Brief introduction of stadium

Anfield Stadium, sometimes called Anfield Road Stadium, is located in Anfield, Liverpool, England. It is a four-star stadium of the European Football Federation and the home of Liverpool Football Club.

Anfield Stadium used to be the home of Everton Football Club in the same city. 1892 was taken back by the stadium owner and Liverpool Football Club was established. 1995, a friendly match between England and Sweden was staged at Anfield Stadium. 1996 During the European Cup, Anfield Stadium became one of the important competition venues, staging group matches and semi-finals. 200 1 Due to the reconstruction of Humble Stadium, the home of the national team, Anfield hosted the World Cup qualifier between England and Finland. After the game, the FA praised the facilities at Anfield Stadium that day. With 45,362 seats, Anfield Stadium is now the sixth largest stadium in Britain. Because it is not feasible to expand Anfield, there are plans to build a new stadium in Stanley Park near Anfield. The initial plan can accommodate 70,000 people, which is now subject to the approval of the municipal government.

KOP stands

When Liverpool won the league title for the second time, the club decided to rebuild the stands. At that time, Neist Edwards, who was also the sports editor of the Liverpool Post and the Echo, proposed that the stand be named Spinkop to commemorate the Liverpool soldiers killed in the Second Boer War, in which Britain suffered heavy losses (many casualties came from Lancashire Legion). 1906, Liverpool and Preston named the stand on one side as Spine Mountain, and this proposal was widely accepted. Many other stadiums have also adopted this name, such as Blackpool Football Club (bloomfield Road Stadium), St Andrews Stadium in Birmingham City and Hillsborough Stadium on Wednesday, and all chose "Kop" as their stand, although Arsenal's Manor Stadium was the first stadium to use Spine Hill.

History of Anfield Stadium

Since the birth of 1892 Liverpool Football Club, they have set their home court at Anfield.

The history of football-related stadiums in this city can be traced back to 1878, when it was named Stanley Park after the Sandomingo team. At that time, everyone can enter to watch the game. When more and more people began to watch the game, the authorities decided to move to another stadium so that the club could charge the highest admission fee.

Everton, a member of the team, made an offer to Kluit for a field near Stanley Stadium. This land belongs to Keret and is suitable for building dressing rooms and stands. As time went on, the rapid growth of the audience made Crete reconsider the deal, so the team had no home.

1884, because the club failed to obtain the right to use this land from Crete, they faced the fate of returning to Stanley Stadium. However, John Houlding, the chairman of the team, talked with ohrel, a friend of his who is engaged in the brewing industry, and finally chose a piece of land on Anfield Road as the team's resident. Members of the club are basically from Thornton's bar. They help erect railings and set up stands to make it more suitable for football matches. Auger made some rules about the use of the stadium, which also led to Everton's departure. These regulations include: ohrel is not allowed to enter the stadium for his own use, keeping the fence intact, and of course, the rental fee.

In the first game of Anfield 1884, Everton beat Earlston 5-0. By 1886, more and more people were watching the ball. Seeing that it was time to build a new grandstand, Hoding invited local architect Rutherford for 64 pounds to build another grandstand on the edge of the stadium near Kemlin Road. So a grandstand with a roof was built in the other corner of the stadium. Then, the infrastructure work will continue. 19 In the late 1980s, the stands behind the goals on both sides were also built.

At this time, the stadium is already one of the best in China, and the England team has also set the home of international competitions here.

1892, because the team didn't develop and grow, and the cost of venue rental was getting higher and higher, Everton decided to move out and find a new stadium, Goodison, opposite Stanley Park Stadium. Settle down in your new home soon. At this time, Hoding only had a beautiful stadium that could accommodate a large audience, but no team was stationed here.

1892 In May, Anfield Stadium finally had its own team, and the greatest team in English history, Liverpool Football Club, was born. Before the first game, the stadium needs a lot of work to operate. After the discussion about rent, many players of Everton team in the same city left and went to the stadium they were familiar with.

1On September 23rd, 892, Liverpool played its first game at Anfield Stadium. 200 fans took part in the game, and they beat Walton, another local team who came to challenge, 8-0. At first, Liverpool players used Sutton Bar as the dressing room at Anfield. They had to walk into the game along the street, and then they had to go back to the dressing room in the same way after the game.

1894, with the team's good record, the club decided to build the grandstand including the dressing room. The scaffold cost 1000, and was mainly made of wood, which was used until the 1970s. The stands were the best in the football field at that time. In the middle of the top of the stand, there is a semicircular gable made of red and white. A huge thin plate was placed here, which read "Liverpool Football Club". Today, only this one survived, and like the original one, it was destroyed during the reconstruction of the stands.

New stadium plan

Liverpool Football Club has submitted a new stadium construction plan to the urban construction planning department of Liverpool. If all goes well, the project will start construction next year. The club hopes to use this new stadium in the 2006-2007 season. The following is a brief introduction of the new gymnasium.

It has an incomparably comfortable 60,000 seats, supports the overall line of sight coverage, and has a high-tech stadium. The four "traditional" stands are all covered by integrated ceilings. Fans can give the three stands a new name, of course, the name of the final victory should still be KOP. The name of the new stadium has not yet been finalized, and manager Rick Parry says there is no reason not to keep the name Anfield.

There will be a larger museum around the stadium, modeled after the Barcelona Club in Spain, which is expected to attract about 1 million visitors every year. The community is better equipped, including a new Vernon Sangster Sports Center. On the other side, it may be a new institution of higher learning-Liverpool Hope University. The gymnasium will be adjacent to the parking lot of 654.38+0.5 million square meters.

▲ Hitzburg/Monument

Souvenirs from the club and the family members of the Heathburg incident will follow the new stadium, and fans who scattered ashes at Anfield will be placed in a new fan memorial garden. Projects such as Thackeray Statue and Pisley Passage will also be relocated, but these need to be implemented in a clearer plan.

▲ Financial support

The club's investment in the new stadium will not affect the team's future construction. In case Liverpool builds a stadium in a normal way (without financial assistance from the government and other relevant sports departments), the stadium will be self-financing, so that all these expenses can be recovered in about 15 years. Everything is carefully calculated. The club will not be short of money because of a sudden crisis.

▲ Anfield Square

The current Anfield Stadium will be completely razed to the ground and an Anfield Square will be built. This square will be a large area with two buildings or St. George's Gate on it. This will be a high-standard open activity area. This is a good place to attract tourists and provide more employment opportunities. It will also cater to the needs of the community and build some entertainment places that young people like. The plan includes a hotel with a coffee shop, restaurant, office, gym and skating rink. There is also a big open-air market. The surrounding planning of the new stadium includes this once glorious park, which is expected to restore its early glory in 2 1 century.
