Financial Troubles at Buckingham Group: Impacts on Anfield Stadium Expansion

08:45

Buckingham Group is close to declaring bankruptcy

Liverpool should have started the season with the stadium expanded to hold 61,000 spectators, but instead the second ring of the north stand has been empty and visibly unfinished. All because the company responsible for the undertaking, the Buckingham Group, is close to declaring bankruptcy. The company does not have the funds to complete the work, budgeted at €86.5m, and has difficulties in paying employees, which has meant that the number of men working at Anfield has dropped considerably. The capacity is then set at 50,000 seats, less than in 2022/23, and Liverpool is feeling the economic loss: in terms of tickets alone, the Reds lose around 470,000 euros for each home game. The solution will be to open the workbench in stages, as the sectors are completed. By Record
