Thanks Carra

Yesterday was a great day out! We left home at about 7.30 am and were parked near Anfield by about 11.30, one stop on the way and a bit of congestion but nothing too bad.
I was surprised at how many people were already around Anfield even at that time, but a tribute to Carra's popularity.
I took Seb into the shop to get him a shirt and scarf, which ended up being a home shirt and goalies kit and a rucksack for school! We definitely picked the wrong queue which took 45 minutes to get served, while all the others were going about 3 times our speed.
I think at this pony Seb was a bit overwhelmed with so many people, all liverpool fans in one place.
We got to our seats to see the end of the exhibition game, which the people in front of us informed us had paid £12,500 per team to play, raising £25,000 for the 23 foundation.
Then the players came out to warm up and what a surprise to see Stevie G come out! He only played an easy 15 minutes but a great gesture and added treat to all those who were there and expected him not to be there due to his England duties.
The game was good entertainment, all played in the spirit of the day, great goal by Garcia, Babel and Joe Cole there and from what I saw of shelvey I was impressed.
I thought I heard them say that there was about 36,000 people there! Not a bad turnout by anyones standards.
But we got home at about 8.30pm and Seb said he had the best day od his life, he was shattered and had been a good lad all day and can't wait to go again.
Its a bit scary when you consider that we were out for 13hrs for 90 minutes of football, the cost of the tickets, petrol, club shop and other bits an pieces does make for an expensive trip, but as we don't get a chance to go often, all worth while.

Thanks Carra.
