    I'll believe it when I see it, but work is now set to start in May with actual construction starting in July, although the anticipated completion is now 2010.

    Final whistle on shared stadium
    Apr 2 2007
    by Nick Coligan, Liverpool Echo

    A SHARED stadium for the city’s two football clubs was today killed off for good.

    Council leader Warren Bradley resurrected the idea last week when he told the ECHO he would support it.

    But in announcing that work would start on the new Anfield in May, Liverpool FC said there was no chance of Everton becoming involved.

    A joint statement by the Reds and the city council said that despite “full and frank talks” about stadium sharing, it had “too many unknowns” and would cause “significant delays”, putting the entire redevelopment of Stanley Park and the Anfield area at risk.

    Today’s announcement made it clear that Liverpool are fully committed to their own £215m project, despite the ongoing review of the proposal by their new American owners. It says:

    Story continues...

    Trying to get hold of some better pics, but won't post them if i do. A few people have been warned about legal action. Think the new application goes in next week.

    A few people i know said they had a likeness to something Frank Gehry would design.

    Since i've only seen those two and no others i have no idea.

    Looks fantastic, really hope that it gets built.

    No other stadium in the world looks like that.

    KOP THAT UNITED
    EXCLUSIVE New owners are planning Britain's biggest stadium


    LIVERPOOL are set to unveil plans that will make their new stadium the biggest in British club football.

    American owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett will submit a revised design to the local council later this month for a 60,000- capacity ground which could eventually hold 80,000.

    That expansion will eventually make the stadium bigger than Old Trafford.

    AdvertisementLiverpool co-owner Tom Hicks said: "The city council's planners will receive the final plans on July 25.
    "The initial capacity will be the 60,000 previously approved, but the design will accommodate an eventual capacity in the high seventies."

    Manchester United can fit 76,000 fans into Old Trafford but further expansion would be difficult. So the news that Liverpool are planning a £250m home which could dwarf that of their biggest rivals will delight Anfield fans.

    Good news

    Liverpool have over 60,000 people on the season ticket waiting list so building a stadium that couldn't be made any bigger didn't make sense.

    Default New Stadium Latest.

    THE ECHO can today reveal the detailed timetable to deliver Liverpool FC’s
    new stadium.

    Anfield officials have delivered precise plans to the city council which
    would lead to work starting in Stanley Park by the end of the year. Despite
    calling back the bulldozers who were due to start work in May, the club is
    confident the 60,000-capacity stadium will still be ready for the start of
    the 2010 season. The £280m project’s new timescale was revealed today as
    city officials waited for the club to unveil its redrawn proposals for New
    Anfield.

    Reds’ owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks decided to go back to the drawing
    board after buying the club to see if stadium capacity could be increased
    beyond 60,000. As revealed in Monday’s ECHO, the American owners intend to
    retain the original capacity, but redesign it significantly so it can be
    expanded later. Now Liverpool council is being given a firm timescale which
    the club hopes to stick to. It would mean:

    A planning application being lodged on July 25.

    The council granting planning permission by the end of October.

    Government officials agreeing not to intervene by the end of November.

    Work starting at the end of the year.

    Councillors will also be asked to agree a 999-year lease for the site to new
    company Stadco, which is being set up by Liverpool to develop the ground.
    The club would have to pay rent of £300,000 a year. Plans to refurbish the
    rest of Stanley Park have not changed, although a proposal to convert the
    Isla Gladstone conservatory into a facility similar to Sefton Park’s palm
    house has now emerged.

    Cllr Berni Turner, executive member for the environment, said: “We are
    thinking about something like a cafe bar, which would be available for
    weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.”

    Rent money received from Liverpool, along with £350,000 a year from the
    council’s own budget, will be used to maintain the park and conservatory for
    years to come. The plans will be discussed by councillors at a meeting next
    week.

    The timetable

    JULY 25 , 2007 – this is the date that Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks says the
    revised plans will be submitted to Liverpool council, a month later than
    originally planned.

    OCTOBER 2007 – the council will then face a race against time to re-examine
    the proposals and decide whether to grant planning perm-ission. To meet this
    deadline, the club will have to make sure the scheme is not dramat-ically
    different to its predecessor in terms of capacity and impact on the
    surrounding area. The original scheme was approved in summer 2004.

    NOVEMBER 2007 – possibly the most crucial date. The government office for
    the north west will have to decide whether Liverpool’s plans should be
    “called in” for further investigation, sparking a public inquiry. This would
    delay the scheme by several months.

    Hi Paul

    Have I moved Mouse's post to the right thread? If not do you want to direct us to the thread where you posted the pics (I assume you might mean the "grainy" photographs you referenced up above)... in which case we can delete our last two posts, yours and mine. Thanks.

    Yes that grainy picture was removed off a load of forums at the request of Liverpool F.C,it's supposed to be genuine but nobody can say for sure.It's in the Liverpool's new stadium thread somewhere.

    It sounds like the miserable b#ggers on Liverpool city council are making Liverpool stick to the 60,000 that was aproved earlier.

    60.000 to start off with, but unlike the other design of the new stadium this one can be made much bigger over time.

    This new planning application was only ever going to be for 60,000, with the idea they'd apply again in furture for extensions. The council have hinted extra capacity would only be granted if infratructure improvements take place, such as opening a station on the freight line that runs cross Utting Avenue near Cherry Lane.
