New Liverpool FC stadium designs unveiled

Liverpool Football Club has unveiled the latest designs for its proposed new 71,000 seater Stanley Park stadium, expected to be built in time for the 2011-2012 season.

Laing O'Rourke is set to build the venue.

The original designs for the arena, produced by HKS, were rejected by Liverpool co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett Jr, late last year when they ran £50mover budget.

Meanwhile Hicks and Gillett are thought to have agreed a refinancing deal which is expected to allow them to tighten their grip on the club, despite objections from fans.
