[Now Sports]Although Liverpool’s rebuilt new stand was officially opened last month, because fans continue to stand on the upper floors of the stand, the club may be forced to reduce the number of people in the stand to avoid penalties. The newly expanded Yanfei Road Stand, which cost 80 million pounds, was opened to fans during the “Double Red Club” on the 17th of last month, allowing Liverpool fans to create a home atmosphere with the power of filling the whole stadium. The entire Yanfei Road stand The seating capacity can reach 61,000 people. However, in the three home games played by the Red Army after the opening of the new stands, fans continued to stand on the upper floors. This is not allowed in the Premier League, and there is concern that accidents may occur.
Two years ago, Liverpool set up safe standing areas in the lower stands and installed track seats for 13,000 fans, but the upper seats have not yet received standing permission, and fans who ignore the rules now may face penalties for the Reds. At the same time, in view of the Hillsborough tragedy that occurred in 1989, Liverpool is also considering whether to reduce the number of admissions to avoid similar risks again.
Last week, when Liverpool played against Arsenal at home, some fans ignored the advice of the security guards and continued to stand in the Yanfei Road stands. They also insulted the security guards and were expelled. However, in the New Year’s Day game against Newcastle, it is reported that The Reds have sent a message to fans, urging them not to stand any longer to avoid extreme joy leading to sadness.
