#lfc anticipate that the Anfield Road stadium development will take 22-23 months to complete and to open in time for the start of the football season. So with work expected to commence next summer/autumn - approval pending - it will be open for the start of the 2023-24 season.

Of the (up to) 7,000 additional seats, (up to) 1,800 will be premium.
The proposal would see #lfc's overall "official" capacity increase to 61,015, split by:

Main Stand - 20,676
Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand - 11,348
The Kop - 13,024
Anfield Road Stand - 15,967
The proposal includes a covered fan zone within the expanded stand itself. #lfc
The "exploded" view of what the redeveloped Anfield Road stand would look like by level. #lfc
A non-match day illustration/view of what Anfield Road would look like. #lfc
There will also be a new "Anfield Square" / Anfield Plaza allowing for further fan personalisation similar to what occurred with the expanded Main Stand.
173 executive lounge, 1,627 hospitality suite seats as per the seating plan. #lfc
Plans per stand "level". #lfc
And how this all fits together. #lfc
And an interesting note: the app references ... "widening the use of the pitch for other team sports (such as American Football and Gaelic games)". UEFA comps are played on pitches of 105m x 68m. Anfield is currently 101m x 68m. Could this widening also extend to future bids?

In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.

In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.

This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.

In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
