Further complications arose when contractor Buckingham Group went into administration and a new construction group were needed to complete the works.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool are now growing in confidence the new upper tier will be at half-capacity for the visit of United and the following three home matches over the Christmas and New Year period, with it fully opening at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>The club will have to hold a test event to comply with council regulations that will need 3,000 people in the new tier. That will trial entry and exit requirements, plus fire alarm testing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/23\/14\/78162655-12784293-image-a-77_1700750744981.jpg\" height=\"421\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool released new photos of the almost-finished works two weeks ago ahead of a planned 2024 full opening<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/23\/14\/78162659-12784293-image-a-78_1700750749126.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Fans will get a chance to experience a partially-completed stand during December&#8217;s home tie against Man United<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Mail Sport reported in November that the stand was expected to be fully complete in time for next year&#8217;s heavyweight clash between Liverpool and Manchester City on March 9.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The two sides meet on Saturday at the Etihad in a match scheduled early on Saturday afternoon following a request from a local safety advisory group &#8211; which includes the Greater Manchester Police &#8211; due to\u00a0concerns over crowd trouble.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both clubs have written to their supporters ahead of the weekend fixture to urge good behaviour, with Liverpool&#8217;s message referencing missile throwing, and Man City&#8217;s highlighting the illegality of tragedy chanting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Both messages have warned fans that action will be taken against those who found to have misbehaved.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/23\/14\/78162445-12784293-image-a-76_1700750361735.jpg\" height=\"408\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool have played in front of a half-empty stand since the start of their 2023-24 season<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12784293\/Liverpool-set-partially-open-renovated-Anfield-Road-stand-crunch-clash-against-Manchester-United-December.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool are set to partially open their renovated Anfield Road stand for crunch clash against Manchester United in December Plans <span class=\"more-text\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
