Introduction:

Liverpool have announced plans for a £60m expansion of the Anfield Road stand that will raise Anfield’s capacity above 61,000.

Features:

The designs, part of a public consultation exercise launched, are for a new 16,000-seat stand that will increase the stadium’s capacity by 7,000. A planning application for an extra 4,800 seats at Anfield Road was allowed to lapse in September in favour of the more ambitious scheme.

The redevelopment would leave Anfield’s famous Kop as the smallest stand at the stadium. Liverpool hope to submit a planning application in the spring.

The £60m cost is Liverpool’s target figure and could be challenged by external factors such as Brexit. As with the £114m Main stand, the new Anfield Road stand would be constructed behind the existing structure before being joined together to minimise disruption to match days. A fan park would be located inside the new stand.
