Anfield: Liverpool to create more spaces for disabled fans

Liverpool are to "significantly redevelop" their Anfield stadium in the summer, to make it more accessible to disabled fans.

The work, scheduled to be completed by August, will see 1,000 seats removed, and affect some season ticket holders.

More than 250 wheelchair positions will be available with visiting disabled fans given places in the away end.

A 2014 BBC investigation found the club offered 45% of the recommended number of wheelchair spaces.

Current guidelines on how football clubs in the United Kingdom should cater for disabled spectators have been in place since 2004 in the form of the Accessible Stadia Guide.
