Anfiel Road Liverpool FC Stadium

When we arrived at Anfield stadium, we had to wait for a few minutes before begining the tour.

Then, we passed through the official door of the F.C Liverpool players until the moment when Kevin, our guide gave us some instructions concerning the rules to respect in the stadium : like not walk on the lawn (act considered as a crime).

Then we went into the locker room home. The jerseys of the players of the team type were hung above the place of the players. The locker room was, very small and basic. We could take pictures of our favourite players' jerseys.
Kevin explained to us that it was to concentrate the players. Then, he led us through the corridor leading the players to the pitch, where the interviews also take place.

And Steve, the other guide (who used to be an international referee) showed us the framing with the sponsors.
Kevin said that the players are used to touching the poster «This is Anfield» before playing, in fact it's their lucky charm.

Then we sat down on the seats of coaches and substitutes and Kevin informed us about the tondage of the lawn and the story of the club.

He told us about the tragedy of Hillsborough in which many Liverpool fans died because nobody had stopped the entrances of the supporters and they had compressed along the railings which keep the spectators away from the ground. The jostlings caused a lot of deaths, that is why they decided to remove the railings .
We could see the Memorial board with the victims' names.

After the visit, we went to the museum of the club and saw the differents cups won by the club of Liverpool.

And of course we spent time and money... in the shop!
