Topic: Wearing a dress to Anfield on match day

[MrZippo]

Hi there fellow Kopites,

I will be attending my first ever home match at Anfield for the upcoming West ham game on the 24th September.
My girlfriend managed to get us hospitality tickets as a birthday present for me (I am so lucky!).

Anyway in a bizarre turn of events. She suggested that we switch attire for the day in that she will wear my men's home shirt and I wear her Liverpool FC red polo dress to make the day more interesting 😂

I am just wondering if this would be ok to do and would I get refused entry into the stadium due to the "dress code"?
Has anyone done this before?
Any help and advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You'll be sound so long as your bollocks aren't swinging in the wind.

Haha 100% not going to happen!! If I do it I won't be going commando as the dress is above knee height lol.

[moondog]

Whereabouts in the ground are you sitting? Feel like this kind of thing is more suited to the main stand???

I am going to be sat in row 3.
I'm still not sure if I am do it yet as I am worried about
A) if I will get turned away
B) what sort of reception I will get

It's my first time at Anfield so it's going to be a little overwhelming and we are booked in for the stadium tour before the match.

Knowing the Anfield crowd you might get a few funny looks but overall it'll be seen for what it is, a fun way to mark the day so you'll most likely get resounding applause from an appreciative fanbase 👍

So your first ever visit to Anfield isn’t going to be interesting enough for you , without you having to wear a dress to it, you may as well go the whole fuckin hog & get a half and half scarf to complete the ensemble

That's what it's all about, making a great day out and having fun but we shall see if I got the courage to do it.

Chopper can confirm this will be fine mate

Why so aggressive, do you feel threatened by men in dresses?

You'll be fine mate. It's 2023, most people have seen a man in a dress.

[Lfc19ynwa]

Not at all , I just think that going to the game should be interesting enough without having to wear a dress to make it more so.

[MrZippo]

That's good to know, it should be a great laugh and really make the day more memorable for us as she is coming from the USA and it will be her first ever "soccer" match

To be fair if he just said I want to come in a dress no one would give a fuck. But to think the day has to be spruced up like its the NFL is a bit stupid. Might as well do the half and half's and come in with a bumper hand and wave giant yellow cards at the ref.

[MrZippo]

Not at all , I just think that going to the game should be interesting enough without having to wear a dress to make it more so.

I agree as it's going to be a special day for both of us without the dress.
But we both have a personal history in doing things abit crazy for fun and just enjoying ourselves.

Well I believe this is once in a lifetime experience for me as I have tried and been unsuccessful in past ballots and I ain't ever going to get a season ticket so we might as well make the most of it and enjoy it too the max, but I will take a win first and foremost. 😀
Oh and without the props and half and half's 😜

I agree with Barney, post was a overly aggressive.

As for making it more interesting, I bet the poster wouldn't go in the Arkles and complain everyone is drinking and suggest they get a 50/50 scarf

We all do things to enhance our day.

It's fine to be honest, I mean I can understand and respect everyone has their own views.
Going to Anfield regardless of what I will be in will be the greatest experience for me as it's a dream come true!
As I said as long as we win, it don't matter what I am wearing I will be extremely happy! 😁

I definitely won't be going into the Arkles and doing that but I will be going to get a Shankly pie.

[TepidT2O]

No one’s lamped mighty red for dressing up, so on those grounds you’ll be fine

[CONFIAMOS]

Hahahaha

Lol that's really good to know 😂

Its a good point

[ToneLa]

Just remember to get a couple bottles of overpriced lager at half time, down them, then quickly nip to the bog for a slash

that's the real test, using a urinal in a dress 

You'll be alright though I reckon mate

Bonus points if you're 100% deadpan and explain nothing. "What? Oh this, wearing it cause it's red"

[only6times]

You'll be sound so long as your bollocks aren't swinging in the wind.

He obviously has no bollocks by not telling her to fuk rar off

[only6times]

Compared to some of the horrendous webs, jeans and haircuts on show, a dress would make a welcome change.

Is she your size?

And a shirt with I 8 Mancs on the back

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Fucking hell, that’s some going. Reckon I’d be full after the first one

[rob1966]

Depends how thin you slice em

[MrZippo]

Yes we are the same size more or less lol

[Kenny's Jacket]

I didnt see this thread moving onto cunnilingus 

[meady1981]

I've never seen so many badly dressed people than at a football match, so you'll be fine.
I probably wouldn't advise it to an away game.

Who was the guy who used to got to COL in a dress. Wearing an eagle glove with a can of Kestrel on it.

[Son of Spion]

Just tell everyone you're Chris de Burgh's wife.

[John Higgins]

Need a pic of the g/f in the dress in order to make an informed judgement.

[MrZippo]

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. I am still undecided if I will do it but if I do I will post here and maybe catch some of you on the day to day hi if you are around.

[Boston always unofficial]

Each to his own but it reeks of 'pay attention to me'.Film it all on ya cell phone and have a crappy cardboard  sign,what's wrong with just taking in the atmos and match?

[John Higgins]

Seriously, you’ll look like a fucking idiot. The majority may be polite, but frankly will all be muttering under their breath that you’d be better suited to being at the circus. Just go the match and enjoy it, rather than making an attention seeking scene by acting like the wooliest of wools.

[redbyrdz]

You won't get turned away. In this day and age, cross-dressing is (officially) fine.

However, I also agree that you'll look like an idiot as it's not what people do when they go the match. It's not a party or a stag do. If you were normally wearing dresses, that'd be fine, but doing it to spruce up your day just seems odd. I mean, people used to go in Sunday suit and tie in years past. These days, its all about dressing up but not looking dressed up, lol. And lots will say that only wools wear Liverpool shirts to the match.
