Arsenal sack Unai Emery with Ljungberg taking over as caretaker – live! | Football

The designs, part of a public consultation exercise launched on Friday, are for a new 16,000-seat stand that will increase the stadium’s capacity by 7,000. A planning application for an extra 4,800 seats at Anfield Road was allowed to lapse in September in favour of the more ambitious scheme.

Liverpool’s plans are at the draft stage and do not include details such as an opening date, whether safe standing will feature or ticket prices, although the majority of the extra seats will be general admission. The development depends on the success of the public consultation, a second stage of which is planned for early next year, together with the planning application and the financial viability of the scheme. The club intends to pay for the construction via its existing banking facilities.
