Anfield is a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool which has a seating capacity of 45,276 making it the seventh largest football stadium in England. It has been the home of Liverpool F.C. since their formation in 1892. It was originally the home of Everton F.C. from 1884 to 1891, before they moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent. The stadium has four stands: the Spion Kop, Main Stand, Centenary Stand and Anfield Road. The record attendance of 61,905, was set at a match between Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1952. The ground converted to an all-seater stadium in 1994 as a result of the Taylor Report which greatly reduced its capacity. Two gates at the ground are named after former Liverpool managers: Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley; a statue of Shankly is outside the stadium. The ground is 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool Lime Street railway station. It was proposed in 2002 to replace the stadium with a new one in the adjacent Stanley Park, but after the acquisition of Liverpool F.C. by Fenway Sports Group in 2010 the new owners plan to redevelop Anfield, increasing its capacity to 58,000.

 * Comment can you say why you think the 19th is a good date? A better date would surely be the 28th, as the 130th anniversary of the first match. 81.96.25.13 (talk) 17:45, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the blurb and added the main editor and recent article. Article looks ok to run, no opinion as to date. 81.96.25.13 (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2014 (UTC) I've also [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NapHit&diff=prev&oldid=622707559 notified] the main editor, but they haven't edited since January. 81.96.25.13 (talk) 07:03, 25 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, not sure why you created one account to propose this and another account to oppose this, but there we are. As we've had two football articles as TFA since mid-August, though, and as there's no support for a third, I'm not scheduling Anfield at this stage. BencherliteTalk 00:02, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
