A group of primary school children from Anfield have made history by becoming the first set of Liverpool fans to officially sit in the expanded Anfield Road Stand.
It’s 18 months since work began on the ambitious development of Anfield Road, which will open in time for next season and increase stadium capacity to 61,000.
The first set of seats have now been installed – a major milestone in the ongoing building project – and six pupils from Four Oaks Primary School, based in the shadow of Anfield, were specially chosen to mark the occasion.
The squad of eager supporters, 10-year-olds Charlie and Antonio, plus Ismail, Wendy, Ruby and Ella, all 11, climbed to the top of the newly expanded third tier to sit on the freshly positioned seats and gain a glimpse of the view that fans will enjoy from next season.
