# Journalist provides encouraging update on Anfield Road extension

Liverpool’s plans to redevelop the Anfield Road end are still ‘on track’, according to the [Evening Standard’s](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/liverpools-anfield-redevelopment-on-track-despite-coronavirus-lockdown-a4399706.html) David Lynch.

The Reds’ Premier League title charge has been halted after the outbreak of illness worldwide, with no return in sight at this stage.

While on-pitch matters have stood still for the time being, off-field issues are still moving along nicely.

Lynch claims that, despite the spread of the current virus, Liverpool’s application for planning permission will still go ahead as planned.

The redevelopment of the Anfield Road stand should make Anfield an even more formidable place to visit in the coming years. [Described by Pep Guardiola](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/pep-guardiola-admits-anfield-atmosphere-16513451) as the world’s best atmosphere, improving the stadium will only enhance the Anfield experience further.

The new Main Stand has been a great success since opening in 2016, and with the Kop and Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand also impressive in their own right, adding to the fourth side of the ground is a mouthwatering prospect.

The Reds are growing all the time under Jurgen Klopp and this could be another significant step in the right direction.
