12 images of Anfield Road as work stops

Following the news that development work on the Anfield Road End has been brought to a stop, the latest images show where the progress is up to.

It was reported earlier this week that construction work on the new stand had been halted due to the uncertainty around building contractor Buckingham.

The company have filed a notice to appoint administrators, leading workers to be ordered off site at the stadium last week.

It was confirmed last month that the stand would not be completed in time for the new season despite the club being granted a request by the Premier League to play the first game away from Anfield.

The latest news has thrown open the possibility for further delays, with no indication currently given about when the work will recommence.

An attendance of just 49,699 was recorded for Liverpool’s clash with Bournemouth, a figure more than 11,000 less than what will be the stadium’s eventual capacity when the development is completed.

Fans will be hoping for greater clarity on the situation in the coming weeks, but for now it is unclear when the work will continue and whether or not a new contractor will be appointed.
