Progress in Liverpool's main stand development at Anfield

Liverpool have laid the groundwork for the expansion of the Main Stand at Anfield.

The Merseyside club are moving ahead with their stadium redevelopment plans as they look to increase the capacity of the famous venue.

According to Liverpool's operations director, Andrew Parkinson, they have already started the process of erecting the steel at the new Main Stand and revealed that the development is going according to schedule.

Parkinson told the Liverpool Echo: "Progress is on track since December when we said we would be going ahead with the Main Stand development.

"We've been doing a lot of the foundation works and now we're in the process of erecting the steel and that's all coming up very quickly.

"We're already at the stage where the new steel is as high as the existing Main Stand and that's within a week since the steel arrived. As we get further and further, from game to game, people are going to see a big transformation in front of their eyes."

It has been estimated that the work on the Main Stand will be completed in time for the 2016/17 season and upon completion, Anfield will boast a capacity of 54,000.
