Bigger capacity planned for new Liverpool stadium

LIVERPOOL’S new American owners are planning big changes to the club’s new stadium to significantly boost the planned 61,000 capacity.

Options are now being considered which could see the new Stanley Park stadium rival Old Trafford, which can accommodate 76,500 fans.

It is understood that George Gillett and Tom Hicks have not settled on a new figure for the capacity but have told club officials to start talks with the city council about boosting the Stanley Park stadium capacity.
