He-Man fan as a kid back in the 80s, I had all the toys, battle cat, dragon walker and even castle grayskull.

Well you should know then that Castle Grayskull was where He-Man and his mates used to knock about and Skeletor tried to attack it numerous times. He-Man being the good guy, Skeletor being the shithead. So please don't refer to Old Trafford as the good guys hangout.

Yes, I do need to get out more.

But Castle Grayskull was grim, al la Old Trafford...that's my reference point. It may not be accurate with the occupiers.....oh it don't matter!!

Next time I'll just refer to Old Trafford as that shit hole. No confusion then! 😄

I thought they had shortened the width of the pitch for a second there, as in this pic the technical area looks bigger. But after checking pics from last season, it looks like they've taken out the track bit that used to run along the touch-lines and extended the artificial grass so that it goes right up to the advertising hoardings.

Glad to see they've done that, was an injury waiting to happen. You used to see players constantly slipping over there.

Liverpool FC's new flagship Anfield store is set for an unmissable grand opening on Monday August 14.

Starting from 6pm, a special two-hour event hosted by Capital FM duo Graeme Smith and Dylan Evans will mark the long-awaited launch of our newest retail location.

Reds legends Robbie Fowler and Ian Rush will be on hand for the official opening and the first 100 fans to spend £50 once the store is open will receive a free premium goody bag.

Club mascot Mighty Red will be in attendance to meet young supporters, who can enjoy glitter face painting, in-store competitions and a football freestyler performance.

Fans who wish to attend can park free of charge at Stanley Park.

[Brian Blessed]

How young do you have to be to meet Mighty Red and get the face glitter painting? 

[Samie]

How young do you feel mate?

Odd not to mention about the additional seats in the Kop?

There's a separate thread for it - https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=335055.0

[davidsteventon]

Sorry meant the LFC announcement posted above. It mentions about all the changes - the stones, new club shop, wheelchair access etc but not about the additional kop seats.

[carl123uk]

Is there any pictures of the new disabled area or the back of the kop?

[YNWAArkAngel]

Is there any pictures of the new disabled area or the back of the kop?

i dont think there any disabled space in back of the kop however there is 2 new platform in centenary stand each corner as u should see visible by the new white doors and i did ask for pics of these new platform but having no luck yet but will find out when i go vs crystal palace

[TepidT2O]

They've spent £10m on the old girl this summer

Haha Evil Linda

[Anfield89]

New lounge going to be in place of where they were putting the new club shop before decideing to build a new one.

[Anfield89]

Strange that this was an after thought.

I'm afraid viewing angles will be even worse for the people high up in the corner when they install a scoreboard on that structure.

[Anfield89]

They are putting a scoreboard up there?

[Kopout]

is that scoreboard? also they put them front row seats back in kop. thought its disabled area

[CraigDS]

I'm afraid viewing angles will be even worse for the people high up in the corner when they install a scoreboard on that structure.

I doubt they are putting a score board up there given those who would benefit from it can also easily see the one already in place. Plus also not sure how much it would impact the view given the narrow nature of any (unlikely) scoreboard and the fact from that angle it probably stops a view of the lower kop seats more than anything else.

[lfc79]

Strange that this was an after thought.

None of the design geniuses responsible realised it would be bloody cold in the lower main stand with the wind coming in?

[RedorRed]

I'm sure all the changes they've made to the Kop will effect the overall atmosphere on it.
The roof over hang has been reduced, that edge on the Main Stand side.... the angled back has been changed.

The roof is a fecking mess....... more rain hitting those at the front...... it just looks less interdating with more light in it etc.

It doesn't appear to have been cut back any more that it had been previously - I think 2 seasons now (going into the 3rd).

it was cut back further for the Main Stand in September last year!!!

Looking at the seat selection tool it doesn't really impact the view on the pitch. People up in the corner can't see the other scoreboard though.

They wouldn't be able to see this one either.
