Well organised, easy to go around & the staff were very quick to show me the way to the lifts as I use a walking stick. You get to see the home & away changing rooms & sit on the players seats in the changing room. We walked down the tunnel & touched the badge before being allowed pitch side. All the staff we encountered were lovely, polite & friendly with typical Liverpudlian wit!
