Liverpool to stay at Anfield

Well it seems after previous owners wasted millions on drawing up plans and seeking planning permission to move to a new stadium, F.S.G have decided upon trying to renovate Anfield instead. On a personal level, I applaud this decision as someone who never tires of feeling the magic and aura of visiting Anfield three times a year. Anfield is arguably the most historic football ground in England and to have seen it demolished would have been a travesty.
There can be no doubting that this will not go down well with some of the resident groups in the area but one suspects the council will back Liverpool F.C in whatever they decide as their chief concern is the regeneration of the whole Anfield area. There are a lot of obstacles in the way to developing Anfield such as Housing behind the both the main and centenary stands. These houses are entitled to the "right to light" but it now appears the council and resident committees are in discussion about compensation for the houses affected. Already this summer the council have begun demolishing derelict houses that were previously acquired by Liverpool F.C.

John W Henry Liverpool's principle owner is believe to favour a stadium that caters for more corporate boxes and a wide spread of ticket prices to attract a variety of supporters but more importantly in a newly expanded Anfield, there would be a huge increase in revenue per seat as Liverpool endeavor to close the gap on their match day revenue when benchmarking against their more chief rivals in England.

As a fan I only hope we see an announcement soon to put this long running saga to a conclusion. I for one, believe it is the right conclusion with Anfield remaining the centre piece of a regenerated Anfield area where one of the worlds top clubs still attracts visitors from the around the world to see this uniquest of stadiums .
