Expand theyve got the acoustics spot on. hate commending them for anything. i'd always heard the atmosphere dropped off at anfield after the initial YNWA - didnt last night. i hate them.

Chicken Dancer Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 To be fair I've been to Anfield 4 times and it was absolutely shite all 4. I'd hazard a guess their league position more than out else contributed to the atmosphere. That being said, I completely agree about the acoustics & character of Anfield being class, but especially their song book. Them & Man Utd always seem to have long songs that catch on fairly quick. We're lucky to hear Blaydon Races these days. FWIW their fans have had similar complaints re Anfield as we are having now with St James'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand A dated concourse/stand? It’s just opened, we were one of the first teams to play there with that stand fully open. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the fanbase, they have the catchment area for other events, they have the land nearby. I think a 1 or 2 stands extension is a bit of a let down to be honest. Expand Their fanbase is nowhere near as big as people make out. I remember last time we played them in the Championship they sold out a home game for the first time in almost 10 years. They were averaging only 22k not all that long ago, maybe around 2018, and have never averaged more than 40k in their history. It's not a massive footballing city really. They do have a good away following mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Such an overrated club, they’ve never exceeded 40k average in their history. Their claim to be some huge club is a total myth and predicated on around a decade in the late 60s to early 70s when they were runner up more times than winners.

Expand There's been a couple of games this season that haven't sold out so would be interesting to see how many of those new fans would take a season ticket if offered. As I say they only averaged 22k as recently as 2018 which is 4k less than their current waiting list. If a load of fans want to jump on the bandwagon pretty quickly like that it usually works the other way, and they'll not need much encouragement to jump back off again. Historically they are the 12th best supported club in the country. It's hardly remarkable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
