# Liverpool Appoint Rayner Rowen Construction to Lead Final Stages of Anfield Road Stand Construction
Liverpool Football Club have confirmed that Rayner Rowen Construction have been appointed to lead the final stages of construction of the new Anfield Road Stand. The Reds had to find a new contractor to finish the stand off following Buckingham Group’s shock collapse into administration, which had caused all work to be paused.
## Buckingham Group’s Collapse
The Buckingham Group had been contracted to construct the new Anfield Road Stand, but their sudden collapse into administration in August 2023 left Liverpool in a difficult position. With work on the stand having been paused, the Reds had to act quickly to find a new contractor in order to get Anfield up to full capacity as soon as possible.
## Rayner Rowen Construction Appointed
Liverpool have now confirmed that Rayner Rowen Construction have been appointed to lead the final stages of construction of the new Anfield Road Stand. This was revealed by This Is Anfield on Tuesday as one of the parties under consideration, and the club have now confirmed their appointment.
The top tier of the new stand will remain shut for the visits of West Ham, Leicester City and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, with official attendance figures for those two home games being 49,699 and 50,109 respectively. The hope is that the upper section can then be opened in phases, as was the plan prior to Buckingham’s demise.
## Video Showing How Anfield Will Look Once Complete
A video has been released showing exactly how Anfield will look once complete. The video shows the new stand in all its glory, with a capacity of over 54,000. It is hoped that this capacity can be reached as soon as possible, and Rayner Rowen Construction are now working to produce a revised project completion programme after taking over the project. Chances of meeting any new deadline have been boosted by the return of a number of workers to the site today, with many sub-contractors previously employed by Buckingham also being part of the project’s continuation.
## LFC Statement on Tickets
Liverpool Football Club have released a statement on tickets for upcoming games. The statement reads: “Our ticketing team will be in touch directly with those supporters who will be impacted. All general admission season ticket holders and Members with 13+ credits will continue to be accommodated for our Premier League fixtures. Further details on our upcoming cup games will be provided in the selling details when published on our website. Other ticket allocations across the board will remain at a reduced allocation in line with the first two home games of 2023/24.”
## Conclusion
Liverpool Football Club have now appointed Rayner Rowen Construction to lead the final stages of construction of the new Anfield Road Stand. This follows Buckingham Group’s shock collapse into administration, which had caused all work to be paused. The top tier of the new stand will remain shut for upcoming games, with hopes that it can then be opened in phases.
