Att: Australians - Liverpool at the MCG in July!

[banditos]

Do a google search on the MCG & you'll see that it's a very steep 100k stadium. We regularly play the big international matches there

Dom's right though, the view of the game can be pretty crap given the gap from the edge of the pitch to the stands.

[SB]

Yep. Middle tier is probably the only spot where you could actually get a good view of the action. That's what you get in a city where AFL is the dominant code. Atmosphere should be pretty good though, with close to 100k reds fans who rarely get to see their team.

Will we be playing the socceroos?

It will be 1000 times better than a dodgy stream at 3 in the morning.

Don't know, I think the game may be in Sydney, and if it is then it is at Homebush which holds 84,000. There are a lot of unhappy united fans, so it could've sold a lot more, on top of that the LFC game will be against Victory, who, apparently, have the biggest supporter base in the A-League. They estimate that the Victory will have at least 30K at the game, the United game is against an all star team, the only fans at the United game will be united fans.

Confirmed?

Hmmm, fair enough. I could be wrong then. Half the Victory fans would also be reds fans I imagine. Always tons of LFC strips at their games.

The story of my life!

The story of my life!

the atmosphere will be amazing. I'd love to see us in Asia as well. There pretty fanatical.

Yeah, but at least those games mean something.

[SB]

Yeah, but at least those games mean something.

Anytime I watch LFC play it means something to me. That's all I need. Plus we will get to see loads of our players which you don't normally see.

Really I didn't think that was funny at all.

[Fosterbloke]

Time well spent maybe another time

We may be heading your way again in May/June!

Are you in Surfer's Paradise?

[banditos]

Really I didn't think that was funny at all.

Your to me was.

[Redspin]

Yeah I know how it looks. I just can imagine a football pitch in the middle of a cricket pitch. Just seems so far away.

You can't have gone to Sheffield United in the 70s then. Bramall Lane was one of the grounds regularly used by Yorkshire CC so the football pitch had grandstands on only three sides. One side of the football pitch was completely open with the cricket outfield spreading towards a cricket pavilion in the distance. Looked really bizarre, but the TV cameras were on the cricket pavilion side and zoomed in so it looked like a normal football ground on TV.

I've stayed in the Hilton opposite the MCG a few times and it does look an impressive stadium, far more like a traditional football stadium than a cricket ground so I'm sure it'll be a good venue for the game. It certainly couldn't look remotely as wrong as playing football at Bramall Lane did in the past

[dom9]

Haha, I've never had the pleasure of going to Bramall Lane. In any era.
