Penyokong Liverpool FC Malaysia

Demolition work has begun on the houses immediately behind Anfield’s Main Stand ready for the proposed expansion of Liverpool’s stadium.

Houses on the side nearest the Main Stand on Lothair Road are currently being cleared and knocked down in readiness for the proposed expansion that will see the stand’s capacity rise from 12,237 to 20,538.

Eventually all houses on both sides of Lothair Road will be knocked down, along with houses on the east side of Alroy Road and a small number of houses on Anfield Road and Rockfield Road. This work is being carried out by Liverpool City Council, not the Football Club, as part of the Anfield Regeneration Scheme.

Liverpool submitted the planning application for the expansion, which forms phase one of a two-part project, earlier this week and hope that work can begin later this and be completed in time for the start of the 2016/17 season. The new Main Stand will take Anfield’s overall capacity to approximately 53,783.

Of the 20,538 seats, 15,910 will comprise general admission, with 4,628 new premium seats.

Once complete, the work will see a large open space outside the new Main Stand and all perimeter fences around the whole stadium will be removed.

Phase two of the project will see the Anfield Road Stand expanded from 9,074 seats to 13,860 – taking Anfield’s overall capacity to approximately 58,569.

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has spoken openly at a pre-World Cup press conference about the positive spirit Brendan Rodgers has instilled at Anfield.

Youth doesn’t phase Sterling as Gerrard relishes Suarez World Cup absence

Gerrard, along with fellow Reds Glen Johnson, Daniel Sturridge, Rickie Lambert, Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling, are just over a week away from their opening World Cup again against Italy in Brazil.

After a phenomenal season full of passion and positive mental attitude, Gerrard is hoping to carry the momentum over to his international career.

Speaking in Miami ahead of Saturday’s final World Cup warm-up friendly against Honduras, Gerrard is quoted on LiverpoolFC.com as saying, “You have to give huge credit to the manager.

“He came in, a young manager taking a huge job – and to have the impact he’s had in such a short space of time is phenomenal really.

“I’m enjoying every minute working with him, he’s a top manager, a top bloke; I’m skipping into work, enjoying training, and I think every player’s the same.

“You can see it in our performances – everyone’s expressing themselves, playing with confidence and belief. He takes the fear away from you as a player. You’re not scared to make mistakes under him because you’re playing the exact way he wants you to play.

“His first six months was obviously everyone getting used to him but as soon as the message got across to the team, I think we’ve carried it out really well over the last 18 months.”
