Centenary Stand Collapses! Anfield In Danger!

Liverpool FC's season couldn't really have gone any worse, but this morning they are reeling from the shock that part of the Centenary stand suddenly collapsed in the early hours last night.

A mild earth tremour in the Irish sea is reported to be the cause, as there is widespread minor damage to buildings all around the Merseyside area, but a previously unseen crack in the Anfield foundations broke apart to leave half the stand in ruins, and the whole stadium declared a no-go zone by officials until the safety of the other three sides and assorted other buildings can be ascertained.

Liverpool have yet to make any official announcement, but this catastrophe is sure to increase the long-standing calls for a new stadium.

Liverpool have no home game this week, but rumours abound that the return leg of the Benfica match will probably have to be moved to the nearest available substitute, which is good news for Benfica as the last time they played at Goodison they won 2-0.
