Well, resident-Liverpool-supporters-of-whom-many-don't-actually-live-in-Liverpool takes longer to type, and I'm wary of wear and tear on my MacBook's keyboard...Do we have any resident scousers?
Anyway, he has gone to Swansea it turns out but just on a season-long loan, so that's alright.
Do we have any resident scousers?
*waves*
One right here!
Dunno about Anderson though Jaffa. I knew about the loan, but a signing is news to me. Will ask one who knows more than I...
The new stadium looks pretty damn great, especially if it maintains the surrounding greenery of Stanley Park. Glad The Kop is going to be maintained, but they would have been mad to remove The Twelfth Man.
The idea of replicating the Kop end in that fashion I like...
However, these designs looks rushed and tacky. The first 60,000 stadium (below)
far more pleasing to the eye... the design released today (in xUKHCx's post) just looks like a tutorial you'd see for Blender 3D beginner level....
As for the actual aesthetics... it's hideous... I don't like it one bit, reminds me of a space station you'd see on the Jetsons

I can't make my mind up on this one... I think the interior shot looks pretty good, but I'm not keen on the exterior at all the south-east view, for example, looks like it's got a big chunk missing out of it. In saying that, at least they're looking towards doing something a bit different, as opposed to some of the rather bland identikit stadiums we've seen pop up in recent years.
I think as well it's pretty obvious that the designs are at a very early stage the final design may very well end up significantly different from these renders.
I agree with Jaffa here... I'm not sure about the design yet, but if they keep the greenery in Stanley Park, I'm inclined to give it the nod. The original design was very very generic (could have been the Emirates Stadium) and safe, the new design pushes things forward, and I'm all for that.
However, if its been based on what the designers are turning out in the States that just plain lazy... this is football not the NFL.
Still, I'm about 60/40 in favour... will be interesed to see what everyone thinks when I head back up to visit the folks...
Thats a good point, actually the renders dont show the proposed stadium in the context of its potential surroundings. From a personal point of view, Hulls stadium is in parkland and its a great setting, it really sets the building off well it looks great emerging above the trees as you approach it.
Do you have any idea if theyre actually planning on keeping the parkland around the new ground, then? I suppose theyre going to need some pretty hefty car parking facilities for a 60,000+ seater, which could potentially gobble quite a bit of green space up... Im not familiar with Liverpool or Stanley Park in particular so I dont know how much space they have to play with?
I am and a Liverpool fan

Yay some real scousers
I'd be interested to hear what Liverpool fans think of the new design - I think it looks dreadful. The original plans for New Anfield were far superior to this. I have to say that I prefer Everton's new stadium.
To be honest, I prefer the more simple, boxy design of Anfield. From the outside at least, in pictures it not exactly "pretty."
Anyone watching the game today vs Porto? I have a feeling it will be a 0-0 or 1-1 draw, although I wouldn't mind a win of course, Porto are currently top of the table in The Portuguese Liga, played 4 won 4, so I am expecting a fairly tough game.
Kuyt's still a doubt like Torres. We could have done with both of them being match fit too, they'd give the Toffee's a world of problems
And it would be nice seeing Torres play in a Premiership game too
Still, Everton have lost the last 3 out of 4, so I'm hopeful of a result...

after our recent performances i'm worried, but it's the perfect time to bounce back and stuff 'em

Well we got a bit lucky there really. But I guess we'll take that.
Derby wins are always sweet however achieved.
But damn it was ugly... and ill-won. Jamie C should have been sent off plain and simple, his "management" of Lescott was shocking (especially the second time around) and how he got away with i I don't know. Stevie G certainly did seem to influence the ref, at least from the angles that we saw in the replays. Shocking win. But there's a couple of things we can take away from the game:
1) We scored all of the goals
2) Phil Neville would make a cracking keeper
3) Jamie Carragher likes hugs
Still.... we won
It baffles me as to why Liverpool released those images of the stadium, they are appalling. Many better ones now exist.
In my opinion (having seen just about every document that has been released, every image and all the architectural drawings) it's going to be one of the best stadia in the world. 78-80k seater by the time it's finished, the largest single tier stand in the world and an amazing design (although those images make it look horrible). I actually prefer the 75k seater stadium that Valencia are building, externally - but internally it's just another bowl and that wouldn't have worked for our football club.
I'll try to get some more images and information together if any of you are interested, at all?
The new owners suite/s are amazing. The changing rooms and facilities are about 5 times the size of my house and it's generally amazing.

Like so many great pieces of architecture (and this is real architecture, not the cloned bowls that have been popping up all over the place in the last decade) it has taken a while to get used to, but the way it dips it cap to the history of English stadiums and broken away from the symmetrical boredom of the new designs is very bold, it took some balls and some imagination, but they have really pulled it off.
LIverpool fc
'Oh round the fields of Anfield road where once we watched the KING KENNY play Stevie Highway on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing of the glory round the fields of Anfield road'....... What happened to all the glory of years gone by? The team who won the CL 5 times hardly has the ability to keep possession of the ball anymore. I don't recognise LFC anymore. We had the spirit , we have the talent , we had the vibe but sadly all the energy and urge to win games is diminishing from our players these days. The talent and skills are there but sadly the mind managing our team isn't. Last season rotation won us nothing yet Rafa still insists to stick to rotation even though it shatters the spirit, confidence and self esteem of our great players. I think it's time Rafa took a last look at Anfield and does the decent thing and leave . Let us start building the confidence in our team , let us start to achieve what we deserve, let us go back to the Mighty Reds days. Our glory will return when Rafa goes !
