I think we taking 2m less than Manchester United on a matchday (according to some research group at the University of Liverpool), so that is the gap we need to bridge. For all the plus points about staying at Anfield, I still think that we need to move, and it is true, we would never fill it everyweek unless we were competing for honours and winning trophies. Apart from Champions League matchs, the big ones in the league and prehaps cup games in the later stages we would struggle to fil it, I remember playing Pompey last season (Josemi's mistake and the goal that led to it) there was only about 37,000 there.
The time has come for us to move and for the club to start competing with the big boys again financially. It comes to something when Newcastle are flush with money and we aren't. The stadium would be a start, but remember that the board are not completely incompetent, they haven't led us down the road of doing a Leeds or left us at the mercy of a Russian thief, but we need new investment, and I trust them to look after the club's long term prospects instead of favouring a short-term fixes. We need to do something shortly otherwise the gap will become too great.

Good, never ever ever ever should we leave Anfield. If it means closing parts of the ground to re design, then so be it....

Firstly, Liverpool FC wouldn't fill a 60,000 seater stadium every week. We don't even fill anfield every week, those that think we would are deluded. Also, the ticket prices as they are now, are expensive. If we move i've no doubt they will rise even further. It costs around 60-70 quid AT LEAST to go to any particular match if you buy a ticket including travel and ale.
The other point is Anfield is home. Its legendary and the atmosphere is immense on european nights, its the best ground in the country by an absoloute mile. Its not round "modern" but its no woodison either. Its a classic English football ground with a fantastic look and feel.

Excuse me???!!!! I beg to differ. There are many people especiall the despised out of towners of which I am one who would willingly make the trip every weekend to watch the game but getting a ticket for a Liverpool game is like gold dust. I have seen LFC tickets advertised for as much as 400-1000 pounds on so called reputable sites and they are not even big games. I know people who have actually paid that kind of money. You might think they are crazy I think they are desperate. What you forget is LFC are not just an English club anymore they are a worldwide club of reknown with many admirers, Many of whom have not even been to the UK never mind Liverpool. It is now extremely difficult to see a game at Anfield unless you are literally one of the privileged few. In fact I reckon if LFC were to build an 80,000 seater stadium tomorrow there would still be people griping about not being able to get tickets.
Also if we want to compete with the likes of Man Utd, Newcastle Barcelona (90 000+) Real Madrid, AC Milan/Inter Milan etc we need a bigger stadium. As for the Atmosphere, LFC fans are the best in the world it would'nt matter what type of stadium was built we'd still make our presence felt.
