Overview

  • Construction on Liverpool's new Anfield Road stand has faced repeated delays and is now not expected to be completed until late 2023.
  • The previous contractor went bankrupt, halting progress on the project.
  • The upper tier was originally slated to open in October 2022 but work has stalled.
  • Liverpool says they will not rush to finish construction just to meet deadlines.
  • Arsenal, Manchester United, and Newcastle will see reduced crowds at Anfield due to the delays.
