Going in the Away End

[Kop_on]

I have a better than 50-50 chance of getting a ticket for the Newcastle game, albeit in the away section.

 

I'm based in Ireland & get over to Anfield once a year on average. The segregation of fans is a little alien to me.

 

I've a few questions:

 

1.) If a steward sees me in the Newcastle crowd, will I be removed from the stadium, or just the Newcastle section?

 

2.) Would there be any other penalties for me accruing from doing this?

 

3.) Just how bad is it? I'm well able to handle myself, but what is the likelihood of it turning nasty?

 

4.) Is it worth it?

 

 

Anyone who's done it before, or any stewards, let me know what you think

i would imagine that the away end for that game will be full of reds.

[Cobs]

Behave yourself and you should be fine

[psl]

Get in the ground any way you can!

[Duncan Disorderly]

If you're that worried, give me your ticket.

[smithdown]

Newcastle are sound anyway.

I'll wear a Newcastle jersey if I have to.

It'll be fine. The away end at Goodison when we were smashing them a few years back was fun.

[Chewie]

Me dad n cousin have exact same tickets ...and they have no compunction about it at all. I'm currently trying to persuade either one of them it wouldn't be safe...

[smithdown]

Looks like they are throwing a good few up for sale, hard to blame them when people are talking grands.

It's not bad

 

4.) Is it worth it?

Yes

If it's the day we all hope it will be I'd say the Newcastle fans would be alright with you. You probably won't be alone in there either.

[johngibo YPC]

Just do it

What are they going to do?

Even if you have to sit on your hands for the whole game, you still get to see Gerrard lift the trophy

[Jonesy]

I have done this before. It was the year michael owen got a hattrick. You've nothing to worry about.

Make you wear a Sunderland top that way you'll be wearing the right colours and endear yourself with the Mags fans.

Say it's a mark of respect - half Liverpool colours, half Newcastle. Like a souped up "half 'n half" scarf

[Maldini]

Just thinking, if tickets in our end are going for thousands I'd say a lot of Newcastle fans will be hawking their tickets to reds desperate to get in. Could be more Liverpool fans than Newcastle fans in there.

[D.Boon]

Ive just put a shout out to a few Geordie mates to see if i can swing something.

[Molby]

will be full of reds

 

but if needs be, just burst in to tears, find a steward and asked to be moved as the Newcastle fans are bullying you

 

they HAVE to help you (finally a use for health and safety)

That worked for me and you at Maine Rd in 85 iirc. The cup semi final v Utd . I think we ended up on the telly.

Thanks guys. That was pretty much my attitude - go in, enjoy myself & try not to provoke anyone. If s*** happens, it happens. Just need to hope my brother's brother in law can deliver the goods he says he can.

[McBain]

Thought this was gonna be about taking a s***

Ah yeah, I think you're right.

 

Me and him over celebrated that goal for us (Paul McGrath OG), in the United end. Not smart, in retrospect. The cops, bless 'em, rightly spotted that we were about to be murdered and got us moved.
