Liverpool top brass are weighing up new plans to redevelop Anfield and increase capacity. The Reds are selling out the revamped stadium after developing the new Main Stand, which opened more than two years ago and increased the capacity to more than 54,000. The club have outline planning permission to extend the Anfield Road End that is valid until September 2019. However Liverpool CEO Peter Moore told the Liverpool Echo that they are now looking closely at whether that plan still works or whether it needs to be revised. "We are looking at a range of options to ensure we have considered all aspects before making any decision," said Moore. "These include working up design, feasibility, cost, capacity and economic viability options. "After that work is completed, and if there is a smarter design option that does not fit with the current outline planning permission, then we would submit another planning application. "Only once we have completed this comprehensive process and come to a … [Read more...] about Liverpool chief executive Peter Moore reveals new plans for Anfield
Why Harry and Meghan’s baby won’t be a prince or princess
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's baby, expected in Spring 2019, will not be a prince nor a princess unless the Queen steps in. King George V - Harry's great great grandfather - limited titles within the royal family in 1917. This means Harry and Meghan's first born, as a great-grandchild of the Queen, is too far down the line of succession to be an HRH. George V declared that: "The grandchildren of the sons of any such Sovereign in the direct male line (save only the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales) shall have and enjoy in all occasions the style and title enjoyed by the children of Dukes of these Our Realms." The eldest son and heir apparent of a duke can use one of his father's lesser grade peerage titles by courtesy, according to Debrett's. So a first son of Harry's would become Earl of Dumbarton - one of the subsidiary titles Harry received from the Queen on the morning of his wedding. A daughter would be Lady (first name) Mountbatten-Windsor, and any … [Read more...] about Why Harry and Meghan’s baby won’t be a prince or princess
Conor McGregor next fight date revealed by Irishman’s coach
Conor McGregor is unlikely to return to the UFC before next summer, according his coach John Kavanagh. The Irishman was soundly beaten by Khabib Nurmagomedov last weekend on his return to the UFC following a two-year hiatus. He is expected to be slapped with a ban by the Nevada State Athletic Commission later this month for his part in the post-fight brawl that overshadowed his defeat. McGregor has already asked the UFC for a rematch with Nurmagomedov who faces a longer suspension after he launched himself at Dilllon Danis after clambering over the Octagon. “I think summer is probably realistic,” Kavanagh told Joe Rogan. “We have to obviously see what punishment Khabib gets. Hopefully, it’s not a long ban.” Kavanagh also offered the day after St. Patrick's Day as an option. “It’s funny I was looking at March 16 [as the next fight] as Paddy’s day is March 17,” he added. “That’s a Sunday and March 16 is a Saturday so … [Read more...] about Conor McGregor next fight date revealed by Irishman’s coach
Apple acquires music analytics firm that claims it can ‘find the next Justin Bieber’
Apple has acquired Asaii, a music analytics company focused around the discovery of new and emerging artists, Axios reports. The acquisition comes as Apple Music’s main competitor Spotify is increasing its support for unsigned artists, who can now upload their music directly to its service. Last month, Asaii announced it would be shutting down on October 14th. Asaii’s main product is a dashboard that pulls together data from both music services and social media. This dashboard is advertised as having multiple uses, such as helping record labels plan marketing campaigns and live tours. But, its main feature is allowing labels to discover artists before they make it big. Asaii claims that its tech is able to find artists “10 weeks to a year” before they chart, allowing for the discovery of “the next Justin Bieber.” Apple’s acquisition comes as its main music streaming rival, Spotify, is expanding its reach beyond traditional mainstream artists. … [Read more...] about Apple acquires music analytics firm that claims it can ‘find the next Justin Bieber’
