When the 300-tonne roof truss was lifted on top of the Anfield Road development last month, it was the most visibly striking moment of the construction work so far.
For Liverpool, the £80m development is to form a vital aspect of their revenue generation moving forward, increasing the capacity of Anfield by 7,000 seats to 61,000, helping them satisfy the enormous demand for tickets to watch Jurgen Klopp's team.
After the pandemic and the shuttering of stadiums saw matchday revenue for the Reds, which sat at around £84m in 2018/19, significantly impacted. But with stadiums open and fans back in their numbers once again, any fears have been allayed and Liverpool could well be on course to achieving matchday revenues in excess of £100m in the near future.
