New setback for £80m project and no revised opening date givenTickets for upper tier have been sold, including for derby
Liverpool have been dealt another setback in the redevelopment of the Anfield Road stand after it was announced the upper tier will not open until next year.
The £80m project to expand Anfield’s capacity to 61,000 has been beset by problems, with the scheduled opening for the first home game of the season delayed and then the main contractor, Buckingham Group, going into administration. The company employed more than 600 staff.
