Liverpool FC: an "ambitious" redevelopment project intended for the Anfield Road stand

"Liverpool FC (Premier League) today reaffirms its intention to redevelop the Anfield Road stand (see below) with ambitious new plans now under active consideration," announced the Merseyside club on 22/08/2019.

"As a direct result of this development, existing outline planning permission will be allowed to lapse in order to allow work to continue on alternative options with a view to submitting a new planning application for a larger scheme in due course," explained Liverpool FC.

Anfield currently has a capacity of 53,394, which the club hopes to increase to over 60,000. After redeveloping one of the two main stands (the Main Stand) in 2016 to add around 9,000 seats, the 2019 Champions League winners decided to work on the Anfield Road stand to gain around 4,000 additional seats, a project that should eventually evolve.
