I wouldn't describe it as 'grotty' really, it has some fab places but Anfield isn't one of them but it's not the prettiest place in the world either

Extract from a Boston.com article entitled, 'Hardball in Liverpool' Hardball in Liverpool New American owners might find these soccer fans a pretty tough crowd December 7, 2010 Two months ago, Red Sox owner John Henry and his partners in New England Sports Ventures purchased Liverpool FC, historically one of Europe’s greatest soccer teams. Obviously, Henry, who admits he knows nothing about English soccer, is hoping to turn a few quid in the globalized sports marketplace. So far, Henry’s brief stewardship has been uneventful. The team is having a bad year under a mediocre coach, but its problems redound to the previous, despised American owners. Tom Hicks and George Gillett generated huge debts, public relations debacles, and no Premier League championships. For now, the Red Sox PR machine is pumping out happynews about Henry’s visits to grotty Liverpool — Worcester without the glitz — and about his wife’s inane Twitter messages to the fans, e.g. “Wow! Anfield [the team’s stadium] really is a special place!’’ For the full article click onto; http://www.boston.com/sports/soccer/art ... liverpool/ |

Not haveing been to the place for over 30 years I can't really judge but if it was good enough to be European city of culture for a year it can't be that bad can it ? |

It's a s***hole. City center is brand new and looks great but surrounding suburbs are a disgrace. |

Maybe it's because I drive through it of a night it just doesn't look that bad. Obviously there are a few grotty areas but the same will be said of any city or large town |

Been up quite a few times but never been into the City Centre itself. From the outside it does look a bit grim, I don't know if it gets any better the further in you go?? |
