Thursday brought us promising news regarding the stadium development, an admission from the skipper and a potential change of transfer tack.
Major Anfield Road update
The phased opening of the Anfield Road upper tier will begin when Man United come to town next month.
The section has been completely closed so far this season following delays caused by the collapse of contractor Buckingham Group earlier this year.
It appears that the development is getting back on track, however, as This Is Anfield understands that the upper tier could be up to half full for the visit of our rivals on December 17th.
Expectation is that the capacity could reach 56,000 for the contest, before that figure rises to 61,000 upon completion of the project early next year.
Not a bad game for the phased opening to start and to get more fans into the ground, let’s give them hell!
