FOR as long as I can remember, making Anfield bigger and better has been a recurring debate. When Liverpool are successful, the issue intensifies further. Those days when you could walk up, pay in, and watch the match are long gone. And tickets for the aways are like...
TWENTY-SEVEN years. The cross we all continue to bear every day of our lives, writes GEORGE BEVAN. At first this seems a rather excessive remark and a statement that can become somewhat tired, particularly when drawled out endlessly regardless of adequate context, yet...
IAN Ayre has admitted that the Anfield Road end wouldn’t have the benefit of hospitality and as such would not be a “smart investment for the business”. Redeveloping the Anfield Road end was initially outlined as phase two of the plans to redevelop Anfield, of which...
IAN Ayre has admitted the club will be “cautious” before proceeding with the next steps in developing Anfield and “not promise anything” until they are ready to execute such a plan. The expanded Main Stand was opened this season and has proved...
THEY say a change is as good as a rest, and anyone who has had the misfortune of sitting in the old Main Stand can attest to the fact that it was in dire need of one or the other. The place had become a collective drain on the atmosphere and the team; a fortnightly...
FOR the first time in almost a quarter of century, The Main Stand is no longer a misnomer. Housing upwards of one third (20,200 to be exact) of Anfield’s new 54,742 capacity, this impressive new monolith dwarfs the Centenary Stand opposite and the famous Kop to its...
THIS weekend sees the opening of that massive new Main Stand. You know the one, you can see it from everywhere. Ever since Everton spent their rent money on Victorian Lonsdale and got chucked out, Anfield has been home to the Reds, but the stadium has obviously...
I RECEIVED an email this morning. Some of you may have received the same email. If not, you may have possibly noticed it mentioned in passing on Twitter. To be honest, I found out about it from Twitter before I saw the email. Don’t check my emails that often at...

The Pub Crawlers Podcast: Nottingham (S1E3)
The third episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded in Nottingham, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Martin Fitzgerald to discuss the local pub scene, Indian restaurants, students, and more…
The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland.
Well, sort of. It’s equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it’s as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves.
The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true’ pub.
Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob’s mates), we’ll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers.
The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham.
Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC. And you don’t need a pint to enjoy us, but it might help…
