Does anyone know what the final capacity number will be when this is completed?

Curious if we will be over 61,000 or just under like Arsenal

I suspect working capacity will end up being 59,750ish on the grounds you never completely fill a ground…(even if their ticks capacity is 61k

I assume they're going to finish the two general admission stair cores before they start erecting steel. They're keeping access clear for the cranes to install rebar and shuttering.

So topic raised in SSC about how they are seemingly using more concrete in the construction, the method of building does seem different to how they built the main. They are building concrete cores, stairwell etc then presumably they will build the steel frame around it. Is that just a development of a new building technique, cheaper, faster or just because it is a smaller stand?

It's a standard construction method. Concrete cores and lift shafts for fire reasons. Steel for the rest for speed. Choosing which way to go will depend on the project. There aren't that many new floor levels in the Anfield Road extension.

The Main stand had more floors for all of the lounges and other accommodation so they built the steelwork first and used shaftwall for the stair cores around precast stairs.



A good example of concrete cores and steel frame is the new Google headquarters going up at Kings Cross.

I heard an interview with the project director (I think) from the contractor, he was saying that he expects the steel to go up in the close season and by that point it will start looking like a stand.

Is the core concrete for safety reasons ie more fireproof or is it driven by other reasons?

Concrete creates fire separation. The alternative is some version of shaftwall around a steel frame. The choice will be down to a range of factors.

If there's a big package of dry-lining work like there was for the main stand it would make commercial sense to get the steel frame up, cast the floor slabs then do all partitions, including fire rated cores in drylining. After the column bases were cast there was no more wet concrete.

The Anfield Road stand has some drylining  but nothing like the quantity of the Mian Stand. I'm guessing the general admission concourses will have mostly exposed finishes. They've made the choice to crack on with the cores in a mixture of pre-cast and wet concrete.

Whether you do the whole frame in concrete or steel is down to cost and speed and there doesn't seem to be much of a rush on.

As with KGX1 pictured above, concrete cores provide lateral stability during construction (and in the permanent state). Taking the cores up first can be done without an unduly heavy crane and if a steel frame is to follow, it can be braced against the core. You can also build the crane off the core to load the steel but it's hardly worth it at this height.

The concrete core can go up as precast panels (generally sandwich panels with wet concrete poured between concrete 'shutters') or traditionally shuttered concrete or 'slip-formed", with a constantly moving steel formwork or 'jump-formed', where the formwork is moved up floor by floor (both of the latter relatively expensive for what this is and more suited to higher rise construction or where time is of the essence)

Drylining as fire protection is notoriously fiddly to get right and properly fire-accredited and therefore less 'robust'. I'm surprised if it's used for that in a big way in the main stand as it can get kicked to doll-rags with so many people using the cores in a stadium. But then I don't seem to recall seeing concrete cores in the main stand, so...

This stand and the main stand are going to be so imposing. Can't wait to see what the atmosphere is like on a big European night.  We are going to have both ends really noisy now - No "kicking into the Kop" perceived advantage - both ends should be as imposing.  Glad Klopp will be around to light the whole thing up.

Coming out of the ground on Saturday night you really got a proper idea of the size and scale of the construction in a way all the videos somehow fail to capture. Just seeing the stand now, and how far back the construction goes.

Lovely that...took my daughters the match when they were about her age, they loved it. My older girl loved Stevie G. We went on spec, but back then you could almost guarantee a couple of tickets from a desperate tout at face value (or even less ) at kick off came and went.

If we couldn't get in, we sat on the bench opposite the Kop by the bus stop with a load of goodies and guessed the score by the crowd reaction! Great days!
