"I don't understand people who said that the current Kop is not The Kop. So it isn't the same stand but it is on the same site. You can still feel the excitment as you walk up the steps onto the stand. This is something I don't think we would get at the new ground."
The fact is that the "new" Kop is not the old Kop. I do not how many games you attended at anfield prior to the Kop being rebuilt, but nobody could possibly calim that the Kop as it stands even bears a resemblence to that of the 1970s, as with most of the ground.
The fact is that many regulars on the kop, prior to it becoming all-seated, opposed seating and said that it would ruin the it. Some would argue that it has, and the dead Kop that greets most league games, certainly is nothing even remotely similar to the one I grew up with.
The Kop was the building that housed the poignant memories of 16th-30th April and not the McNasty's family stand that sits in its place now. I can understand people lamenting the loss of memories of days gone by, but those memories will not leave us.
To argue that we should not move forward as a club because of a stand which is less than a decade old, to me, demeans the loss of the memories of an arena which is far more important than that.
