ANFIELD REDEVELOPMENT PLANS UNVEILED
The proposals, as part of a wider regeneration of the local area, would see redevelopment of both the Main and Anfield Road stands.
Subject to planing approval the club hope to complete the work, which would increase capacity to around 60,000, by 2018.
NEW STADIUM FOR THE IRON
The 12,000 capacity community project, which could include standing areas, is at an as yet undisclosed location near Glanford Park, the club's current home since 1988.
The scheme could also include 3 and 4G pitches, a hotel, offices, and restaurant.
PLANNING PERMISSION FOR CRAVEN COTTAGE
The plans, which still require a River works Licence, would see the re-building of the Riverside Stand in a scheme which would provide a new walkway along the Thames, and a riverside cafe open to the public.
SPIDERS RELOCATE TO AIRDRIE
Queen's are unable to use Lesser Hampden, where the club have recently opened a superb new pavilion, as the ground is also required for the Games as an athletes warm-up venue.
