There are dozens of excellent restaurants and bars NORTH of Lime Street Station and St George’s Plateau, including, on Hope Street, the magnificent Victorian public house The Philharmonic Hotel (Liverpool is blessed with nineteenth century pubs that have survived in their original splendour) and the prize-winning Pen Factory, run by the doyen of Liverpool’s restaurateurs, Paddy Byrne.

The recent transformation of the stadium and the immediate surroundings is remarkable. Gradually the Victorian terraced houses and being re-furbed or replaced with, err, Elizabethan terraced houses A fan since the mid-sixties, I think the residents are absolute gems – putting up with huge invasions 25 or more times a year and an incredibly wealthy and dominant neighbour.

The stadium itself is very good, noisy and safe.

I do not usually do this sort of thing. so: the area around the stadium was in fact a fairly prosperous and aspirational middle class part of town when football was first played here (it was home to Everton from 1878 to 1891). The present problem with the houses is that Liverpool bought up the properties, some years ago, to accommodate development which never happened until the recent development. thus the area was left to rot by its richest inhabitant. I have been going to Anfield since 1969.

I have followed this club for many many years, from losing to Wimbledon in the fa cup to victory in Istanbul. Like it or not though the area around the club is an absolute shit hole. It looks more like a war zone than a place where people live. Thoroughly decent and hardworking people mostly. Great to be around. I hope that the regeneration is completed quickly so that the pride of the people who live here can be restored.

I travel to Anfield (and aways) for 90 – 100% of games, and although I find most people reasonable and decent (regardless of their social circumstances – most ‘old’ grounds were built close to where the (working class) local supporters lived!) I can honestly say that there are indeed ‘a lot of lovely people’ in Liverpool, people like irene. You have to remember, you are a guest when entering other peoples neighbourhoods, and imagine these people using your street/estate/etc. as a route to the ground. With-out question, L4 is the friendliest, and best place to go and watch football!!!

Many thanks to every one at the club ‘.

Thankyou for that review The Growlerr.. it was really nice of you to call the place where i live which isn’t far from the ground. For your info i know its a dump.. but i don’t think its very nice of you to say so. One day you will not be able to get a place to live around here once it has been re-generated.. it will be so high in demand.
Also there are a lot of lovely people who live around here…..

My one and only visit to Anfield and it was a throw back, around outside was a dump and very crammed. However once inside this ground still has the magic of football of old, the Kop is an impressive stand considering how modern stands are, I think they done well to keep it as original as possible. The stand the players come out though was more impressive as it just has that 80s Liverpool greatness about it???
