Liverpool provide update on Anfield redevelopment after appointing new contractors
Liverpool have resumed work on finishing off the redevelopment of the Anfield Road Stand after contractors Buckingham Group went into administration.
The club have appointed Rayner Rowen Construction, along with several other contractors, to resume the final works which were due to be fully completed in October.
No new date has been set for the full reopening but matches against West Ham, Leicester and Union SG will be played with the upper tier remaining closed, after which time it is anticipated the capacity will be incrementally phased in after the next three home games.
“Work will begin now to fully assess the construction programme and Rayner Rowen will work swiftly with our internal team to produce a revised project completion programme, which will give us certainty on capacity and phasing,” said a Liverpool statement.
Liverpool will also seek to engage as many of Buckingham’s existing sub-contractors as possible
