Up to 1,000 seats are set to be moved at Anfield as Liverpool prepare to make new provisions for disabled supporters.
The current amount of wheelchair bays at the stadium stands at 195 but Reds officials are planning to increase that figure to 250 over the summer months.
Liverpool have warned that 1,000 general admission seats will be moved as part of the process, which will help the club meet requirements in the Accessible Stadia Guide.
Provisions for visiting disabled supporters are also set to be made with away fans allowed to sit in their respective section for the first time in Anfield’s history.
Structural improvements will also include creating new lift shafts, removing structural walls, recasting ramps to more accessible gradients and converting lounge space into raised disabled seating areas.
Andrew Parkinson, Liverpool’s Operations Director, said: “As a football club, we have a long-standing commitment to supporting our disabled fans and making changes to the stadium to improve their matchday experience.
“Over the past five years, we have made an incredible amount of progress by working with our disabled fans to listen and understand the areas that needs improvements that are important to them.
“The LDSA and Supporters Committee are fully supportive of our planned approach and the progress that’s been made recently.
“This latest redevelopment work means further significant construction is planned at Anfield this year and we are working with the city’s licencing and planning teams to ratify the proposals.
“Making these further developments this summer will see Anfield Stadium achieving the required number of wheelchair positions as stated in the Accessible Stadia Guide.
“The work will mean that some season ticket holders in general admission seats will be affected by the changes and we will work with them on finding an alternative seat.
“We will be in touch with those directly affected and we thank them for their understanding.”
