Playing in it, hosting it and winning it would do me.
The atmosphere both in and around the ground would be mental
Not made it up as I confirmed that a few posts above.
Yup, pitch is 4m short in length.
Isnât the mystic of winning it in far flung places part of the charm.
I wouldnât be that bothered with winning at say Wembley (though our record is a bit shit bar one of those Spurs games)
Love to see us at the Millennium again mind, those cup finals were great.
Never forget watching a guy housing himself and sleeping in the netted luggage rack for 3 days on the train journey to Rome, the very first time we won old big earsâŚ!
Memories that kind of stick with ya⌠Forever.!
Was that guy you, or someone you saw on your journey?
Respect man, respect.
Itâs official.
Good job, work had started haha.

The review highlighted that during matches persistent standing in the Kop and Anfield Road lower tier is an issue that needs to be addressed to ensure supportersâ safety.
The SGSAâs regulatory focus is on reducing persistent standing risks in stadiums and avoiding potential crowd collapses. Research commissioned by the SGSA around the management of persistent standing areas has evidenced in its emerging findings that the installation of rails increases safety within all-seater stadiums. The research states that the SGSA considers it important to maintain momentum on managing the identified persistent standing risks ahead of the return of live sport with spectators.
LFC has had a management plan for persistent standing at Anfield for many years but following the SGSAâs most recent review it is now advising to install safety rails.
The Kop and Anfield Road Stand will see a total of 7,800 seats updated in the trial, which will begin from the start of next season. Around 1,800 new seats will be located in the back of the Kop and 6,000 in the Anfield Road Stand lower tier.
Anfield will remain an all-seater stadium and the trialled areas with the new seats and safety rails are not âsafe standingâ areas.
The seating being installed at Anfield includes normal stadium seats with an integrated safety rail behind them to avoid a crowd collapse. They will not impact the visibility of the pitch for supporters. The design is to enable fans to stand safely at key moments in the game, like goal celebrations, but must revert to a seat at other times.
Season ticket holders whose seats are impacted by these changes will be contacted in due course to explain the changes and provide options to remain in the new seat or move to a standard seat.
With the installation of the new seats at Anfield, LFC joins a number of Premier League clubs who are already using this safety method, with further clubs set to install safety rails during the summer.
Andy Hughes, managing director of Liverpool FC, said: âThe safety of our supporters when they come to Anfield is our absolute priority and we are fully committed to working with the SGSA on the trial of these new seats at Anfield. It is critical that we listen to the experts and deliver their recommendations to address this safety issue.
âWe have informed key stakeholders and thank all fans for their input and support during this trial. We will complete a full review of the trial in 12 months at the end of next season.â
Supporters attending matches are reminded that Anfield is still an all-seater stadium and should remain seated when possible.
Sounds good.
For me these safe standing seats are the future
People need to understand this is âsafe standingâ
It is not terracing
Have all of you watched a game at Anfield?
I still hope that one day I will watch a game there.
I said before mate,
You come
Over, give me notice and you can have my season ticket for a game
This 61k talk will put us 3rd on the list behind United (74k) and Spurs (62k)
Really! What about Arsenal?
Thanks mate
Arsenal 60.7k
Itâs not even safe standing. Itâs rail seating with the stadium remaining an all seater. Done for safety when fans stand up during celebrations and often tumble forward.
Theyâre doing it from a safety perspective and are being cautious with labelling it safe standing.
