The atmosphere at Anfield has weakened? Liverpool will have to play in a stadium with limited capacity for half of the 2023/24 season

Due to the ongoing stadium renovations, Liverpool will be obliged to play the rest of the season at Anfield with a smaller stadium.

WHAT OCCURED? According to Daily Mail, because redevelopment work is being done in the upper tier of the Anfield Road Stand, the Reds are being obliged to limit the stadium’s seating to 51,000. The renovation won’t be finished until the end of this year, which is 2024.

 

WHO SAID WHAT? “I certainly want to thank all of our supporters for their patience and understanding while we navigate through the situation, which as I mentioned has been incredibly challenging over the last few months,” Billy Hogan, our chief executive, said in a statement.

“We’re going to have to keep things as they are for the rest of the year until we have visibility of all the necessary facts. In essence, this means that Anfield’s seating capacity will be the same as it has been for the home games so far this season. Until the end of the calendar year, the lowest tier of the stand will remain open, and the upper tier will remain closed.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The stadium redevelopment project, which cost £80 million ($98 million), started in 2021 and was supposed to be finished by the start of the 2023–24 season. The work was further delayed by a change of contractors, and the next tier won’t be accessible until the following year.

THEN WHAT? Before their next game at home against Everton on October 20, Liverpool will get in touch with the supporters who purchased tickets for the Anfield Road stand’s upper tier to find a solution.
