The club has also, for the fourth year running, come top in terms of its accessibility assessment which looks at the experience and service provided to disabled supporters.

Andrew Parkinson, Liverpool’s operations director said: “We are absolutely delighted with the result. The experience fans receive when they visit Anfield is truly unique and leaves a lasting memory about this great club.”

Graham Smith, chair of the Liverpool FC Official Supporter’s committee, added: “The fans make the Anfield experience what it is and the LFC Supporters’ Committee are delighted that the local ‘scouse’ warmth is appreciated by everyone visiting the ground, both near and far and it will be something that will remain for generations to come.”

The VisitFootball standard has been developed in partnership with Live Tourism and VisitEngland.

The scheme helps clubs set benchmark standards for match experience from the perspective of home supporters, visiting supporters, supporters with specialist access requirements and supporters in hospitality areas.
