Liverpool are to stage a public consultation into proposals to increase Anfield’s capacity to more than 60,000 by rebuilding the Anfield Road stand.
The European champions confirmed in August that plans to add an extra 4,000 seats had been abandoned in favour of a more ambitious scheme and allowed outline planning permission for the original development to expire in September.
Liverpool have now distributed more than 5,000 leaflets to Anfield residents inviting them to the first stage of a public consultation on their latest plans, and are asking residents, businesses and fans for feedback on a new stand that would raise overall capacity from 54,074 to more than 60,000.
Consultation events will be held at the Kop bar in the Kop stand on 29 November, 2 December and 3 December while there will also be a pop-up information stand in Anfield Road before Liverpool’s home games against Brighton on 30 November and Everton on 4 December. Supporters will also be able to submit views online once the consultation events begin.
