Topic: Atmosphere at Anfield

[Stevo]

It’s fine we have the hospitality seats in the ARU, things have changed and that’s how it is. It’s also fine that people will use them to go to one off games, I get it. But FFS, put your phones away and stop filming everything and video calling your mates at home (how are you even getting a signal?!). And seriously, you’ve presumably seen football before and know where the away fans are based at Anfield? So when the opposition goalkeepers come out to warm up and the away fans start applauding them don’t copy them thinking it’s Alisson and Kelleher coming out.

It’s a weird mix up there, you’ve got people at the back really up for it then large groups of people paying a fortune for a one off game and they’re totally out of touch with everything or obsessed with filming it all.

Also, I think getting in to the habit of playing ring of fire and allez allez allez before YNWA every game is a bad move. It’s manufacturing the atmosphere and forcing it rather than letting it form organically. YNWA is what it is but it feels like everything is becoming so contrived.

Ok, it’s 6 minutes before kick off, get your phones and/or scarves out ready everyone, here we go!

I'm not sure but I'd expect so. I'd juste expect both areas to...

I was at Brentford on Saturday and they played Metallica before both kick offs to try and get the crowd going. Bit odd (but secretly enjoyed it).

Have a google what Port Adelaide do before every AFL game.

They wanted to create a similar thing to YNWA.

Someone near me walking out boasting that his son is giving away games on his season ticket as he's no longer in the country WTF, Something seriously needs to happen to the STH Sheme, heavily needs modernised I reckon as clearly some STH's ain't even going to the games

I've had the use, on and off, for over 20 years of St's of a couple who've never actually used them. They used to go, the family life/work life changed, so they had to stop just as they got their St's.They want to start again one day, would be bloody stupid to give them up, I've been 21 years on the list, and genuine reds get to use the tickets. I bet if they gave them up, they wouldn't go to two on the list, they be tourist seats instead

[gazzalfc]

Any reason why George announced Endo scoring the first goal yesterday?

Atmosphere was really good. I think a mixture of really nice weather, a bank holiday weekend meaning it wasn't really a Sunday match and Klopps penultimate Anfield game. Outside the ground felt really good as well.

You've been 21 years on the list, but everyone else on the list is a tourist?

Where the fuck did I say that? Never missed a fucking game between 2002 and 2010 at Anfield, been going the game since 1975, every week from when I was 12 I went on my own to Anfield, had to stop in 2010 due to other more pressing costs, go when I can afford it now seeing as it costs me over £150 every fucking game

You're just a fucking wum you

I thought you said that you'd been 21 years on the waiting list for a season ticket, but that the next in line was bound to be a tourist. Your post is a bit badly written so I'm sorry if I got that wrong.

Watching the derby at Goodison the other week. I couldn't but notice a good average age of the crowd must have been in there twenties. It was like a throw back to when I went in the 70's and 80's.
Then you watch our home games and its like a Darby and Joans Club.

It's annoying, isn't it. Thing is, anyone can get a ticket to see Everton, so their youth can get to see them any time they want. Our own youth have very little chance of getting tickets to see us. We've massively outgrown our own ground. Everton can accommodate anyone who wishes to see them. That's the difference. It's the price of being global, unfortunately.

[bossjon]

It is very old school for Everton.
You can easily get a ticket, with 3-4 of your mates, for almost every game even against us and United.
No expensive memberships, 10+ games the previous season, paying 200£ from a tout etc.

Strange their atmosphere is shite 9 games out of 10 though. They have a really good atmosphere when they play us or when they are up for it ( a bit like us ).
Goodison is the best ground in the country in terms of design for generating atmosphere. Really tight, close to the pitch, and an old low hanging roof that really contains the noise.
It will me a massive loss for them, they have had a huge opportunity to capitalize on that ground because it has always been a hard place to go to.
Now it will be another of these new grounds like emirates, etihad etc, they will lose much of that edge.

The old Main Stand was very important for Anfield to make it intimidating and loud. The new stand is massive, but the noise often gets lost from the kop.

Even then, their atmosphere is mostly just booing or screaming for a foul every time anyone goes near one of their players.

I'm envious of how easy it is to get a ticket though.

[Son of Spion]

I used to work with a woman originally from the East Anglia area. She wanted to watch football in the City, couldn't get anywhere near Anfield so got a season ticket in the Bitters' Main Stand. She's not even a BS fan, but got the season ticket simply because she could. Anyone daft enough to want to watch them, can do.

It's a truly sad state of affairs that our own youth have been unable to get tickets and regularly enjoy watching our club with their mates. This has been happening for a long time now. Our new breed can't really get a look in anymore.

[cdav]

Really enjoyed that today, nice mixture of reminiscing, celebration and defiance

[DangerScouse]

Up the anny road lower ultras. First time there for years! Mighty effort.

Its been good in there second half of the season, bit warm in the sun in the lower today mind!

[mattyyt]

Brilliant in the Upper Anny today, really good mix of young lads in the 20 or so rows towards the back, hope it’s a similar demographic next season when the seats are sold as normal.

Hope they look into implementing safe standing over the summer too, would save the stewards from a lot of grief.

[ScubaSteve]

Upper Annie was rocking again. Respect to those in the upper corner away end side, never stopped singing!

The whole ground needs to be like that. Some of the deadwood needs to move on and watch it on tv now. If you can’t sing even for jurgens last game, just give up now

[keano7]

Loved Jurgen’s face when we started singing Divock Origi. I was a mile away in the Kop but you could tell he was loving it!!

[John C]

It's fair to say that except for the lower Kenny, all other parts of the ground get their own little unique atmosphere going now. The new lower main is much improved, everyone has a ball in the upper main. Although I'm Kop end of the lower Kenny I can hear the new Anny getting right up for it.

[Tricia Dingle]

Loved that The Kop went through a bit of a Klopp’s greatest hits. Mane’s song, Bobby’s, Gini’s, Origi’s and even Henderson’s all got an airing.

Was great to hear a few classics; Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Suarez and my personal favourite - Maxi Rodriguez (runs down the wing for me!)

Atmosphere was special today, 305 was pretty much non stop. Up the fuckin’ reds!!!

[deanloco9]

Amazing today! Shame about the confusion where everyone got off before the lap of honour but understandable! Loved every second of today

[swoopy]

Anfield Road Upper was fantastic again today. Absolutely loved it.

Jesus. I did think it was odd they didn't do YNWA before walking off. Most of the ground had left when we did. How many saw it ?!

[kavah]

except for the lower Kenny ...

  - so funny, there's a season-ticket holder in my church, - an absolute moaner, never heard him happy after a game.

TAW should do a feature on them - The Dour Stalwarts - custodian's of the Kemlyn's essence

[terry_macss_perm]

Attendance was lower than for the Spurs game despite that corner finally being filled in.

Did Wolves not sell all of their allocation?

[Guz-kop]

Absolutely wild they didn't just announce that the players were going to come out again ?

 Felt a bit corporate awards evening at the end but absolutely glad all the fellas leaving got their moment of appreciation and the coaches could celebrate together.

[kavah]

Klopp at the very very end. Looked like there were about 20 people behind him - he Put it on instagram - should have got them all on the pitch for a team photo

The corner is filled in but it's still not being used as an allocation. Will probably be open next season

We really should be binning off the Torres and Suarez songs when they used the first opportunity they could to engineer moves away from the club because the going got a little bit tough.

A biting winter wind off the Mersey isn't going to do much for pre-match atmosphere either!

[NickoH]

We had to get off about 10 minutes after the final whistle. They (a young girl steward) let us out by one of the gates at the side of 208. Loads of young lads came running towards the open gate and tried to storm their way in. Don't help ourselves this club do we. It wasn't just one or two as well. Didn't stay to see how they got on.

[noneoftheabove]

It looked to me that the plan was for the players and staff to walk over to the Kop and the PA play YNWA like at the League Cup Final but the Kop were singing it anyway.

Players then left and most of the crowd did too. After about 10 minutes some of the players kids came on and played football and then players and families started to come on and it just like a normal end of season celebration.

Shame most of the crowd missed that. I always love how our season ends with the crowd leaving whilst the players are still on the pitch with their families like they are playing in the park. It’s the opposite of every other game when the crowd leaves once the players have left. Yesterday they got a bit messed up.

I had this discussion with some of my mates (Who all left) in the pub after.

I'm not sure if our fans are dickheads or if the club fucked up.

We stayed because we've been going for 40 years and we waited for the lap of honour, but as you said 99% of the fans fucked off.

What the actual fuck? We did our best to clap the players, but you could tell they were thinking 'What the actual fucking fuck - everyone has fucked off' and barely any of them bothered.

Not sure what is going on with our fans any more.

What a load of shite. My wife and lots of my mates are Evertonians and go to every game and their tickets are like gold dust. As if you can get a fucking ticket with '3 or 4 of your mates'
