The worst part of Anfield is actually those new builds. At least the old stuff, poorly maintained as it is, has character and quality. New stuff is just ugly, completely unsuited to the area, and a testament to shady Fat Joe and his mates at Keepmoat. It wasnt redeveloped it was DE-developed.

[@jesusislord8895]

I lived in Anfield for donkeys years, I lived in granton road, the community was boss, they forced us out to knocked all our houses down to make the ground bigger, wouldn’t mind our street was opposite Sam dods they destroyed the community ye know, it’s never been the same, makes me sad watching this video, we kept it nice, everyone had nice houses and all the mums would sit on the front while all the kids would play, sad to see it like this

[@RS-xx9ve]

So many beautiful old Victorian buildings could have been revamped. Instead they were replaced with tat. Meanwhile the stadium which could be a saviour to N Lpool is still being strangled because the shady mayor was an Evertonian and too pally with Keepmoat. Shameful.

Easy to blame LFC and not the council or the locals.

[@joseparcenary4706]

Does Liverpool FC actively want the area around their stadium to become run down so that they can buy it all up and expand?

[@LiClan]

It’s great idea for the shareholders who don’t live anywhere near the team they own.

[@KJ_2020]

Is this where 28 Years Later is being filmed?

[@YJB8CCFC]

Is that true what he says? That EFC put back into the community, but LFC don’t? Isn’t it more a council thing? Was visiting Liverpool in November, I’m from Swansea. Got to say the city centre is spotless and vibrant, but go a few miles out and it’s run down and dilapidated.

[@harryturnbull4781]

So much for having one of the biggest brands in world sport. Spend millions on players but almost nothing in the local community. So much for trickle down wealth.

Seriously is this a wind-up? This area looks amazing and so empty. Where are all the flower shrines on the streets for all the stabbed dead kids as you have in London? No traffic jams & ample parking and no crowds of thousands of 3rd world people and without the constant violent attacks & shootings. This area looks sedate & where old white men like" Lee" can sit out on the street smoke and have a drink without being killed. Absolutely heaven.

Remember the secret millionaire in Anfield must have been 10-15 years ago and it looks the same. Tragic that a club like Liverpool with its global brand can't put anything back into the community.

First time I was in Liverpool this year in march it was my dream to see game at Anfield and it became true. But what I saw in the city shocked me. Massive rubbish. I don't understand how this city can look like that having two, big worldwide clubs. (sorry for my english).

@@vitocorleone6023 yes I know and I was in many nice places :) Liverpool city museum, city centre, The Beatles Experience, of course The Cavern, Philharmonic Dining Room (most beautiful pub I’ve ever been) and many more. What I’am talking about is garbage on the streets outside the city center and stuff like that. Anyway, love this city and I’ll be back ;)

[@FrancisCavanagh-qi6rd]

Anfield used to be a nice place many years ago then Liverpool FC bought some of the houses and left them empty for years it then turned into a 💩 hole just what Liverpool FC wanted as they got the houses cheaper. If you look at anfield and county road they have been neglected for years but Liverpool FC and Everton FC have made billions and their players are well off but the people in the areas have had nothing in return. And they are the ones who suffer each match day.

Instead of donating 1000 tickets per home game, why not sell the tickets to tourists and re-invest the money into the community. 1000 tickets x £50 each = 50k raised per game (or 950k per season) from PL matches alone.
