#lfc anticipate that the Anfield Road stadium development will take 22-23 months to complete and to open in time for the start of the football season. So with work expected to commence next summer/autumn - approval pending - it will be open for the start of the 2023-24 season.
Of the (up to) 7,000 additional seats, (up to) 1,800 will be premium.
The proposal would see #lfc's overall "official" capacity increase to 61,015, split by:
Main Stand - 20,676
Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand - 11,348
The Kop - 13,024
Anfield Road Stand - 15,967
Main Stand - 20,676
Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand - 11,348
The Kop - 13,024
Anfield Road Stand - 15,967
The proposal includes a covered fan zone within the expanded stand itself. #lfc

There will also be a new "Anfield Square" / Anfield Plaza allowing for further fan personalisation similar to what occurred with the expanded Main Stand.
173 executive lounge, 1,627 hospitality suite seats as per the seating plan. #lfc

And how this all fits together. #lfc
And an interesting note: the app references ... "widening the use of the pitch for other team sports (such as American Football and Gaelic games)". UEFA comps are played on pitches of 105m x 68m. Anfield is currently 101m x 68m. Could this widening also extend to future bids?
Assuming revenue per seat of c.£57-£58 (note - RPS is match day revenue, not solely ticket price), the additional c.7,000 seats would add approximately £10.8m to #lfc's revenues on the basis of 27 home games (e.g. friendlies, 19 league, 3+ UCL, domestic cups), £7.6m EPL only.
That rough #lfc RPS figure of £57 is calculated by:
£84.21m (Match day revenue 2018-19) / 54,074 (18-19 capacity) / 27 (number of home matches 18/19), and, of course, assume fans will be fully back in stadia.
