LFC asks fans to work together to ensure safe arrival of team bus

The club would like supporters to keep welcoming the team bus – it’s a big part of the Anfield pre-match atmosphere – but to do that safely, the road must be kept clear on Anfield Road. If it’s blocked, which was the case for the Champions League tie against Paris Saint-Germain, then there will be no choice but to reroute the team bus.

Meet and greets along Anfield Road are a matchday tradition. Fans attending the match can help to make sure the team gets the welcome they deserve without compromising safety by staying on the footpaths, staying off the road and by using the whole length of Anfield Road.

Rerouting the team bus is not something the club wants to do for any game, but it is something that will happen if the route is deemed unsafe.

LFC’s safety team and Merseyside Police officers will be coordinating the operation on Anfield Road this evening. Please support the guidance from the police and stewards if asked to move to a safer position in order for the team bus to pass safely and arrive at the stadium in good time.

The club will continue to work with matchday stakeholders, including Merseyside Police and leading fan groups, to ensure the best outcome for everyone involved to enjoy the remainder of the Premier League season.

Thank you for your continued support.
