The HKS design shits all over this one.

Absolutely hate both of the AFL designs.

bloody hell we dodged a bullet there. That is awful! ........... and I was one of the few to like their first effort.

Tacky is the only word for it.

Not entirely sure what everyone is on about with the renders either, the newer HKS ones contain far more structual detail.

New Generation Anfield
Anfield, Liverpool
Client Liverpool FC
Completed Concept
Value £290m
AFL revised proposals for new stadium was presented to Liverpool Football Club early January 2008, for which the capacity is 72,000 with 18,500 seated in the new single tier kop.

I have to say, I prefer the AFL design, maybe that's to do with quality of the images?

looks like a bigger 3 sided emirates with dallas cowbows arches, the kop is not the focal point IMO and there's way too much light let in at that end.

If this is what was on the table, I'd go with HKS.

agree on the light...football stadiums should be dark, eerie, forbidding, intimidating! of course, the grass will die but, hey, can't have everything.

i know this comment is about 5 years too late and has probably been said before anyway but....

when the idea of a NEW ANFIELD first came to my attention I actually envisioned a stadium that more-or-less had the look and feel of the existing Anfield only obviously bigger and more modern.

i certainly didn't imagine all this glass and shiny metal cladding rubbish....all that does is spiral the costs upwards and make us look like pretentious tossers.

i want a FOOTBALL stadium not a place to show off the latest in fashions.

plus i think that the more "modern" the stadium is the quicker it becomes "old fashioned"... the more traditional it is the longer it will remain viable in my view.

in a nutshell, I don't much like any of these designs.

the more i see of the HKS one the less i like. given a choice right now, i'd take the revised AFL one, at the very least it looks like a stadium. the HKS one is just too funky and now the novelty has worn off i find it ugly. just as well it'll never be buuilt. can't wait to see what DIC come up with.

I like more the design of this thread, I do not like the stadiums that have opened elbows, I prefer a thousand times stadiums that are completely closed with no empty spaces between platforms, why vote for the design of AFL

Never mind the fucking Stadium design....what does Rafa think he's playing at with that 2-1-1-1-3-1-1 formation???

I still say my MS Paint design is the best of all of them. Give me five grand and I'll have it built before Easter.

I liked both the designs and I'm undecided to which one I would prefer. Both of them have their positives and their "negatives". The AFL design costs £10mill less if I'm not mistaken and has a capacity of 72,000, so it's cheaper and has a bigger capacity but I'm not too fussed anyway as I like both designs. The important thing is that the sooner we build the stadium the better!! If it ever gets built

I like this view. Honestly, one of the things I'd tell AFL is to highlight the Kop and make it the stadium's focal point. After all, the Kop is what has given Anfield its chief uniqueness. There does seem to be a lot of light over that part of the New Anfield. However, the design isn't half bad, except those two issues of the Kop being singly highlighted and its occupants being shielded from the harsh sun. However, I'd prefer that stadium gotten over and one with so that we can move on to pursuing history, as only LFC can.

The main problems with the revised AFL design are the glass roof and the shape of The Kop ... Here is my proposal ...

Fuckin hell! It looks like the Athens olympic stadium with the 2 arch things on either side. Load of shite inside aswell. Too bowl like IMO

nice try there but, to my eyes, that is a typical "gridiron" football stadium not a proper football stadium. too open, too much light, not intimate enough.

what we REALLY need is a virtual replica of Anfield, only bigger with more modern infrastructure behind it. OK, I accept that curved side stands give better sightlines so I would go with them but all this glass and perspex roofs etc. are just tacky in my view.

on another thread there is an aerial view of the new Molineux which looks pretty good. with some added "corners" that would be a pretty good style for us too.

just my opinion.

This stadium looks too light and airy, needs to be more intimate and intimidating, okay obstructed views aren't good but sometimes they are just necessary to have if you want to keep any atmosphere in a stadium.
