Very quickly, can someone please answer me this:
I read that Liverpool Council will announce it has given the go-ahead for a series of compulsory purchase order consultations on houses that would need to be demolished in order that Anfield can be made bigger.

Now I know that announcing & doing having been dragged through the courts by every one of those house owners is very different, but in principle, why couldn't we do the same at Loftus Road to increase capacity there?
Is it different in London? |  |

Can't we just send round Gianni's teams? They did a good job on the Unigate Dairy. |  |

With the house prices the way they are in w12, it would be cheaper to build a new stadium.
The houses round anfield probably cost about 50p |  |

Wasn't there only 1 householder behind the Centenary Stand that was refusing to sell up some years ago? Maybe they've died or sold up leaving LFC free to extend the Centenary Stand.
Ellerslie Rd has a lot more houses owned by private individuals and are probably more expensive to buy than in Liverpool. |  | | |

Anfield is a seriously poor area. I saw a programme on TV a few months ago and youths would burn houses down on a regular basis just 'cos they were bored.
When they rebuilt one of the stands behind the goal (what used to be the away end) at Goodison Park and when Blackburn rebuilt Ewood Park, both clubs demolished whole streets. They could afford to because it was cheap to do, especially back then.
As others have said, it would cost tens of £millions to buy so many houses around Loftus Road plus the huge amount of time to go the the process of buying and people having to relocate.
Just not worth it.

Im in Uni in Liverpool and Anfield is a shithole. Most of the houses around the ground are boarded up , shop fronts too. I've talked to Cabbies from Anfield who don't walk around there in the evening. It is up there as one of the worst areas in Liverpool. |  | | |

Liverpool City Council are desperate for Liverpool FC to get on with either a new stadium or the redevelopment of Anfield due to the effect the delay is having on an already blighted area. They've been moving council tennants out where possible, hence all the empty homes and the longer it's dragged on, the more the area has suffered with other residents keen to leave an area that's in such a state. The council see the regeneration of the ground or building of its replacement as a way to start the regeneration of the area, which is why they're keen to do whatever they can to move things on. |  |
