\"LFCWhether you\u2019re a dyed in the wool Liverpool supporter or only have a passing interest in football in general it\u2019s more than likely that you\u2019ll have heard of Anfield. It\u2019s one of the most famous stadiums in the world and has been home to Liverpool Football Club since 1892. With a capacity of 54,167 since the opening of the refurbished Main Stand and the famous Kop overlooking the pitch, Anfield is known for its incredible atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In these pages I\u2019ll be telling you about the history of the stadium, as well as giving you some information about the seating plan and, perhaps most importantly of all, telling you which of the pubs in the area are the best to head to for a pre-match pint. It\u2019s all part of the service here at AndCouldHePlay.com, which, of course, is named after one of the most famous songs sung by the Kop choir and is in honour of Kenny Dalglish.<\/p>\n

Where Is Anfield?<\/h2>\n

The beauty of Liverpool\u2019s ever-growing fanbase is that there are still millions of people who know all about LFC but have yet to visit their Mecca. There\u2019s no shame in that. Some fans will have you believe that there is a \u2018locals v wools\u2019 argument surrounding supporting Liverpool. Ignore them, they\u2019re not real Liverpool fans. True Reds believe the mantra sung by Gerry & The Pacemakers in that well-known tune \u2018Ferry \u2018Cross The Mersey\u2019:<\/p>\n

People around every corner, they seem to smile and say,
\n\u201cWe don\u2019t care what your name is boy, we\u2019ll never turn you away\u201d<\/p>\n

So, where exactly is Anfield? The stadium actually takes its name from the area of Liverpool in which it is located. Anfield the area (and, for that matter, the ground itself) is actually located quite a way outside of the city centre. It\u2019s not exactly easy to get to, but it\u2019s not like visiting a foreign country either so don\u2019t panic too much!<\/p>\n

If you like to use a satellite based device to help you navigate your way around the place then the post-code you\u2019ll need to get yourself to the home of Liverpool Football Club is L4 0TH. If you\u2019re in the centre of Liverpool with your back to the river Mersey then the stadium is to your 11 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n
