I think the Everton fans are simply trying to reduce the number of grown men their team reduces to tears. What a disappointing end to their Saturday clash with Man U! Of course, it wasn’t helped by the referee allowing play to continue until Manchester scored just one more goal ;-}

I prefer to think that it’s the fans rather than the stadium that creates the atmosphere. The stadium design, acoustics etc are obviously a factor but not an overwhelming one.

The biggest mistake Liverpool can make is to move to a new stadium and then increase ticket prices, pricing out the regular loyal masses, allowing in the irregular avocado sandwich brigade.

Another club willing to give up their history in pursuit of more cash.

I wonder if they might be making a big mistake in leaving Anfield. They run the risk of succumbing to the curse of the new stadium. And they’ll be hard pushed to generate a similar atmosphere at a newer, much bigger venue.

Yes Liverpool has the best supporters, but of course I’m biased

Although I’ve noticed crowd support of some EPL matches at anfield have been a tad subdued. Frustrated at Pool’s EPL form I suppose…
