Waiting outside Anfield Road end for my mate who was sat in the Kop, I was amazed at how many foreigners I saw. Had a big group stood near me all giving it the ‘hurdy-gurdy’, I am assuming they were Scandinavians. And loads and loads of Irish and cockneys. Blokes with kids decked out in all the clobber….displaying the best Somerset accents going.
I saw a load of Germans as well, some with Erfurt scarves on and others as well. It’s bizarre. Almost like a football carnival.I knew it was like this, but I was amazed at the extent of it. I ended up approaching the ground from behind the Kop end, walking up loads of derelict streets. There WAS a ‘throng’ of locals making their way up to the ground, but it really wasn’t anything different to ours, at the DW.
Maybe it explains why the atmosphere was so bad. How do they all sing in different languages? :lol:
Nipped in ‘The Park’ pub, behind the kop, for a urinal stop, and it was rammed with Irish.I’d hate Latics to ever get like that, seriously. Nothing against the odd individual, but I’d say a large percentage are foreigners and day trippers, at Anfield.
Why Vat????
If we could get 50,000 every week I don’t give a shoite were they come from :romance-grouphug: [/quote]
You’d change your mind if it got like people I know who’ve watched Liverpool for years, and yet quite often have to fight tooth and nail for tickets, sometimes paying well over the odds…..
whilst people who fly or get the boat in, get tickets with ease. No thanks.[/quote]
I know what your saying Vat but I would love it to be a struggle to get hold of Tics tickets. Would that not be better than giving tickets away for free?????
IMO opinion definately.

Nah. It was bad enough that first season, and the Carling Cup final having to go down and sit off in a camping chair at 6.30am. Couldn’t be bothered with all that again. Paying £40 a season to join the ‘membership’, with no guarantee of tickets. I know several hard-core Reds who have stopped going because of it.
To be fair, a lot of their genuine fans are fed up about things as much as any other fans. They play Sparta Prague away this coming week, I think. Guess how much Sparta have been selling visiting fans tickets for? £145 a pop. Considering I watched a Champions League game at Sparta in 2002 and paid £2 for a ticket, that’s scandalous. Even with inflation.
Liverpool fans cheesed off…..
