      Doubt they do the day after a game.  Best to contact the club direct as well for requests to attend Melwood.

      Good Luck Buddy....I went over to the promised land in October and I went down to Melwood.


      4 coppers met me near the gates ....said you can't come in...I asked if I could take a photo....I've come all the way from Australia... and they said quick and then pretty much get the F**k out.

      This is what I got:





      So redkenny took me for a spin around the complex and this is all I could get of the training field:







      Having said that though mate, I never rang the club.....good luck to ya.

      See them houses in the distance?  Should have knocked there.  They may have been more accomodating. ;)

      Liverpool FC really could do a little more to accomodate supporters in this respect.  I'm not saying complete access but some type of limited thing.

      Would one open session a month be too much to ask?

      Years ago they used to come out at the Melwood Drive gate which is the other side and you could sneak in. Now they have a permanent steward on the gate at the Deysbrook entrance - which is the first pic AussieRed posted.

      If you've come all this way, best bet is to get down there around 9am or just before. One of my mates lives round the corner and he usually see's Rafa and a few of the lads arriving when he's walking up to work. Earlier the better I'd say.

      When I drive past there when I'm working that area, you usually get a few people pulling things up to the wall so they can stand on them and watch the lads train. Or you get a few workies sitting on top of their vans.

      Think a lot of them usually leave about 1:30pm/2pm. That's when you see a bit of a crowd gathering outside the gates and you're likely to see a few players driving past you.

      So redkenny took me for a spin around the complex and this is all I could get of the training field

      How many times did it start pissing down everytime you got out the van mate?  :lmao: That was comedy that!

      By the way, the Bill Shankly playing fields are just up the road from Melwood. You got a pic of that too Aussie mate?

      You could have told me that earlier redkenny mate  :lmao:  :lmao:

      You're right mate, forgot about that...every time I got out of the van to take a photo...it pissed down on me...I'd get back in the van and it would stop :f_wah:   atleast you got a good laugh out of it mate  ;)


      Indeed I did get a pic of the Bill Shankly playing fields...thanks for taking me mate.

      Only just found this thread.  :-[

      I've been into Melwood several times, but that was ages ago, when things were a bit more relaxed, been on organised trips with the supporters club to actually watch the players training, take photo's and get autographs.

      Also been on my own and they did let me in, even parked me car inside  ;D had a very nice long conversation once with Ian Rush who wasn't training as he was injured.

      Can't imagine being able to do that nowadays  :(


      By the way..........they are boss piccy's Aussie Red, big ups to Redkenny for taking you.............I've never been to the Bill Shankly playing fields though  :(

      Sorry for reserecting this again but would appreciate some info.
      I plan to attend the Norwich game in Oct with my 2 sons aged 9 and 11 and was wondering if Melwood is worth a trip on the Friday before the game to see the players and get autographs etc etc.

      Am I realstically wasting my time ?

      Thanks Molly

      Thanks - I spotted that thread earlier but discarded it in my own mind due to it been over  2 1/2 years old. I wonder does the same times apply due to the fact we have differant management now as opposed to then ?

      It's a pity the reds don't offer some kind of training viewing for the fans.  Open for an hour or so on a Friday surely wouldn't be a huge intrusion.

      Appreciate the problems with parking etc around there.  But even if they only offered say 50 places, it would be a nice little experience not only for some local fans, but those coming from all over to spend the weekend in the city.
