    My 5 year old is absolutely obsessed with the Reds and like many hasn’t been in the stadium for 18 months. Bringing him to Calypso Cove tomorrow and wondered what the chances are of being able to nip inside the stadium after?

    I don’t think we even do tours now but even 10 mins just looking at the pitch etc would make his whole summer holidays.

    I’m guessing the chances are remote, anyone any idea?

    I had a walk around the outside last week hoping that one of the gates might be open for groundsmen. Alas it was all shut up but I saw the academy pitches which looked in good nick.
    Since you're already there it'd be worth a walk round.

    You could always try and ring the club I guess to see if someone will let you quickly to pitch side. Might be a longshot etc. but if you don't ask you don't get. Worst they can say is no and you would just have to go walk around the ground and maybe pop to club shop etc.

    Sometimes there is a gate or door open at the back of the east stand maybe you could give that a go, or like Nathan says just ask someone they might say yes.

    I don't see them saying no. No harm in asking.
