    This may be old news, maybe I missed the thread here:

    Liverpool ground plan re-approved

    Plans for Liverpool FC's new stadium have been re-approved by city councillors without any alterations to the original scheme.

    Plans for the stadium in Stanley Park, next to its current Anfield ground, were first given the go-ahead by Liverpool City Council in 2005.

    The club had to resubmit plans for the 60,000-seater ground to make sure they conformed to new planning laws.

    The club is looking for investors to help fund the £160m venture.

    Shareholders were told at the club's recent AGM that it could be four years before the stadium was completed.

    4 years is a long time, anyone got a spare 160m then?

    Every time I read about English clubs building stadiums like this I wonder why it costs €150 million more to build a stadium in Ireland with 10,000 less capacity.

    I hope it will be built in such a way that it is relatively straight forward to increase the capacity - without having to go through this kind of debacle again.

    Rick Parry has already stated a couple of times that it will not be built in a way in which it's capacity could be increased.

    This might be a Liverpool decision, or it might be a lot to do with planning law, and the infrastructure in the area not being designed to cope with much more than a 60,000 seater stadium..
