So yesterday was my first, very overdue visit to Anifield.
The day all together was unbelievable, trains aren't my thing but even they couldn't change my upbeat mood.
I walked to the ground and the closer I got the more fans there were etc and the atmosphere was unbelievable. I went into the ground as soon as the turnstiles opened and found my seat (Row 1 Anfield Lower..).
The game, fans, atmoshpere everything..was utterly amazing, by far the best day of my life. Words don't do justice to how good it really was.
Going to Arsenal next week and I can't wait to be back
First visit..

Anfield rocks when Liverpool play the likes of City, but it's fooking flat when playing teams like Stoke.

What a load of rubbish. We had 44,700 last time we played Stoke at Anfield and Pulis even said post match 'what a fantastic crowd here'.
Everton managed to draw 33,300 to Goodison for the same fixture though

JB, I was at that Stoke game last season, the atmosphere was dire. Unless you're sat in the Kop, people just don't want to sing unless we're playing a big club.

Obviously the more history with the opposition the more noise but how rival fans cans give it all that when their place is even worse is beyond ironic. It's a bit like the person who finished last in a race laughing at the one who came second!

The thing is JB, other fans don't bang on about how special the atmosphere is. All fans raise their game when they play the bigger clubs,but we don't claim to be above all others like the reds do.

I think when we're talking on our own board, we can bang on about what we like concerning our club.
Most current and ex-players and managers always name Anfield as the best crowd - it isn't just us!

Most players who have had a good career at a club will. Cahill says it about Everton. The Stoke fans, give it all ,no matter who they're playing,to me,they're the type of fans who should be given praise,not fairweather fans like Liverpool have.

I'm not talking about ex-players of Liverpool, I'm talking about players and managers of other teams worldwide - when asked what's the best away ground atmosphere.
Your comments show your general attitude towards Liverpool so no surprise you have this view of the fans.

Like Henry? Who plays for one of the bigger teams. I'm not saying Anfield doesn't rock,what I'm saying is, it only rocks when the big boys are in town.

It's not the fairweather fans who are responsible for the good atmospheres though. And when it's good it's unbelievable.
