Never comment on these, but I feel that I should on this one. Probably your best video to date. I’ve loved the daily and weekly videos of the stand, but this for me is the best to date. Well done, you have left all others trailing behind you with this exceptional video
It's mind-blowing seeing the changes. I went to Anfield back in April for the first time in about 20-odd years and the Main Stand is really impressive in person but seeing these pictures gives me an appreciation for the scope of what needed to be done to build it
Absolutely fantastic Kev , great research brilliant 👍🌟🤗👌🏻🍻, keep this type of footage going is absolutely fantastic again. UP THE REDS 🔴 YNWA Sparky 🍻🍻
Boss video!. I'm an Anfield resident and Liverpool fan, found this fascinating, it did highlight something else for me. Those beautiful Victorian houses were tinned up for years, the area blighted by the clubs policies, artificially running down what was a nice residential area. Even now there's large empty plots around the ground where perfectly good houses have been demolished and nothing built. The club has an attitude of "we'll get round to it when it suits our business need" meanwhile the area is left blighted. There needs to be some urgency, the club has a moral responsibility to help put the area back together again x
@@Kevcupo that land was given to the council by the club after the club emptied all the houses previously on that land. I reiterate I love the club but they've got a lot to answer for with regard to the surrounding area, Anfield gets all the downside to having a stadium: noise, congestion, pollution, rubbish and none of the benefits, there needs to be much more consultation and investment. Get Anfield station reopened (something that will have to happen before any further stadium expansion can happen) sort Walton Breck Road out, give locals tickets for the summer concerts at the stadium etc x
@@TheLiverpolitan the community has to make a stand like the Granby 4 Streets in Toxteth. Create a CLT, have picket lines at places you want to save, (best picket ever 15 years ago in L8... bizzies don't arrest elderly ladies who're picketing to save their community) protest about things that impact negatively. Maybe there are things already in place in L4. People power, people. There's nothing like it and this city is renowned for taking stands....and winning.
Fascinating video, such a lot of work to make it. I love LFC and the city of Liverpool. I wish Selhurst Park will be given some TLC one day. In 1978 I wished Palace would win the cup one day too! so I'm not expecting anything anytime soon. Thank you KC.
@user-mh7fr9dx9y. Years and years ago I lived in S Norwood and worked in Thornton Heath & walked past Selhurst Pk daily. They could always get rid of Sainsbury's 😂. Remember, to buy the houses off people will be four times as much in S London than it is in Anfield. That's a massive cost, plus imagine the chaos for commuting up Whitehorse Lane to Norwood Hill. It was bad enough 30 years ago. They'd be better off doing what Everton did and moving completely....
Lived in Lowther rd as a kid before moving to kirkby. Born in town and L4 was my roots. I got to meet Bill Shankly. Here and when he lived in west derby. Liverpool fc is in my blood". Nice video. Looking back was nice but sad too. Thanks mate👍
Absolutely fascinating, thank you so much, such a nostalgic trip down memory lane, started going to Anfield in 1971 in the Main Stand with my younger sister, Mum and Dad. Sadly they’ve all passed away now but every time I go now I feel their presence, can’t wait to see the forever stone that I bought, soon I hope, YNWA ❤
I guess if we are to expand the Sir Kenny Stand then we will at least have to say Goodbye to Skerries Road and maybe more.There is no doubt the Sir Kenny needs redevelopment but I think if it is to be developed to mirror the main stand then your probably looking at two streets disappearing die to right of light laws for the Residents but personally I want the Kop to be the next stand to be redesigned and enlarged..For the most football stand on world football it now looks so small compared to the other stands.It must be relatively easy to heighten the kop , increase the pitch of the terrace from 26% to say 36% and therefore get several more rows of seats on the Kop as well as redevelop the cornor between the main stand and Kopwhich hopefully would add a further4,000 to 5,000 seats to the grounds capacity and still stay within the current perimeters of a 66,000 capacity ground in the area without impact the current traffic regulations .
@Kevcupo yes you don't realise how much extra land LFC have required to expand the Main Stand and the Annie Road..I hear that Liverpool own many of the properties on Skerries Road but not sure if that's the same on any other Roads in the area
I think looking at the size of the main stand if your going to mirror the kds same as the main at least 3 streets would have to go you really see how big that main stand is now it's huge
Apparently we can go to 69,000 without impacting current traffic regulations according to Mo Chatra on his podcast. If the old freight line can be reopened & Converted to a train station would be great for fans & locals with less car traffic on match days. At present both Skd & the world famous Kop looks out of place, no symmetry. It would be quicker to demolish Skd & start again but our owners want the revenue to keep coming in. The club shop could be moved across the road with an underground tunnel so fans can get across safely whilst making it a bit different.
I don´t think it will mirror the Main stand, the club will go with another design, it wont be quite as big as the Main stand and it doesnt have to, its the MAIN stand for a reason. And yes expansion of the SKD stand will happen, it will just cost that much more to aquire the properties needed and rightly so, everything has its price and the is just so much more money in football and behind the top flight clubs now. The clubs dont have any rights to the land and properties around them but they have the right of the free market and huge amounts will exchange hands before this is possible, FSG wont own LFC forever, I think they will sell between 20-30% of the club within the next 5 years just like that other team did. Upgrading and putting in new transit links will also take a long time but Im sure the club and council will get there.
Loved seeing this video and the changing face of that side of the ground. When you see the volume of terraced houses acquired and demolished to make way for the new stand then it begs the question "why wouldn't they do the same thing on the other side of the ground", with Skerries Road and Wylva Road? It brings back so many memories of walking those streets as kids, in the 60s, to go and watch the reds with a bag of chips and a bottle of pop. It was less than 5 shillings to get in and even cheaper if you went in the boys pen.
That’s a brilliant memory Mark, the logistics of expanding the Kenny stand will be immense considering the backlash when the main stand houses were demolished
@@Kevcupo Kev, it would be awesome if you could do some interviews with older people in the community too and integrate them with the visual history. Like you living in the community from time....only you're young! I mean the real oldies who remember the days of leather footballs, (the ones that really hurt if you got in the way!). People like you are so important to this city. If we don't record our history, we lose it and it becomes what someone else writes, mostly anecdotal, which isn't necessarily an honest account.
Congrats ........... the best video ever you have produced .. coming from a lover of nostalgia and history. The proliferation of bollards (increasingly all over the country) is a sad reflection on the society we now live in --- preventing those mad murderous B`stards, intent on causing mayhem, via vehicles being driven deliberately into large clusters of people.
Hi Kev, what a great idea and you did it superbly. It's amazing to see how the area has changed and it's a great record for the people living near the stadium. Best wishes for the new year and please continue with the great videos, not just of Anfield but the interesting stuff you do from around the city, always something interesting. Happy New Year to you and your family. ❤
Fantastic video Kev. Fascinating to see how big the Main stand is now compared to what it was and the different views from the same spot over the years. That part of Anfield area looks so much better than what it did back then. Great work 👍🏻
😊wow what a change that is just imagine if google was around in the 80’s how much it would of changed from then to now. You can see how much it has changed from the early 2000 to now but on the down side just think how many families have had to move from the r for ever homes to pasture new just to create the mite Anfield stadium. Roll on the Kop expansion and the Sir Kenny stand , great video
Amazing the changes and how open it all is Kev, I remember that place you called an office was the club shop went in 1 end and out the other, stood 3 deep my dad brought mum and I European cup necklaces back in 77 and I still wear mind to this day. Really enjoyed that video please can we have more I love looking at the old stuff and sites x
Great Vid Kev, that programme shop at the back of the old main stand was once the souvenir shop, that moved to the Kop end when that was redeveloped and then that building became the programme shop……
Thats brilliant Kev....used to wait for Kenny rushy.jocky hansen brucie skippy lol etc in the main stqnd carpark and get their autographs. Remember the old souvenir shop and buying stuff the photos you could get of the players lol in the corner near the shankly gates. 😊💪👊❤
Mad that mate! I remember the old club / programme shop in the corner of the old main stand. Unbelievable seeing it like this in timeline form. Be interesting to see it from the Arkles side too. HNY to you
Fantastic bit of work today. Now can you do the hard bit and work out exactly how many streets would disappear if they do same to sir kenny daglish stand. Really enjoyed this video today. Thank you
Really fascinating and goes to show why it will be so hard to expand the SKD stand as they would need to go back at least 2 roads . Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year to you and your family
Brilliant video. Would love to see more of this. For me the priority for the club has to be further expansion. Only a matter of time before the Kenny is done in the same way, you’d imagine/ hope. It’s possible. The kop is the real challenge, but they have to find a way. I notice a lot of the buildings on the corner of lower Breck road and boarded/ tinned up by the petrol station. There’s a lot of possibilities for further expansion if the club have the ambition!
Thanks, KC, for this video. Will be able to imagine better the insane size of expansion if I know how many houses were demolished as well. Additionally, would you also be able to make a similar time travel video based on top view? Will be awesome. Thanks, bro.
Imagine youre living there in one of those houses, you open the door and have anfield right infront of you. Can imagine the value went up alot since 2015 when it was just a road "close" to anfield
Very fascinating video this Kev. Didn’t know this function was on Google street maps but my age does me no favours 👴🏻 On the one hand it’s great to see the stadium develop but on the other I wonder where the families went to? No doubt the club would love to do the SKD and Kop and the same would have to happen for SKD? The Kop is different and would need maybe a tunnel for the road?? Anyhoos, keep up the good work lad, always great to watch your videos
Really interesting video and as you say that stand must be huge to take up all that space. I can't see the Kenny stand or the Kop being expanded in the near future - too many peoples homes would have to be lost to achieve that never mind the road issue.
Thats brilliant Kev, it's amazing how much it's changed. Have you thought about doing Liverpool one / chavasse park area if the google van goes that far back 👍
Hi kev. Great video montage.. weird looking back isn't it? Re the group of people in the side st. I think they could have been filming something. When you panned across looking towards the ground. A truck on the right parked up. P.K.E. it's a outside broadcast and studio lighting company from Irlam near Manchester. I see them passing through were I live pretty regular
Brilliant that mate..can you do Hayfield Street?..my Dad lived at number 1 across the road from the King Harry Pub..its been demolished and is recycle bins and grass now..the other side of the street all the houses have been knocked down and is a grass triangle shape..be good to see how far back you can go..also you could never see the ground until you walked up Back Rockfield Road were you could see the main stand corner of the kop..streets all the way up to the Albert Pub..that would be very interesting.
It's weird to see how much it's changed round there from when we were kids.....shame decent well built houses had to be knocked down for big money business 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you KC for a really insightful video. I found it fascinating. I have been to Anfield on 3 occasions during the 90's twice in old main stand & the Anfield road stand. I my first ever game was Liverpool v Arsenal & was sat in the area I think was called the paddock. Robbie Fowler destroyed the best defence in the previous season in just 4 mins & 33 seconds I believe it was. I digress. Seeing how the area has changed so dramatically is quite amazing & a bit mind blowing tbh. Thank you for taking the time to put that video together.
Thanks Kev, one of your best videos yet 🙌 Do you know if the old houses were privately owned, or government housing? Being from Australia, I don’t know too much about what happened from 2008 when the houses were condemned.
I think it was a mix of private and council owned properties Shane. A compulsory purchase order will have been put in place for the privately owed properties.
Be careful if you go to the club shop , parked at ALroy road at the shop end . Actually off the road but was very lucky .just got back to my vehicle and a couple of traffic wardens appeared from nowhere sure they must have been hiding waiting to grab a few motorists unawherethat you should nt not park there
I new it took a big space but didn't think it was that big just goes to show it will take some doing to make the Kenny same as the main stand been watching your videos u have done brilliant 👏 is there a satellite map of the area before and after the main stand build just so we could see what streets would have to come down to build a new main stand on Kenny site
More of the same please KC. This said have you ever read the David Conn article dated 6th May 2013, still available to look up, titled "Anfield: the victims, the anger and Liverpool's shameful truth". I came by this piece some time ago and found it a real eye opener as it tells a darker side as to how LFC set about acquiring the properties mentioned in your video. I would be very interested in your opinion.
I’ve not read that particular article, but I’ll look it up. I do remember the uproar at the time though. That’s why further development could be problematic.
That’s really mind blowing as to how things have changed and it puts the scale of the two builds into perspective. When I went to the Arsenal game last Saturday it seemed really surreal looking at the new stand open compared to seeing it under transformation on all the drone pilots individual blogs, by the way Kev was you flying your big drone about 4pm ish over the stand from the park side ??
Great video, thanks Kev. Really interesting perspective, and well put together. I will be interested to see your follow up when the Google car goes down the newly realigned Anfield Road. I wouldn't mind a look at the other side. Can you do one of what would likely be needed to build behind SKD stand? I figure everything back to Arkles would need to be demolished. As a selfish Liverpool fan, I'd love to see it, but as a socialist, it kills me to see quality housing and peoples homes being demolished. I can't see them doing the Kop. It'd have to go two tiers to justify the expense of building a tunnel/bridge over Walton Breck Road. Would fans accept a two tiered kop? It wouldn't be the same. I was thinking something like the mega-terrace at Marseille maybe would do it as a sort of single tier.
How many homes have been demolished in order to create today's Anfield ? Serious question as I really don't know - my only comment is this ....faced with the same dilemma across the park, I'm so glad Everton decided to move to a brand new site, for numerous reasons .
@@Kevcupo it's a lot of relocation again..but it surely is a possibility..Kop far more complicated...heard rail link would need to be organised...but in fairness surely Govt could organise that anyway..its not like they do much for people north of the Watford gap
Never comment on these, but I feel that I should on this one. Probably your best video to date. I’ve loved the daily and weekly videos of the stand, but this for me is the best to date. Well done, you have left all others trailing behind you with this exceptional video
Thank you Derek, I really appreciate that mate. I’m just trying to bring different ideas to the table.
Please keep doing this its amazing seeing how much the ground has changed over time
Cheers Kev, will do mate

Ah right, I thought it was something along those lines, but I couldn’t remember
Boss video mate, miss the old road end from the late 70’s and 80’s
Thanks James, I really miss the original Kop
Great video Kev. Just shows how difficult it would be to expand the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand.

Great work as always Kev 👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks mate
Interesting video! Looks like the mainstand expansion didnt just improve the stadium but alot of the surrounding area in general!
It really did, the area looks so much better and brighter
Imagine youre living there in one of those houses, you open the door and have anfield right infront of you.
Can imagine the value went up alot since 2015 when it was just a road "close" to anfield
Yeah the view would be amazing
Very fascinating video this Kev. Didn’t know this function was on Google street maps but my age does me no favours 👴🏻 On the one hand it’s great to see the stadium develop but on the other I wonder where the families went to? No doubt the club would love to do the SKD and Kop and the same would have to happen for SKD? The Kop is different and would need maybe a tunnel for the road?? Anyhoos, keep up the good work lad, always great to watch your videos
Thanks Kev, yeah logistically expanding the Kop will be a nightmare
Really interesting video and as you say that stand must be huge to take up all that space. I can't see the Kenny stand or the Kop being expanded in the near future - too many peoples homes would have to be lost to achieve that never mind the road issue.
Yeah you’re probably looking at losing two streets to be able to expand the Kenny stand
Fascinating!
Thats brilliant Kev, it's amazing how much it's changed. Have you thought about doing Liverpool one / chavasse park area if the google van goes that far back 👍
I’ll be doing a lot like this around the city
Hi kev. Great video montage.. weird looking back isn't it?
Re the group of people in the side st. I think they could have been filming something. When you panned across looking towards the ground. A truck on the right parked up. P.K.E. it's a outside broadcast and studio lighting company from Irlam near Manchester. I see them passing through were I live pretty regular
Brilliant Stephen, that’s a really good spot
Brilliant that mate..can you do Hayfield Street?..my Dad lived at number 1 across the road from the King Harry Pub..its been demolished and is recycle bins and grass now..the other side of the street all the houses have been knocked down and is a grass triangle shape..be good to see how far back you can go..also you could never see the ground until you walked up Back Rockfield Road were you could see the main stand corner of the kop..streets all the way up to the Albert Pub..that would be very interesting.
Yes mate, I’ll be making a lot more like this
Interesting- hope they can expand the Kip over the road now 🤔👍
Dave C
We’ll take a look at that in the next video
Top notch video 😊
Thanks Dean
That’s was amazing to watch, I wonder if there’s an effect/tool to do a fade from old to new?
Well done and keep up the good work Kev 👏🏻
Cheers Tim, I’ll have a look for an effect tool to see if there is a more subtle change
Happy new year to ya buddy respect 🫡 from Eire 🙏🏻🇮🇪🙏🏻.
Happy New year mate
Excellent idea Kev great video 👏
Thank you Bob
It's weird to see how much it's changed round there from when we were kids.....shame decent well built houses had to be knocked down for big money business 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah it is, they could’ve all been refurbed like Tancred Road did
Great video Kev. Very interesting
Thank you Doug
I’d love to see more of these videos, Kev.
There will be loads more coming
I well done 👏
Cheers Rusty
Brilliant stuff KC.
Thank you John
Great timeline that kev just had a look on google earth shows the build birds eye view but not as detailed or yearly as this
👍
Yeah it gives a great perspective of location and time
Sound that kev. Its amazing how much has changed. Yeah defo do some more m8.
This is great kev can we see the old main stand plz mate
Yes mate, I’ll make a follow up
Thank you KC for a really insightful video. I found it fascinating. I have been to Anfield on 3 occasions during the 90's twice in old main stand & the Anfield road stand. I my first ever game was Liverpool v Arsenal & was sat in the area I think was called the paddock. Robbie Fowler destroyed the best defence in the previous season in just 4 mins & 33 seconds I believe it was. I digress. Seeing how the area has changed so dramatically is quite amazing & a bit mind blowing tbh. Thank you for taking the time to put that video together.
Thank you Jon, glad you liked it
Thanks Kev, one of your best videos yet 🙌 Do you know if the old houses were privately owned, or government housing? Being from Australia, I don’t know too much about what happened from 2008 when the houses were condemned.
I think it was a mix of private and council owned properties Shane. A compulsory purchase order will have been put in place for the privately owed properties.
This really does show why it’s near impossible to expand the sir Kenny stand the shear size of the operations is insane !
The amount of space needed is mental
@@Kevcupo Do you think making the Kop steeper like the yellow wall is a possibility?
Hey,. An idea for a video, on the houses that were between the anfield road stand, and Stanley park, when they were demolished, and why??
Thanks Patrick, I’ll keep that one in mind
Be careful if you go to the club shop , parked at ALroy road at the shop end . Actually off the road but was very lucky .just got back to my vehicle and a couple of traffic wardens appeared from nowhere sure they must have been hiding waiting to grab a few motorists unawherethat you should
nt not park there
Great job Kev - Happy New Year mate
Thanks Mark, all the best mate
brilliant video mate.
Thank you
I new it took a big space but didn't think it was that big just goes to show it will take some doing to make the Kenny same as the main stand been watching your videos u have done brilliant 👏 is there a satellite map of the area before and after the main stand build just so we could see what streets would have to come down to build a new main stand on Kenny site
Yeah it surprised me too how much space was needed, I will be making a follow up video to this covering the Kenny and Kop stands
More of the same please KC. This said have you ever read the David Conn article dated 6th May 2013, still available to look up, titled "Anfield: the victims, the anger and Liverpool's shameful truth".
I came by this piece some time ago and found it a real eye opener as it tells a darker side as to how LFC set about acquiring the properties mentioned in your video. I would be very interested in your opinion.
I’ve not read that particular article, but I’ll look it up. I do remember the uproar at the time though. That’s why further development could be problematic.
I agree, who will ever forget the saga of the Kemlyn Rd. development and the Mason sisters hold out!
That’s really mind blowing as to how things have changed and it puts the scale of the two builds into perspective. When I went to the Arsenal game last Saturday it seemed really surreal looking at the new stand open compared to seeing it under transformation on all the drone pilots individual blogs, by the way Kev was you flying your big drone about 4pm ish over the stand from the park side ??
Actually the time was 14.43 I’ve just checked on the photo the time was displayed
No wasn’t me, I think the stadium (John) and Greybeard were flying that day
Great video, thanks Kev. Really interesting perspective, and well put together. I will be interested to see your follow up when the Google car goes down the newly realigned Anfield Road.
I wouldn't mind a look at the other side. Can you do one of what would likely be needed to build behind SKD stand? I figure everything back to Arkles would need to be demolished. As a selfish Liverpool fan, I'd love to see it, but as a socialist, it kills me to see quality housing and peoples homes being demolished.
I can't see them doing the Kop. It'd have to go two tiers to justify the expense of building a tunnel/bridge over Walton Breck Road. Would fans accept a two tiered kop? It wouldn't be the same. I was thinking something like the mega-terrace at Marseille maybe would do it as a sort of single tier.
Thanks Tom, yeah I’ll make another one covering the Kop and Kenny stand. And the Kop can be made one single steep tier.
How many homes have been demolished in order to create today's Anfield ? Serious question as I really don't know - my only comment is this ....faced with the same dilemma across the park, I'm so glad Everton decided to move to a brand new site, for numerous reasons .
I’d say a few hundred looking at what had to be demolished
Hi kcimages can l ask you a question can you do behind the Sir Kenny Dalglish stand with the houses to see if you can take away the houses
Yeah I’m doing a follow up video
Didnt know thata a feature in google maps, thats so cool
Neither did I until recently
Good vid
Thank you
Please kev gives us more if you can and if you can of the Sir kenny stand from a single tier to a double tier stand if its possible.
Kenny stand was done in 1992 Andy, it doesn’t go that far back. I can show the development from another angle though
Need to do this when the Kop and Centenary get done.
Oh I will do
Was that you I saw stewarding at the Everton game last night looked like you pulling city players back YNWA ❤
It was me mate.
@@Kevcupo sat at home in Grimsby watching the game hoping for once Everton would win happy new Kev to you and your family 😀
Your doing what other premiership clubs are not doing well in kev like to see the spurs transformation
I’ll do some research in to it mate and make a video about it
Skerries Road next if Kenny’s stand gets done….
Could be more than just Skerries
So looking at that they'll need to go back to Arkles road in Demolition if they're to mirror the stands up
Yeah I’m going to do a follow up video looking at that side
@@Kevcupo it's a lot of relocation again..but it surely is a possibility..Kop far more complicated...heard rail link would need to be organised...but in fairness surely Govt could organise that anyway..its not like they do much for people north of the Watford gap
