Gillett again spoke of his desire to one day sit on The Kop – whether in its current form or in its new incarnation as the centerpiece of the club's new stadium.

"I wish I had been on The Kop on Tuesday, but I was concerned it would be a distraction. We've acknowledged the importance of The Kop already since we arrived and it's clear why the new stadium must be designed around it.

"We'll try to have as many seats in there as there used to be when it was originally a standing area. That's our ambition.

"That was once 24,000. We may not be able to get that many, but we'll certainly go beyond the 12,000 we have now."

What this does question is that why Parry (and even Moores) were happy to disregard The Kop in their designs? Of course they don't have the money of Gillett/Hicks and i'm in no way questioning their love of Liverpool- but surely it doesn't take an American to spot how important The Kop is!! Either way, i'm just glad they have and i can't wait to see the new designs as i was never impressed by the old ones!!!!

Not only were they singing YNWA but they were also trying to join in with some of the songs taking the piss outta chelsea.

That was me, and its nice to see them joining in.

Alas they did not know the words to "5 times" they just put their hands up and mumbled..
