[Fowler's God]

Very Impressed -- totally redesigned on the previous model given

[Colm]

Set to hold 60,000 with the possibility of extending to 78,000, and is scheduled to open in 2010. The Kop will become even bigger, holding 19,000 fans, remaining the biggest single structure stand in the world.

[Dub13]

I like it alot.

[gav003]

It really looks fantastic- Imagine that new steeper bigger Kop pulling in the goals for us- Amazing!!

[callyno3]

wow. All a bit futuristic looking . I have to say the new Kop looks awesome at first impessions . will have to study it more but first impressions are good

[Rogie]

It's amazing. Can't wait to go to a game there!

[Fowler's God]

Sure the corners at the side of the Kop could hold an extra 5 to 8 thousand if expansion was needed didn't see the opposite end of the Kop to see if the corners were filled in there.

Have to say compared to the previous design lads this one outweighs anything i've seen before New Wembley is not a patch on it. Really exciting future ahead finally we have arrived in the modern era of football.

[Dub13]

Its going to be a sad day when Anfield closes but progress is progress.

[dougal]

Absolutely stunning.

[armaghred]

Looks outta this world:D

[Fowler's God]

It will be worse than when the original Kop had to be closed in 1994.

But what are they going to do with the Plaque to Billy Liddell, Shankly's statue and both the shankly gates and the paisley gates when we move surely they will uprooted and brough to the new stadium?

[paddypower111]

its good looking but better when its actually up and running

[paddypower111]

:)u could watch the match out in the park with all them windows

[Gazr21]

looks class but they could have given us more photos to see diff angles:mad:

[paddypower111]

i agree gaz

[KOPITE55]

certainly looks futuristic,lets hope they get planning permission for the increased capacity down the line

[novasteve]

So so so glad theyve gone for a rectangular shape rather than a round one... fortress Anfield just got a hell of a lot bigger.

I reckon those bits in the corner are probably for corporate boxes or something?

[redeagle]

can't wait to see that 18 thousand strong kop waving flags scarfs and banners and singing ynwa during a important match.

looks amazing, no doubt the unique design and unique liverpool support will make it one of the best in the world. again.

[liverbird!!]

Nearly has the same amount of windows, as me gaff!!!:D

Anyway looks great! kop looks spectacular!! and my seat looks great
just between the F and the ., At kop end 2nd block up!!!:D

Now all we need is it to be built in time. Well done the Yanks!!!

wats the capacity of the current KOP??

[callyno3]

wats the capacity of the current KOP??

"The stadium will include an awe-inspiring, 18,000-seater Kop end, almost half as big again as the current Kop capacity." so just under 12000 I guess. Open to correction .
The open corners is a piece I'm not really fond of, can anyone explain if this will be closed in for the increse in capacity?

[WexRed]

Yeah don't like the corners myself. Hard to visualise whats their purpose but I presume this is exactly where capacity will be extended so Kop would eventually be well over 20k spanning out even more.

On the south east view anny road looks non-existence but the side stands do seem to go very far back so obv extra capacity there. Was wondering is that a big screen on the outside of the Kop in the south west view ?! I would like to see the aerial bird's eye views to compare to the previous images. Looks like one side is sloping inwards and the other outwards which is consistent with those previous pics. Also does seem to be slanting downwards from Kop end to Anny Road which again is as was thought before.

[liverbird!!]

Corners will surely be replaced with seating.

[sean]

Well apart from looking like the new terminal at Cork airport from one side, it looks superb. I'm highly impressed.

[Jockser]

failed by about 5 hours to get up in time for the launch but feckin class it is

[megager]

Cool. I like it.

[marko]

Great looking Kop! nice stadium would like to see more pics though

[Fowler's God]

kinda have to agree to the sides look the like the new terminal in cork airport, probably cut the design possibly from that!! :p

[phil]

Holy mother it,s savage:D

[Jockser]

i can imaginge Riise with one of his shot smashing one of those windows and the groundsman coming running out waving the broom stick over his head and Riise pointing sheepishly at Gerrard :D

[Garrett]

Looks very good overall ...

I just wish they'd increase the seating now and stop this flapping around stuff. If it comes to it, do a deal with the Council / Government to help fund a rail link ... there was supposed to be a light rail system going into Liverpool for 2008, until the Government pulled the funding etc. It's an investment for the future me thinks.


One thing I noticed, don't the upper tiers on both sides look very steep, I'm terrified of hights, so wonder if I should write to LFC now and ask them to reserve me a seat down near the pitch instead ? ;) :D

Yeah its 12,499 capacity, Looked it up, im not a smart ass full of facts :)

Was dissapointed that there wasnt more photos i mean they dont really show anything special except a futuristic couple of pics. I cant wait to see the new stadium, do the stadium tour :) but until then some more pics be great.

[bryanod]

i liiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkeeeeeeeeee

[Fowler's God]

Heres a better aerial view of the new stadium, the image is so big its not worth putting it up so heres the web address

[peterk]

Looks absolutely savage in fairness. Read that they are looking to design the acoustics around the Kop to maximise the noise...

[paddypower111]

we have to make sure we leave the old stadium with another leauge title

[YNWA]

we have to make sure we leave the old stadium with another leauge title

Most definitely!
