Opening of £80m stand already behind scheduleBuckingham are expected to continue working
The redevelopment of Liverpool’s Anfield Road stand is facing further complications with the main contractor set to go into administration. Liverpool announced last month that their £80m stand was behind schedule and would not be fully open for the first home game of the season against Bournemouth on Saturday. The club has now been notified that Buckingham Group, the main contractors on the delayed project, has applied to enter administration.
Liverpool expect Buckingham to continue work on the planned phased opening of the stand, which will increase the capacity to 61,000, but it remains to be seen whether the contractor can meet the rearranged schedule completion date of October.
