Liverpool have announced they will add an extra 2,500 rail seats to the Kop before the resumption of the Premier League season.

The decision comes following a positive reaction from fans to an initial trial that started in 2021.

The club insists Anfield will remain an all-seater stadium

There are currently 7,800 rail seats spread between the Kop and Anfield Road stands but the club are adding more on crowd safety grounds.

However, Liverpool have stressed Anfield remains an all-seater stadium and does not have a ‘safe-standing’ area.

“Following a review of the initial rail seating trial last season, we will now expand the trial and introduce rail seating in additional areas of the Kop to further address crowd safety and persistent standing in line with SGSA (Sports Grounds Safety Authority) guidance,” said managing director Andy Hughes.

“The health and safety of our supporters when attending matches at Anfield is paramount.

“As we have said before, it is essential that we listen to the experts and deliver their recommendations to address this important safety issue.”

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
