This is not the thread you're looking for......
Skyscraper city is thaterway...........
I know what you're saying regarding maximising a new stand, facilities, and income, but be realistic. We are first and foremost, Liverpool Football Club.
Our bread and butter is football.
Our bread and butter, like it or not, is making money from the football to enable us to compete; kind of chicken and egg these days. The main stand is about corporate and hospitality, the umming and arring about the ARE is about money as the regular football punters dont cut the mustard in terms of making it economically viable. When we led the way in football, we led the way off the pitch too, we could afford the biggest fees, we I think introduced sponsors on shirts first (I think but stand to be corrected). To be competitive you have to make money and more than your competitors. Looks at those Forbes and Deloitte lists, there are what 8 clubs above us, and bar the odd exception, year on year, they hoover up all the trophies. I get what you say but foot is about money and the two can not be divorced. Which would you prefer of the two plans outlined in the planning consent; selling 8 apartments or a shopping centre... I would prefer something that at least relates to sport myself.

I thought this was a forum to discuss things and express views. Nothing wrong with SCC, and given that RAWK seems to nick half of its photo content from there... we are fans and all want Liverpool to return to winning ways and ideally doing in spectacular fashion on a regular basis but that takes cash these days, unfortunately, but perhaps always, £1mill in the 70s is £50 mill today I guess.
