Had an interesting chat with someone close to the ground rebuilding work. Described it as a bit of a farce.
LFC have started changing the agreed spec and the price has gone up
Rodgers has been given lots of influence on the design of the sporting areas and changing rooms Etc
A small astro turf pitch will be hidden away in the main stand so the players get more warm up space on match day
Some of the main stand structure will remain with concrete added to raise the angle of the lowest rows
Apparently it’ll pay for itself in 4/5 years due to the increased ‘covers’- corporate seats massively increased
LFC had messed up some sight lines for the new upper tier meaning the roof on the Kop and Anny Road will need to be cut back several metres. That’ll happen next summer and mean the front rows of the Kop will get wet if it rains
And apparently the council are being slow in clearing the land holding things up
When it comes to the main build they will have 16 weeks to do most of the work- 200 men working 3 shifts 24 hours a day apparently
Apparently our last game of next year and start of the one after will be away to give extra time for the works
Builders will have penalty clauses for each seat not ready for the new season
Was told that the builders will have gear on site on the signed commencement date even if just for PR purposes as currently site not ready
The final thing he said was that the Anny Road rebuild will happen if we are still in CL, it’s not as crucial as less corporate seats
