Liverpool are pressing forward with their plans to extend the famous Anfield Road stand having staged their second public consultation earlier this week. The club invited a number of local residents, representatives, businesses and supporters to review their updated plans which were re-shaped based on the feedback received (via the club’s official website).
The proposed extension will take the Anfield capacity above 61,000 and will make the famous Kop end the ground’s second smallest stand (as per The Guardian). Here’s what the supporters have made of the plans with some even making some requests and suggestions of their own.
Should the club look to extend the famous Kop stand?
Yes
No
Hopefully it will be easier to get tickets because its near impossible?

Any chance of the season ticket waiting list having atleast 3000 knocked off?

We need a stadium with over 70k seats make the Kop end stand the biggest stand in Europe.

A shout out to our owners FSG for turning our club around when we were on a downward spiral. What a time to be a Liverpool supporter. Let’s enjoy this magnificent side. A club on the rise again.

Just make sure the away fans are hidden from camera view – stick them at the back in the corner.

What do we think?
Liverpool are making all the right progress both on and off the field. Jurgen Klopp will take most of the credit for their on-field performances and rightly so but the owners have provided a base on which the German has been able to work his magic. The reigning European champions look set to win their first Premier League title and the sky is the limit for the Merseyside giants.
