Seats are no better than Old Trafford neither where if you're over 5'11" you can't fit in the seats.
Those views from the side of the pitch should no longer be an issue with main stand expansion I think?
The severely restricted views at the back of the Anfield Road End could merely be left not for sale and there would not be a problem, right? Surely we're talking a few hundred if not few dozen tickets. Lets not forget Anfield is going to house 55k or so come next football season.
Its already a stadium in good condition. Anfield is not the nicest of areas, but it is not difficult to access via train or car. There are plenty of pubs around the ground too. It handles 45000 spectators coming - lots of which from the same direction most league fans will travel - pretty well every other weekend.

We might actually be getting somewhere with venues, according to this article the venues WILL, I repeat, WILL (apparently) by announced next month so we might have just a couple of weeks to wait. Also says that people can start to pre-register for tickets on Tuesday.

How on earth can they expect anyone to "pre-register" for tickets, when no one has any idea where in the British Isles, or when over an 8 week period the games will be played....?

Well I was thinking exactly the same but you know...
Some of the grounds they want, havent proven they can handle it from the POV of an international game. Some of the grounds that want it, are not on the RFLs "go to" list. Coupled with ongoing discussions on how the games will be priced = Hence the delays

Not really an excuse though is it, other sports manage to confirm venues and tickets for big international events a couple of years in advance and these venues could have been confirmed by now if they had simply started the process of looking for venues earlier like the day after the 2014 four nations for example. Inexcusable when every other sport manages to sort it out. The four nations is in 8 months and no one knows any details yet but we are 100% sure of the stadiums and locations for the football world cup in 6 years...
I'm struggling to see what the point of taking a Rugby League game to Anfield would be? It's not like it's a nice place to visit. Unlike the Magic Weekends at Man City and Newcastle where people can mingle outside the ground, this isn't possible at Anfield. The stadium isn't as good as those two anyway and closely resembles a building site at the moment.
Scousers have absolutely no interest whatsoever in any team game that is not football (RL has been tried and failed at Liverpool City and Huyton). So 45,000 people would be coming into the city from the M62. That would cause traffic chaos. For Liverpool home games thousands of people already live in the city, come in from the north end (Bootle, Crosby, Formby, Southport), come from the Wirral or are staying at hotels having come in from abroad for the game. As the only people interested in watching RL will be coming in via the M62 corridor, why not just keep it in Manchester or Leeds?
Totalrl saying that they are getting reports that final WILL be at Anfield and that Olympic and Huddersfield are getting games as well. Now we have also heard rumours of Coventry so that is 4 venues. I would suggest that another is Wigan because with huds there is one in Yorkshire and they wouldn't want one close to Liverpool if final is there so Wigan would be better with it being closer to Manchester and also a proven international venue. That just leaves the Scotland ground to speculate on and I think a few of us have been saying partick thistle.

By all accounts the Sco v NZ match is at Workington, Aus v Sco at Hull KR. With double header at Cov, Eng v NZ at Hudd, Eng v Aus at Olympic and Final at Anfield, there's your 7.
