Delays in the rebuilding of the Anfield Road End prevent fans from attending matches, which costs Liverpool money.
Against Bournemouth, Liverpool was scheduled to attract more than 61,000 spectators. The final attendance for that match was less than 50,000, and that number is not likely to increase any time soon.
This is due to the fact that the contractors, Buckingham Group, filed for administration, adding to the redevelopment’s initial delays. As a result, until a solution is discovered, work on the new stand has been put on hold.
The Liverpool may need to find new contractors to complete the project, so the next stage will be to see what steps administrators do.
The club is losing money while all of this is going on.
On the renowned Price of Football Podcast, Liverpool University’s Kieran Maguire estimated that the Reds would be losing about £750,000 per match with the ground in its current state
We may anticipate that Liverpool will now lose out on at least £6 million in matchday revenue because the work won’t be finished until at least late October.
The club will undoubtedly suffer some significant expenses, even with an optimistic completion date and without accounting for the cost of hiring new contractors.
In a perfect world, according to Maguire, the work could be finished and a full Anfield could open in a month or two, even if the Buckingham Group enters administration.
