BENITEZ WELCOMES NEW STADIUM NEWSRafael Benitez has welcomed the news that Liverpool's projected plans for a new 60,000 all seater stadium on Stanley Park has been given the go-ahead by the city council.
Today's approval from council leaders for a 999-year lease on a slice of land in the city's Stanley Park, just 300 yards from Anfield, should allow them to have a new home in place for the start of the 2009 season.
The new stadium for Liverpool Football Club received planning permission in July 2004 and news was received in October 2004 that the Deputy Prime Minister would not call a public inquiry on the application. Since that time, work has been progressing on the conditions that have to be met before work can start on site.
"It's very good news and it's important for us to have a stadium with a lot of possibilities for our supporters," enthused Liverpool manager Benitez.
"We have the best supporters in the world and if we can have 60,000 of them in for every game at Anfield it would be better."

Das Traditionsreichste Stadion der Welt wird geschlossen.
Wird sicherlich ein tränenreicher Abschied von Stadion. 114 Jahre sind ne lange Zeit.
Wer einmal auf "the kop" stand, den packt das "Reds" Fieber. Da kann man nichts dagen machen.
