Anfield is a football ground in the district of Anfield, in Liverpool, England. It is the footballing home of Liverpool Football Club.

Anfield houses the 'Kop' which is one of the most famous stands in world football.

The Kop is situated on the south-west side of the stadium, and the atmosphere fans can create at games there can be raucous. The Kop was originally called Walton Breck Bank and before that Oakfield Road Embankment, it used to be a massive terrace but after the Hillsborough disaster it became an all seater. Many fans were worried the Kop would lose its atmosphere, while I am sure its not as good as it was, a Kop in full voice does raise the hairs on your neck and must be a great boost to its team.

In 1906, Liverpool and Preston named the banked stand at one end of their ground Spion Kop, after a hill in Natal that was the site of a famous battle in the Boer War, many of the British casualties were local Lancastrians. Other football clubs, such as Blackpool FC (Bloomfield Road), St Andrews, Birmingham and both the Sheffield clubs, also took on the name of "Kop" for one of their stands.

As you approach the ground it does not look like the home of 'five times European Champions' but inside though, the ground is wonderful and only the most picky of football fans would find fault with Anfield. As mentioned above the Kop, has been replaced by a huge stand designed to emulate the old Kop, hence it's odd shape and single large tier.

Situated at the other end is the Anfield Road Stand, part of which is given to visiting team supporters. Around 2000 away fans can be catered for though Liverpool FC have increased this for cup games in the past.

The main train station is called Liverpool Lime Street and has good access routes from most major stations in the North West and London. National Express coaches also go there but their schedule can be hit or miss. You can also fly to the airport with Easyjet.

You can get a taxi to the ground or drive. however, it may be more advisable to go to Sandhills Station as this has the benefit of a bus service to the ground, which runs for a couple of hours before and a couple of hours after a game and drops you within easy walking distance of the ground.

There is also a museum at the ground and the club offer combined tour & museum tickets as well as individual museum entrance. The ground is well signposted from the city centre. Liverpool John Lennon Airport (formerly Speke Airport) is about 10 miles from the ground, and taxis should be easily obtainable.
