Incase you haven't already heard the news (which may shock and upset many Liverpool fans) Liverpool F.C. are will today be desciding as to wether or not they finally leave the 45,000 Stadium 'Anfield' in search of a new and much bigger stadium to help keep the smiles of their local fans' faces.
This is shocking news for me, as a United fan, and I think that they have to strongly consider staying at the Theater which has hosted so many memorable matches and performances over the 100+ years Liverpool have been playing there.
It must be like a price-less piece of treasure to Liverpool fans, especially some of the greater players and loyal fans who have appeared their over the years.
With anything that is highly-valuable and means more than the world to you, you wouldn't just simply give it up or trade it in for a new one, just to get more money from it now would you! That's madness!! But it's what Liverpool may decide to do if they come to the conclusion that Anfield is simply 'too small for the big games'.
The Stadium itself was built way back in 1888, and it also played host to many Everton home games back then. Liverpool then moved in in 1892, meaning that Liverpool have now entertained at this famous ground for roughly 110 years in total.
So many games, so many goals, so many great matches.
Liverpool are still to date, the most succesfull football club in the history of Brittish Football. They're form of the past decade may favour United for this title, but when you do your research you'll see that Liverpool are still the no.1 team to beat!
Could the vast-majority of trophies they've recieved really have been possible without the full-support that the fans behind the goal have given them over the years at the Kop End??? I doubt it!
They would've looked lost and alone in the big competitions without such strong support, but many of The Kop won't be too happy with this moving news!
Is moving to a new Stadium really the answer????
Sure, it'll give their loyal fans a better chance of actually seeing their team play at home for the future, and it'll earn them a lot more money.
But all those memorable memories will still be left behind at the original Anfield site.
All the greats that have played there, including Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, John Barnes and Peter Beardsley won't be too happy to see the go either - after the Liverpool careers they've had, making real names for themselves!
New stadiums don't come too cheap either. Especially if they're gunna plan to rival Old Trafford and St. James' Park (Newcastle) for the no.1 groud in the country!
Look at the Wembley project. Hundreds of millions have been wasted on a project that was set to create the ultimate National Stadium in Europe alone!
I'm agaist Liverpool moving to a new ground, like many Liverpool fans probably are too. But i'll suport the idea if the FA do something like decide that Stanley Park will be England's new home to replace the old Wembley.
But there is a possible solution that could be considered to keep everyone happy. The simple answer would be to expand the capacity of Anfield by another £20,000 or so.
This would not only keep all those memories with the current fans and players inside Anfield, but also save the club's board potentially hundreds of millions of pounds that would be used on a new stadium altogether!
So this is the answer to me, simply get an extension of Anfield.
Millions could be wasted on a Stadium that could either fall into the 'New Wembley Project Trap' or cause the club to loose money as the team doesn't start to create the expected results and success to come from an extra few thousand fans.
Money isn't the most important thing in football despite what many players' contracts may show to you. Money can be replaced, memories can't.
Anfield and it's superb history will go to a great waste if Liverpool do leave the stadium that has entertained with so much on display.
The Kop fans have always sung "You'll never walk alone", flooding and over-owering Anifeld. But with a move elsewhere, the club will be alone, without it's truth that lies only in the past.
We're all very dissapointed about how Wembley was just 'destroyed', who's to say that Liverpool Fans and maybe others too won't feel the same if the Stanley Park project does go ahead!

They can't even do that properly!
The old Arsenal would have out-bored them easily.
Fortunately we've moved on. But it shows that Liverpool's tactics are about 5 years behind. ;-p

Heh, kinda like Arsenal used to be! ;D
The keep up with the big boys you gotta be set up financially.
It is impressive what Arsenal have achieved with only a staduim smaller than 40,000 but they could never compete with Man Utd financially with that staduim.
Houllier obviously must see big things happening for Liverpool in the coming years and this staduim move will help things...
Its not as if Liverpools best performances come at home anyway these days is it?
They dont play with the same attacking flair that the Anfield faithful used to push on with thier support. Defensive boring Liverpool..doesnt matter where they play...

Yeah, giving more fans more chances to see their home games makes this new stadium idea better. But I still feel it shoudln't happen, Liverpool will be a different team if they move in a few years time - and not a better one!
I thought Liverpool were going to build their new stadium on their car park, which actually covers more ground than the current stadium.
Anyway, if the want to move, it's up to them. Personally I see no harm in it. I can't wait for Arsenal to get their new stadium built - might actually be able to get tickets for some Premiership games then!
I disagree with clubs moving vast distances (i.e. Wimbledon to Milton Keynes), but moves of a few miles in the same city are fine.
As for the national stadium idea - no way in hell I'll support that. A national stadium belongs in the capital city. It doesn't have to be Wembley, but it MUST be in London.

Yeah, Old Trafford is in the same situation, because they are both old stadiums, built to be in the citys, they have been surrounded by other buildings. (Barcelona got around this at the Nou Camp by taking out their running track and dropping the pitch below ground level to add in another 20000 seats!)
It will be a pity if Liverpool move from Anfield. I can't imagine United away from Old Trafford. Mind you, I remember a Liverpool fan at the start of the season last year saying how they would never sell Fowler or Redknapp, I guess its just football, things and people move on.

There you see! Another reason as to why this is a bad idea and how it will effect and upset/anger the local fans who have been loyal for so long, and seen so much!
It doesn't look like it'd be that hard to add an extra 20k seats onto the current Stadium.
Anfield's a great place as it is - for the memories of the past!

They actually disscussed, and wanted to, increase the capacity by 20,000. But to do that, they would have to knock some houses down at the side of where they wanted to extend it. This would obviously create more distress for the locals as you could imagine.
