Of course I’m not saying it would in any way be acceptable, but it would still happen regardless.

 

Putting aside the vandalism issue. If the boot was on the other foot, would you want to help them out? I certainly wouldn’t. Imagine having to see your biggest rivals celebrate some potentially famous wins in your ground. Fuck that ?

No, I definitely wouldn’t :) - but I’m also aware of how childish I am in that regard.  The difference is that for the Mackems their board would likely love the money that would come their way; but of course their fans would be in open revolt

Perfect scenario would be us playing there for a few years and in that time drawing them in the cup, giving them a reduced allocation of 2K on safety grounds.

What if PIF just were to just buy Sunderland FC and wind the club down? Then there'd be a free stadium for us to use.

Mordor away every other week.

They wouldn’t need to - my understanding from RTG is that if Saudi Arabia had taken over Sunderland, not one of them would attend another game.  Because they have their morals.

Says the fans of a club based in a city who have just voted for a right wing racist for mayor ahead of the morally conscious socialist they claim to be.

Anyone with any construction knowledge know how long (roughly) would completion of the Gallowgate extension take if it was cleared to go ahead? 
 

Did I see 8000 extra seated mooted?

Using Liverpool’s Anfield Road extension as a proxy (albeit hindered by Covid timelines and a contractor going bust it seems about 5 years from planning permission to completion. Feels a bit long. That would also be challenging for us as a Euro 2028 venue.

 

The club spent the second half of 2019 finalising plans and consulting local residents, planning officials and other stakeholders with a view to submitting the new plans for approval in early 2020.

 

However, in March 2020 Liverpool delayed submitting a planning application for the project in light of financial uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

In December 2020, Liverpool announced that they would be moving forward with the project by submitting final planning application for the redevelopment, with the delay pushing back the initial completion date for Phase Two redevelopment from summer 2022 to summer 2023 at the earliest.

 

The plans were approved by the Liverpool City Council in June 2021. The expansion was expected to cost £60 million and allowed Anfield Road stand to seat 7,000 more people, giving the stadium a total capacity of 61,000.

 

Work by contractor Buckingham Group officially commenced on September 30, 2021, with the first sod being turned by manager Jürgen Klopp. The stand was expected to be completed during the 2023–24 season and will also see the relocation of the Family Park to a covered position.

 

However, on August 17, 2023, Buckingham announced it would be filing for administration, jeopardising timely completion of the new £80 million stand.

 

On September 7, 2023, the club took control of the project, appointing Rayner Rowen Construction to complete the stand using as many of the original subcontractors as possible.

 

In October 2023, Liverpool announced that the upper part of the new developed stand will not be open to the public "until the end of 2023".

 

On November 23, the club anticipated half of the new upper tier would be available for a Premier League match against Manchester United on December 17, 2023. Much of the stand opened for Liverpool's home Premier League game against Burnley FC on February 10, 2024.

Cheers thanks for that. I guess the added complication for us is the metro underneath and the road which ambulances use but architects can do wonders thesedays.

Civil and structural engineers will need to do wonders - but the laws of physics don’t change.  I’m still scratching my head as to how you meet the foundation requirements over the top of a Metro station.

Despite all online outrage, they would take the ground sharing opportunity on first opportunity.

Decent money they can make+ having healthy relationship with our owner is lucrative to most businessmen.

 

They shows their intent last time with the bar makeover fisco.

 

The question is only about security.

 

Although, it's entirely possible to play through SJP while work is going on in one section, let say eaststand like happen during last extension.

 

only a spurs style redevelopment needs a ground sharing.

If we ever want to compete at the top level something similar is what our owners should be aiming to do. Show us the ambition.

 

Matchday revenue is only a small proportion of Premier League clubs' revenue, less than 15% on average. Our stadium isn't going to make the difference between us competeing at the top level or not.

Financially probably not, but prestige and really acting like a top club (which they want us to be).

 

Spurs stadium probably does a lot of heavy lifting for them when selling themselves to potential players.

 

We've normally been ok in this department as players and managers alike make note of how the stadium can be when in full flow. But it is falling behind and they need a massive rethink on fan allocation to ensure St James stays a fortress and the right fans are grouped together.
