Does this mean Kop and KDS expansion at Liverpool F.C’s Anfield Road Expansion Update 

If the expanded the kemlyn road and kop I don't want corporate seat's in the kop just more seats for ordinary local fans

Congratulations on your work, I'm a Liverpool fan from Brazil 👏👏👏👏

Gliders is built by Van Hool and used in Belfast they are a hybrid vehicle and run on roads no track etc required

Great video Kev, trackless trams or road trains are used extensively over here. The biggest users are at the theme parks at Disney world in Florida. An engine (tractor) pulling a series of passenger cars behind it and they can get very long and move large amounts of people quickly.

We have the gliders here in belfast .just a tram on wheels, lol it will inly work if you have bus lanes in Liverpool.

I think it’s important for the city of Liverpool to get a rail or tram link from lime st to Anfield & Goodison Goodison could be rebuilt into a modern 25,000 seater stadium for the Everton & Liverpool women’s to share with the biggest games being played at Anfield & Bramley Moore. This would also enable FSG to increase the SKD stand & the kop as you stated

The road remains fenced off except for match days until all the snagging work is complete,hopefully all that exterior snagging works and the last few bits of cladding etc will be complete by mid May at the very very latest. I really dont know why they cant open up the forever stones area now and just fence off the rest ofthe road area which is directly behind the stand if they have to ensure safety building site standards until all work is completed

Thank you kev. Another great update . Stay safe .YNWA 🙏

I now live in the South West, near the City of Bath, and "bendy buses" did operate in the City, though I can't recall seeing any for some time. They a literally two single decker buses joined together by a concertina middle section.

Hi Kev, great video. It seems they still have to repair the black railings that they removed .

Great news if it comes off about making our mighty Kop even mightier!!😊🤞🤞🤞I've shared this video on my group Kev,,(YNWA❤) & asked people to subscribe to yours.Thanks.YNWA🔴👏👏👏

The club might do something to fill in the sides of the Kop, but can't ever see it being 'expanded'. Same with the KDS. There's enough homes & businesses been lost to ground expansions & there's gotta be a limit to that now. Anfield is primarily a residential area & a football stadium second. The potential for trams, I believe, is because the previously proposed re-opening of a train station by the cemetery, would be too expensive & cause too much disruption locally. Great vids mate...👍

As a few have mentioned Glider is used in Belfast. They are bigger than a bendy bus an operate as a rapid transit system using dedicated bus lanes. They speed through traffic quicker than busses and operate here on specific routes. A good example would be from the Airport to the city centre and back. Trouble is they cause a build up in traffic for cars as they use up a lane.

Cheers Kev. Yeah I'm from Belfast and we have those 'Gliders' - they are basically a bendy bus with covers of the wheels 🙈🤣👍⚽️

Cheers Kev. Just wondering if you get a close look at the Annie/Main stand corner next time you up there. Particularly around the strip just to the right of the scaffolding on the roof. Few leaks from the ceiling in AU7 last night around rows 13 to 16. The trackless trams sounds like a good idea. I don’t think some big stadiums have a working train station ie Utd? They do have trams though.

Great video as always Kev👍

The ideal solution would be this:- 1)4 big stands, maybe big corners. With plenty of "breathing space" around ie landscaping and stores/leisure facilities. 2)A Kop that allows small concerts eg 22k or 25k. 3)Transport via rail tunnels (from Sandhills, city centre and Bootle line) and road via the Stanley Park side. This could mean many events at Anfield without local residents even noticing visitors. 4)Perhaps even a retractable roof. (Would allow a wide range of regular events outside of matchday too). 5)Weekday Anfield is a possible park and ride to the city centre (using Stanley Park). 6)Anfield and surrounds become a thriving, prosperous area with many jobs available and many facilities. Unlike the desert it is currently. Currently, its a complete myth that Anfield has been regenerated. Infact with those completely unsuitable new houses, the area went backwards in many ways! The music industry wants stadium events all year long, and there is certainly the demand for it. Anfield would be set as the Wembley of the North. Financially a very sensible project. And great for the city, the North of England and most importantly for the fans.

Great video ,can iask you abt the closed railway station,,if they do ever do more expansion,,they will have to reopen that line and how far is from the ground ,,well done today KC

mine's in FAGAN A apparently...but living in Berlin my chances of seeing it in person any time soon are somewhat slim...would be great if you could seek it out for me if you get time!

How does trackless trams work? Trackless Trams are a new sustainable form of public transport. They run on rubber tyres instead of steel tracks and the ride is smooth due to stabilising technology in the suspension. They are guided by a digital rail with sensors built into the road surface.

I get the bus in to the 917 bus in to the City Centre now and it’s getting so much busier since the new stand expansion. So a further expansion would definitely need a much better transport set up and much more parking

Glider seating capacity circa 105 Bus seating capacity circa 47 -57, dependent on model. Double decker capacity circa 70 -120, dependent on model. Volvo Gran Arctic 300 can seat 300 passengers... tho i would be suspicious as to how such a large vehicle would be able to operate around the Anfield area. I would like to think there was some ability to create a new rail link. I think there is an old disused freight rail station about a mile from Anfield, but you probably would have more knowledge about that Kev and if the Council are exploring the possibilities around getting that back in use for passenger trains?

My stones are in Houllier f, they are top sections with liverbirds stones in place which you've probably seen now xx

The Kop looks so small now, I just can't see how we can add more than about 5,000 seats at best to the ground though, Breck Road can't be affected and those residents behind SKD stand won't budge.

All they need to do for the Kop is demolish it and rebuild it at a steeper angle to get a couple of thousand more seats in without encroaching on to Walton Breck Road

.... and that brings us back to what I said about your suggestion as to what Anfield Square should be used for... I said, for a Bus Station!

Trolley buses used to be known as trackless, at least in Nottingham, by my dad.

I don't think it's transport that has to be on a track. Its the ability to disperse all those thousands and thousands of extra fans in a timely manner. So whether that's a fleet of electric buses etc. It's part of an integrated transport plan.

Hey Kev, nice meeting you in the park today, keep up the great work mate 👌🏻

In many towns & certain cities I’ve noticed double decker buses are a rarity, being replaced by single deck buses or bendy buses which, are only good for extra capacity & getting tight corners. Problem is they have been replacing double deckers for cost.

There is a concept of dedicated roads with high kerbs and the 'track less trams' have special wheels which slit in between these.

First, I thought there was going to be benches near the forever stones. Secondly, I am completely confused between the connection of expanding Anfield and the trackless trams. You have houses and roads behind the two smaller stands. If anyone could enlighten me I’d appreciate it 👍

Trackless trams seem big in Australia etc. A good video on RU-vid re: Stirling a city in Australia that is in line to get them. Apparently can operate on existing roads with minimal fuss.... Let's face it though, as much as Liverpool say this is end to expansion, they have to expand to keep up with united, city, Newcastle etc who are all watching what we've done and are planning to do....

My stone apparrantly is in McKenna A Fagan F Is where the 2nd Liver Bird Plaque currently Sits. I guess Joe is getting a Bench or a plaque the other Liver Bird plaque is to be replaces with a Houllier plaque or Bench

One development I would love to see is the Club build new boundary walls on both sides of Back Rockfield Road, the ubiquitous "dog s***alley" from the King Harry to the Kop. And for a continuous mural, painted on both sides, depicting the history of the Club.

I got my email too about my forever stone. Mines in fagan D area. Hopefully we'll be able to visit soon. 🤞🇮🇪

To expand the stadium beyond the new capacity they need to put in place better public transport infrastructure, trams or having a train station within one mile of the ground. This could mean reopening Walton & Anfield railway station, a line that is now used for freight north of Anfield. To expand the Kop you have the problem of the A5089 (which you can't close or reroute, also it has a church the other side of the street). With the KDS you have a problem with the residents living behind that stand. If expansion was to happen then the KDS stand is the most likely, but the amount of bad feeling and the cost of that expansion for the gain in ticket revenue might not be worth it.

One final point on future redevelopment of the Anfield stadium, is that something must be done to reinstate the focus of the Shankly Gate, they really do look out of place now and somewhat forlorn.

Back in the 1930s buses with electric motors were attached to the existing tram overhead wires but had tyres instead of using tracks - hence 'trackless'. Diesel buses were cheaper and replaced the trackless in the 60s. Now old ideas are being dusted off.

Bendy buses or trailer buses are an increased risk to pedestrian safety, been already tried with some routes to Liverpool Airport, they were acquired from London transport for not much money, TFL got shut due to incidents of injury to pedestrians. Some fatalities too. Just LFC in partnership with Liverpool council to try and get around Fan numbers ratio to transport facilities to get fans too and from a stadium or public venue depending on the capacity of the venue. Will cost a lot of money to fix track onto existing road network. Maybe Liverpool council LFC and Central Government could come up with a plan to fund the implementation of a new tramway. Would be great for the city in general. Give Liverpool Football Club the stadium capacity they deserve, given their massive success over many years. On the same note, I think Everton have missed a trick at Bramley Moore, a Mersey Ferries docking right on the new stadiums location would be a great help in getting fans from Wirral to and from the stadium during match days and through the week as a tourist attraction. 👍👍👍👍 👍

Trackless or tracked trams would hold a lot more people I would imagine Kev

how do they expand the kop with the road in the way.. and the kenny stand.. with no room at the back.. maybe they just update them both to look more like the other two with out expanding it.. ?

Mines in the houllier section. The right corner section closest to the entrance to Stanley park.

Maximum capacity can only be 69,999. UK law states anything 70k and over needs to have a rail infrastructure near to the stadium footprint.

I think that Fenway Sports Group will do the kop before they decide to sell the club They set out to put Liverpool fc back where they belong with a top stadium..

Basically just a big bendy bus but for it too work there gonna have to work a route out with bus only lanes especially with match day traffic.

Kev there is two new plaques going in Forever Stones MEN THAT BUILT ANFIELD one for Joe Fagan & one for Gerrard Houiller hope this information helps

If Manc UTd want to spend up to 2 BILLION with a Wembley of the North, surely LFC and the councils can scrape a few quid together? Double decker buses would allow approx TWICE the capacity of a bendy bus "trackless tram" over a set distnace of road space. So surely double deckers would be a better option. Of course the best option is train links from the Bootle Line and Kirkdale/Sandhills. Then Anfield could become a true Wembley of the North. There is obviously demand for it already - jsut look at the high profile Summer events coming to Anfield.

We have these in Belfast ...they hold 105 people seating and standing ...

Hi Kev, Thanks for the info. My wife checked her emails and found where my stone is (she bought it me for our wedding anniversary last year). It sounds like my stone is in the next section to yours. Mine and my dad's stone is in McKenna A. 🙂 What have you done with your own stone?? Have worked how we can get in put into our patio.....

The Kop will be done eventually 5-10 years, no chance of the SKD stand being done though would take decades purchasing all the necessary properties

We had bendi buses in london but they was Scraped they had a lot of Accidents with Bike riders. And some just burst into Flames

Know it wouldn’t of been you or mister drone but someone was flying one near the main stand about 630. I thought it was a no fly zone when the crowds was about? The old bill plane was sending me dizzy also 😂😂😂

If they expand the kop they might only gain 4000 seats if its anything like the anfield road end, but if they expanded the sir kenny dalglish stand like they did with the main stand they would possibly gain an extra 8000

Could the club not transform the piece of land next to the club shop into a bus/tram terminus?

Should have just moved whole stadium back 40 yards to make room for all sides ..Liverpool need a 80,000 stadium..biggest supported club in the world shouldn't have a 62,000 stadium

As a lifelong red, I would love to see an expanded Kop and SKD stand. However, we have to be realistic. The biggest single obstacle to any further expansion is the cost. Unlike the Main Stand and ARE, it would not be possible to use any of the existing structures in an either an expanded Kop, or SKD. Both stands would have to be demolished and completely rebuilt to expand capacity. Add in the cost of acquiring properties and land, as well as obtaining the necessary consents / compulsory purchase orders / re-routing Walton Breck Road you are probably looking at combined coasts in excess of £400 million. When you throw in the loss of capacity / revenue during the rebuild, it would be beyond the financial means of the club.

If the club bought the land a bit up from the players entrance and build houses on it ,then give those houses to the people who live in the first row of houses that back up to the KD stand. they are not made homeless, they are staying in the local community and they get a nicer bigger house, Then demolish and expand. You could do a rail link across the cemetery from the rail line that runs next to the police station

Trackless trams is one thing but we still haven’t the space behind each stand.

Comitted to the content today lad. Drone vid and a match day vlog in the same day.

That’s not a T Mobile logo in the seats… any ideas what it maybe for???

They had trackless teams in another European city. They failed miserably. And cost the local people a fortune. However people don’t see that. They believe council spending is somehow nothing to do with they. But I know you have a labour council over there. So I can very much see them wasting millions on ‘trackless trams’

0:19 - ‘All the dogs flying around?’ 😉

may see you there tonight kev should be a good game

Is it just me or are there loads of damaged floor tiles or uneven or not even the right colour..

Swansea had those bendy buses, spent a fortune on road redesigns to accommodate, and then bombed them out after about 2 years.

The problem will be if they expand will the new seats go to genuine fans at an affordable price or will it be aimed at the corporate audience at exuberant prices 😢😢😢

Common sense dictates that further expansion is inevitable. If it is not then the £200m or so spent to redevelop only half of the stadium has been wasted.

Heavy on the adverts bro, took 2.5 mins before starting!😂😂😂

Until all the rooflines matchup the stadium will look untidy. Also, the Kop desperately needs bringing into the 21st. I am certain we will achieve a uniform stadium under this ownership.

You mentioned a rail link but Utd have had one since the 1970s abutted to their Main Stand but not used it…

Trams like Croydon, will do nicely !

Kop needs to be the biggest most imposing stand in the ground,currently it's the least impressive

A trackless tram!!! It’s just a bus 😂 they seriously need better transport links to Anfield.

So all it means Kev is they are putting a Joe Fagan plaque, which suggests they’ve changed their mind on benches. Kind of get why - they had fans for one of the turnstiles queueing back past where my stone is.

LFC should use what3words to locate the stones. I've put this to Everton to locate our stones at Bramley Moore.

We need to keep expanding, when we seat still we fall behind

Bendy busses were a massive flop and waste of money in London so they reverted back to normal double decker busses.

So expansion of a stadium depends on a f#cking bus that hides its wheels? What kind of council do you have in Liverpool? Is Hatton still in charge?

So lucky Anfield is stil there and they didn't relocate .Look whats happened to West Hams old Manner the Boleyn it's an absolute dump.

Got to compete with Man U, Barca and Madrid etc, so an expansion is needed to 70k plus

If they expand the sir Kenny Dalglish, stand what will happen to the Shankly gate

If you knew who drives what, then you could tell us who's driving in 😊!

Trackless trams 😂 A boomerang that doesn't come back is called a stick.

Club needs to purchase empty land around stadium so can build fan park restaurants etc and transport hubs then homes to relocate so KD can be expanded and KOP over Road.

Wait how does one get their names in the forever stones?

they are bendy busses, just another name.

Da fuck am I seeing a glider in the thumbnail?????lol

What’s going on with the piece of land that the club own ? That’s right of the kop from your view

Apparently the kop is phase 4 of expansion

No...there are houses behind the Kenny and there's a road behind the Kop. Simple as that really

See the grey bricks on the path are broken already

Hi there next time get drom up can please do some pictures for my husband please so can do some his bedroom wall

was the trackless trams announced on april 1st?

Buses. It's a bus.

They use them in China, where the tram runs on a digital sensor buried under the road.

Anfield is still 20 thousand seats to small due to the demand on waiting list

Be careful what you wish for, any expansion will not be affordable for most Liverpudlians. Any new seats will go to those that can afford/want "corporate hospitality" (rather than simple normal hospitality) before you wish for this think about the stadium in 20 years time, what atmosphere would you like to feel? Perhaps we will have big screens showing the flags that used to fly on the kop.. just to aid that corporate hospitality ticket price. By the way FSG will be long gone in 20 years time, what will we be left with. Their on sale price will rise if they have the right to expand. Happy billions for them.

A trackless tram? so a Bus.

They'll be able to claim another £50m plus to offset against FFP for this video...
