  • Liverpool FC. The evolution of Anfield Stadium from its origins in 1884. fgnwnfnf8393nn==dkf888mmdf-33
    Anfield was built in 1884, but got initially rented by Everton FC. The first game at the ground, on the 28th of September 1884, saw Everton beat Earlstown 5-0.
    In 1891, Everton moved out of Anfield after a dispute over the rent, and one year later newly-founded Liverpool moved in. Their first match at Anfield was a 7-1 win over Rotherham.
    Anfield underwent several developments in the late 19th and early 20th century, among which in 1895 the construction of a new main stand designed by Archibal Leitch and a decade later the construction of the famous Spion Kop.
    The ground remained more or less the same for the next two decades until the Kop got expanded in 1928. Once completed, it could hold about 30,000 fans.
    Anfield set its record attendances in 1958 when 61,905 people attended a match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Further improvements were made between 1963 and 1973, when the old Main Stand got demolished and replaced with a new one.
    Anfield did not host any matches during the 1966 World Cup, which were instead played at neighbouring Goodison Park.
    In the 1980s, a start was made to convert the stadium into an all-seater, and in 1982 the famous Shankly Gates were erected. The last significant changes to the stadium were made in the 1990s, first with the rebuilding of the two-tiered Centenary Stand, then with the conversion of the Kop into an all-seater stand, and finally in 1998 with the construction of a second tier on the Anfield Road Stand.
    Anfield was one of the playing venues of the Euro 1996 tournament, during which it hosted three group matches and the quarter-final between France and the Netherlands (0-0).
    In the late 2000s, Liverpool contemplated moving away from Anfield to a larger and more modern stadium, and even obtained planning permission for a new 60,000-seater stadium at nearby Stanley Park. However, insufficient funding delayed the plans, which were finally discarded in 2012 by the new owners of the club.
    Instead, the ownership opted to redevelop and expand Anfield. The first phase involved the reconstruction of the Main Stand, which increased capacity with 8,500 seats to a total of 54,047. Works started in January 2015 and were completed right before the start of the 2016-17 season.
    If there is sufficient demand, plans also include a possible expansion of the Anfield Road Stand, which would result in a final capacity of about 59,000 seats.

    The music is very emotional. My first taste of Anfield was going with my dad as a kid around 1970 in the paddock..it was the place fathers took their kids..it was infront of the main stand i think. Then when i was a teenager in the 1970's i went with my mates. Then again with my dad in the Kemlyn road stand in the 1980's...after that a few one offs and then i couldnt afford a season ticket or even the chance to a home game. Early memories Keegan & Toshack, Emlyn Hughes, Highway, Souness etc..then John Barnes Rush Dalglish. But the best player overall ability and what he brought to the game...Steven Gerrard...a one off...

    Liverpool weren’t really up to much prior the 1960s and a history of their ground displays that. The success of the 1970s and 1980s really galvanized the club. No disrespect intended to Liverpool which is now undoubtedly a massive club on a global scale, but Man Utd and Arsenal were always huge clubs in comparison as were Celtic and Rangers. Everton were certainly as big a club as Liverpool prior to the late Shankley-era.

      True. Pre war and even in the 1950s, it wasn't Liverpool that footy fans all flocked to see at their own grounds, it was clubs like Stoke, Burnley, Wolves, and PNE. These clubs were the big clubs up to and through the 1930s.....then Arsenal, and later Manchester United starting to appear. Liverpool only really became big club in the late 60's.

      Dark Lord I’ve done my homework. I’m not saying Liverpool weren’t a big club, but that they were not a huge club then. Everton were bigger than Liverpool until Shankley, and had won more trophies to boot. Jeepers, Liverpool didn’t win their first FA cup - in an era throughout when the FA cup was seen as important, if not more important than the league - until 1965! They were certainly not in the realm of a Man Utd or the giants of European football. By the way, I support none of the clubs mentioned.

      @robtyman4281 Před 4 lety

      @UCD0SHQK7_4DdIWuTuAtSW_g I'm not having a dig at Liverpool, I'm just stating what was a fact. These clubs were all considered bigger than Liverpool right up until the 1960's. It may not be what you want to hear but it was the case - according to my late grandfather.
      Also you have to take into account that attendances weren't recorded or listed in the early days. The turnstile wasn't around at first and didn't appear until about 1930. Before this fans were just let in though gates.....no checks, and no one counting the number of people at the grounds. So you have to take these 'official' attendance figures with a pinch of salt. The real number would have been quite alot higher.
      Besides, it's a fairly modern view to be 'obsessed' with attendance figures in judging how big or small a club is. In the past people didn't think of this, they just wanted to see famous faces and well known names. And these names happened to be playing for Stoke, Wolves, or PNE.
      The fact that PNE for example were the first English football club to win the domestic double (League and FA cup), AND also the first club to win the title in consecutive seasons, means that they a huge club at the time they achieved this, and it was enough to guarantee them 'big club status' well into the 20th century - right up to the 60's. What they achieved all the way back in the 1880's can't be taken away from them.
      They'll always be proud to be the first English club to achieve what they did. Even if they've not won the top flight since 1890. Attendances are arbitrary, and as I said the 'actual' attendances were probably alot higher than was recorded.

      It would seem incredible for a modern Liverpool fan to believe today but, before 1970, the balance of power, off the field was very much towards Everton. Anfield was very poorly developed prior to the 1960s and even then, not a lot was done. Goodison, by contrast, was widely regarded in 1966 as the most impressive stadium in the land. The ethos of the two clubs off the field also reflected this. Up to the mid-60s, Everton was viewed as Footballing aristocrats and indeed often accused of not winning the trophies their status merited. Liverpool was the underdog team who often punched above their weight. Indeed it could be argued that this shaped Bill Shankley and the 60s Kop. This had an effect on the atmosphere in the two stadiums {remember this is an era where many fans would watch both teams} Everton held a sense of reverence while Anfield was more relaxed. Shankley encouraged the atmosphere and smashed the sense of knowing their place so to speak and in 1973, for the first time in history, Liverpool returned a higher average attendance than Everton, a role which has never switched back. Ironically, having overthrown Everton, he private expressed an interest in becoming Everton manager in 1975. In truth, Everton took the guts of thirty years to properly react to the power shift and they've left themselves a monumental task to even remotely start to try and regain a foothold. However, it should always be a salutary lesson for all Liverpool fans to never take their position for granted. The seeds of any Everton revival may rest in any future Liverpool complacency.

      @@paulquinn8709 I'd say there was probably an era of off the field parity between 1973-2000, while Liverpool was much more successful on the field. Throughout the 20th Century, neither side had any great strength over the other in terms of support or identity in the city. However, certainly, in the last 20 years, the swing has {I think I read somehwere} gone as high as 7 to 1 Liverpool to Everton ratio and identity of Everton in the city has never been more difficult to find. No doubt a new stadium for the blue {1/8th, half now seems optimistic} will do much to help regenerate the blue identity of Merseyside. I would fear for Everton's long term capability to continue in the city if their new stadium and/or their immediate Premier League status were to be lost.
