Stadium: municipality gives the club a headache

Anderlecht really needs a larger stadium and soon. The municipality agreed with the enlargement under certain conditions. But those conditions seem to make the actual enlargement impossible.


The stadium cannot be as high as first planned, the parking garage has to be smaller and the new meeting place the club offered to build for the city as a compensation has to be more luxurious. This looks more the 'mission impossible', also because the municipality made a sport out of pestering the Anderlecht fans with the unreasonably high parking fees.

The club reacted more or less surprised with the objections of the municipality but they hope on further cooperation nonetheless: "We need a larger stadium and we need it now. It cannot wait."

In time, there will be no other option then to leave Anderlecht for another area of Brussels: "Belgium also needs a larger and better national stadium. There are some plans to erect on with 50.000 seats. I would be foolish not to move into that stadium in the long run."
