Rick Parry explains:

‘Because the Club’s new stadium is the catalyst for a wide regeneration programme in Anfield, it has been necessary to work with Liverpool City Council, the local community and public funding agencies to put together the whole package.

Milestones have been achieved:

• Barclays Spaces for Sport funding through LFC alongside monies from the city council have enabled a near-derelict sports centre to gain a new lease of life: with restored football pitches, new all-weather pitches, refurbished sports facilities and new changing rooms and a new access road. Anfield Sport and Community Centre Ltd. has been created by the Vernon Sangster Community Co. Ltd. and Anfield Youth Club to manage this facility and the Community Partnership Centre in the new stadium.

• The regeneration plan for Stanley Park has been completed including the restoration of the Gladstone Conservatory, re-branded the Isla Gladstone Conservatory after the textile designer, and to be managed to maximise local employment working with a new community development trust.

•All of the remaining derelict houses in Skerries Rd. have been improved by private developers and sold to local people. Liverpool City Council will be making the selection of a developer for the restoration of the houses in Rockfield on the Main Stand side of the stadium.

• Liverpool City Council’s funding bids to Objective 1 and the North West Development Company are in full financial and technical appraisal and other funds have been secured.

And LFC continues to be very active in the community through its Community Department –coaching, school assemblies and programmes – and the Reduc@te Centre.

There is still a commitment to build a new stadium in Stanley Park – to accommodate 60,000 fans in quality surroundings, with newer and larger museum, tour centre, café, shop and a café. Building should commence as soon as possible after all of the pre-conditions have been completed.

well, i watched the video and their don't seem to be many fans there!
a lovely design, i'm sure but its kind of strange that for years the stadium was surrounded by houses and couldn't expand and now the houses are being demolished the club is on the move.
and for me stanley park is a park, not a re-development site for a corporation. liverpool has more than enough re-development land without digging up the local green space. but thats another argument for another place.
good luck with the new stadium and i hope that when it is built mr parry remembers the ordinary supporter

Took a look..for about two minutes bored out of my skull.Nothing new in the design could be Wembley without the bucket handle,Bolton with different coloured seats or even the Emirates.No imagination by the designers just another piece of concrete and glass.What's the point?Sorry to be so dismissive but I've just watched Gladbach lose to HSV on Setanta and I'm beginning to hate football.

[DocHoliday]

Who will own it? The club or the the city? By the way, have you seen the blueprint for the new stadium of FC Valencia?

Ugly

[Jacinta]

Right, looks like graffiti

I think it looks quite interesting... Let's formulate it that way.

well the new stadium is nowt fab or at least it doesnt look special, but take the arena of schalke, it looks like a gym yet its one of the best stadiums in europe or maybe even the world.i personally would have prefered if they kept anfield road as the stadium but i guess one has got to go with the times and simply move on

not sure who ownes it, think partly to liverpool fc and partly to liverpool city council till liverpool have paid the stadium in full and then it will be property of liverpool fc.nah i didnt see the blueprint for valencias new ground, it looks like an ufo to me

Strange design ... however, our Borussia-Park doesn't look really nice from outside either.

Important is, what you see INSIDE ... and that looks impressive! Congrats on the new stadium! I badly have to visit my friend in St. Helens for taking a trip to the Anfield Road before it gets demolished...


Btw: I'm not happy to see Liverpool FC get owned by a tycoon too. Fans of such traditional clubs don't deserve such a fate, I think.
