How's the Emirates more of a Venue than a stadium? The place is magnificent.
And anyone who knows their footy, will remember that Highbury was always nicknamed "the library" so it shouldn't be a surprise that The Emirates is also quiet. It's the fans fault.
What difference does it make? Bank balance chocker, rename the Kop 'The Anfield Kop' call the stadium The Coca Cola Bowl, everyone will still say 'going Anfield' or 'going the match'. Whatever.

Not really got a problem with this. Many will still refer to it as Anfield anyway.

Yeah, cause all Arsenal fans love going to Ashburton Grove.
it'll depend if it's a new ground or not. if it's a rename of anfield then everyone will still just call it anfield - people call the emirates the emirates because it doesn't have a previously well-established name.

yup. and with the rumours rife with redevelopment rather than relocation, i'm not arsed if we're the ann summers stadium
Who cares what its officially dubbed, its the fans that make it what it is it's the fans that will ultimately cause the media to follow suit in 9 articles out of 10.

Is that a new quote then, as it would indicate they've not decided they're staying at Anfield?

Not sure.
I'm guessing it's from the initial statement/interview but who knows ?
EDIT:
Maybe we'll move IF someone wants to stump up a park load of cheddar ?
