What will the new Anfield Road Stand look like?

From the club's official website, the computer-generated images look pretty spectacular. The design suggests that the larger stand is set to be just as tall as the recently-completed Main Stand. The new Anfield Road end will add a further 5,200 seats - taking the overall capacity to over 61,000.

What is the latest on the Anfield Road development?

Unfortunately for Liverpool fans, the expansion has been subject to severe delays, with the top tier of the stand remaining closed for the Reds' opening Premier League matches.

Construction stopped last month as news broke that Buckingham Group Contractors had filed for administration. Footage circulated of workers leaving the site, and it was confirmed on Tuesday that the company had fallen into administration.

However, a new report from This is Anfield has revealed that work could get back underway soon now that the club has regained control of the site. The report states that workers could even return to the stadium to continue construction as early as today.

Liverpool will want to appoint a new contractor as soon as possible, so that the stadium is at full capacity for upcoming fixtures as soon. This is Anfield report that they are aiming to retain as many of Buckingham's existing subcontractors and staff to guarantee a smooth transition in the construction process.

When will the new Anfield Road stand open?

At the time of writing, an official opening date has yet to be announced by the club. However, despite all the delays and the search for a new contractor, BBC Sport have reported that they are hoping to complete the expansion of the new Anfield Road stand by October.

How does this impact Liverpool's 2023/24 fixtures?

Construction delays have already had an impact on their start to the season. Before the new Premier League fixtures were announced in June 2023, as reported by BBC Sport, the club requested that their first game of the season to be played away from Anfield. The Reds' wish was granted, with a trip to Chelsea ending in a 1-1 draw.

Further delays meant that both of Liverpool's home games against Bournemouth and Aston Villa were played with a reduced capacity, with only the lower tier of the Anfield Road stand open to supporters. Assuming that construction will not conclude until October, that will mean Liverpool's home matches against West Ham and Leicester will be played with a reduced capacity after the international break.
