Liverpool is now set to expand the available rail seats at the Kop end by 2,500, taking the total to 4,300, over the winter break.
This comes courtesy of liverpoolfc.com and this move is reported to come amid fan safety concerns due to “persistent lingering” inside the stand in question.
It has been stressed that this does not make the seats, or area, in question ‘safe standing’ and that fans attending matches are encouraged to sit down once key moments (such as goals).

In the interest of protecting the safety of the fans present at the matches, it is a move on the part of the club that we wholeheartedly appreciate.
Whilst we absolutely appreciate the club’s current view on security, we would also support the availability of such areas in the future if it would be feasible to arrange them according to current regulations.
For now, the test of the train seats can only be positive for the club and to ensure the continued safe enjoyment of football matches after the World Cup.
