Are you allowed in to Anfield on a match day with a small rucksack?

[scouser102002]

From the matchday programme:

"Bringing bags to the stadium is actively discouraged. However, fans arriving at the stadium with a small personal bag (i.e. handbag/medical bag) should expect this to be searched and tagged before entry. Bringing a bag may delay your entry and in some cases may lead to non-entry to the stadium. Please do not bring large bags or luggage (such as rucksacks/briefcases/suitcases/suit bags etc) to Anfield as they cannot be brought into the stadium"


So, no.

Thanks a lot 👍🏼

Depends how big the rucksack is. I've brought a bag in numerous times.

[scouser102002]

As with most things with this club, it probably also depends on who you get on the turnstiles.

Make sure you allow enough time for any necessary security checks which may include random searches. Small personal bags are permitted - please ensure your bags are no larger than A5 and only one bag per person is allowed. It is advised you only bring a bag if it is absolutely essential, please see our checklist of what can/cannot be brought in to the stadium here.

Please do not bring large bags or luggage (such as rucksacks/briefcases/suitcases/suit bags etc.) to Anfield as they cannot be brought into the Stadium. Please be advised there is no left luggage facility at the stadium.

Says no larger than a5, which I would assume is the size of an a5 sheet of paper. The bag I have brought in is larger than an a4 sheet of paper.

seen people with bags all the time, as long as it’s not absurdly large you’ll be fine, stewards will check and put a tag on it

My rucksack’s about 45 x 35 cm and i’ve never had any issues.

I queried those rules with the club last season as I occasionally have a rucksack.  They told me that rucksacks are fine, and, sure enough, I've continued to have no problems.  Just call over the steward on the turnstile to do your bag search.  Don't be one of those people who waits until you get right up to the turnstile and then holds up the queue.

You see people with rucksacks every week. I've even seen people with suitcases! Plus they are obviously very unbothered by massive LFC shop bags...

It should be fine, I was surprised by those guidelines as have often bought a rucksack but note they also say no laptops or tablets which would make for very boring train journeys, plus most handbags are bigger than A5 so I think it's trying to persuade people not to bring them.

I cycle to the games I go to (champs league, occasional league ect)  so I have my cycle helmet, lights jacket, my flask with a brew.

always just ask them to check it and they're fine

The bigger the better.

[RSoares21]

Seen plenty bags get in. Usually tourists each have a back pack.

[bertiemee]

The bigger the better.

Anybody found to not be in possession of an LFC Retail bag full of merchandise will be refused entry to the ground
