The proposal, submitted to Liverpool city council, envisages relocating 1,000 seats, mostly to the back of the Kop, while season ticket holders will be assigned to different seats.
โAn increase in the seating area of the Kop Stand comprising two โin fillโ additions at the rear of both sides of the stand creating 470 additional seats,โ the proposed plan reads, according to the Liverpool Echo.
โLFCโs owners wish the expansion of the Kop terrace at high level to be as unobtrusive as possible, to ensure that the expanded elements of the stand โlook as though they have always been thereโ.โ
The changes aim to meet the standards of the Accessible Stadia Guide before the beginning of the 2017-2018 season.
