I have read they want to make the new kop end bigger than first thought but at the moment they seem to be going ahead with the planning permission that was already granted.
This was in todays Daily Post.
Liverpool FC stadium work begins next monthTHE redevelopment of Liverpool Football Club's new stadium will start in May, it was confirmed today.
High level talks at the weekend between the club's new owners George Gillett, Tom Hicks, and LFC chief executive Rick Parry with city council Leader Warren Bradley and director of regeneration John Kelly gave the green light the multi-million pound redevelopment.
Work on the final legal agreements between the city council and club is almost complete which will allow work on the new stadium to start next month under the existing planning permission granted last year.
A review of the 60,000 capacity of the new stadium is being carried out by the Club and consultations with fans are already underway.
"We have worked tirelessly with the club and its new owners, and the final agreements are now almost in place to allow the work to start in a matter of weeks. A world-class stadium, fit for a world-class club and a word-class city, is now a real prospect.
"Our new owners have taken the sensible decision to review the plans to enable us to create an even better stadium that will serve the needs of the club and the fans for the next 50 years. Already, some very exciting ideas are emerging and we are working closely with the city council on the best way forward.
Today's announcement has effectively ended the possibility of a joint stadium with Everton, which Cllr Bradley had suggested was a possibility as late as last week though the hopes were swiftly shot down by Liverpool FC.
