Good points but you also need to bear in mind that the Kop has an xT ratio of 89.6%. For the Anfield Road xT rises even further to 93.4%. I understand from the planning documents that xT for the South Stand will be only around 13.4%. This has got...

Tbh, I'm not sure if that comparison with the Kop is using the original Meis design which was for 60k+ and therefore larger than what we have. It is also shown as a full single tier. So this is not really a true representation. However, it does...

Bully the same time as the goodison Road main stand? Difference is they were allowed to use cantilevers. Doesn't look out of place today.

Tbf the East Stand is just over 50yrs old now, with lots of speculation about its future redevelopment and/or even moving in recent times. Always quite liked Stamford Bridge.... obviously a bit too small nowadays.

When visiting the shop, we parked opposite the stadium on the dock rd itself, near the Bramley Moore pub. Might've just been lucky to get a space, but didn't notice any parking restrictions there.

And that modern option is primarily the car particularly when time is an issue for for a night match. Catching trains and buses after a days work getting home for your tea and then using public transport simply isn't an option for many. A big...

An entirely visual and irrelevant thing, more for TV; I really don’t like how the rail seating looks. That area looks half empty even when it’s full. Big contrast with the upper level and the “wall” effect isn’t quite as imagined. As a lot...

Thanks for the response. I'll probably be looking to get a ticket that isn't too high up then!

For a comparison with something you might be more familiar with, in the upper tier (approx 34°), it is just a few degrees less than the Top Balcony (approx 38°), and a few degrees more than the upper Bullens (approx 31°), but obviously with more...

I'm guessing this was the design for the sliding pitch and apartments? Thinking back to it, having a 55k in door arena would have helped the city a lot and stopped Manchester MEN Getting all the big acts

Tbf, always thought a modern monorail would be ideal for the waterfront and Dock Rd etc. A futuristic version of the old overhead railway running from Sandhills to Brunswick Dock. All very swish.... no traffic jams in the air.

Can't see why you can't bring a reasonably sized bag as long as you're prepared to have it searched.

And everything else around there of course. 👍

Exactly..... some of the new generation of these vehicles are 3 carriage with a driving station at either end. That would be perfect for this application. With the dock road handed over to them on matchdays and Bath St opened up to them for...

My worry is that these Gliders will have to operate on a circular route such is there build. If they want to be like a real tram/Rapid transit system, they should be able to operate like shuttles. Forward and backwards with no turning circle...
