Atmosphere 2024/25

[Spurs quarter 69]

Agreed. The first time I went there with City was 1974. It really was a bear pit in those days. The level of violence was also off the scale with routine stabbings and slashings from their thugs. The trains were always bricked at Edge Hill before they got to Lime Street. Modern day fans really have no idea how bad Anfield was. Much worse than United away for starters.

Have been to Anfield for 81semi and have never known a more violent nasty place. All Mancs blues and reds knew they were taking their lives in their hands going there from early 70s to late 90s. Stabbings and slashings were common the worse dippers had to fear in Manchester was a thumping and booting. However I was there in 1970 aged 13 with a 12 year old mate two huge dockers could see we were shitting ourselves in the Annie Rd. They let us stand in front of them by the wall and told us to cheer our team and they'd make sure nobody bothered us. Afterwards they walked back through Stanley Park with us and saw us back to the coach. This goes to show their are some really decent Liverpool fans and we were lucky enough to meet two. In this day and age people would question their motivation but they were just two really decent guys.
