‘A Big Red Thank You’ was held in recognition of the continued support during the thrilling 2017-18 season that saw the Reds reach the Champions League final.
Local families gathered at the stadium to enjoy a unique Anfield experience, while the Family Park on Anfield Road was opened specially and run by the club’s official charity, LFC Foundation, which organised a variety of family activities including an inflatable football pitch, bouncy castle, face painting and a balloon artist.
Radio presenter Baz Todd also entertained the crowds, inviting them to take part in a general knowledge quiz, and ‘keepy-uppy’ and ‘floss-off’ competitions.
The families enjoyed complimentary tours of the stadium with access to the Main Stand facilities, including the state-of-the-art players’ dressing room and the tunnel.
And they were welcomed into the lounges at Anfield to have a bite to eat and watch a screening of Liverpool’s pre-season friendly with Napoli, broadcast live from Dublin.
Local resident Graham Symes said: “Many local people have never experienced a proper LFC matchday, so today has been brilliant.
“My kids loved the tour around the stadium, and we even got to meet LFC legends David Fairclough and Alan Kennedy.”
