Now, as a denizen of the Lower Centenary Stand, I can’t comment on the rest of the ground, but would it be asking too much for similar facilities to be installed to keep us entertained before the game at Anfield?

At the very least we might see the team line-ups at the same time as the rest of the country, rather than wait until five to three for Phil Easton to share the secret with us.

And guess what I found in the toilets?

Yes, you’re right: HOT WATER!

And hot-air blowers to dry the hands of the 5% who actually wash them after visiting the urinals!

No need to restore the circulation to frozen digits, or rip them to pieces trying to extricate the next piece of tissue paper from its inaccessible holder.

What these boffins can produce, eh?

If Preston can do all this, why can’t we?

The club have been reluctant to spend any money on the ground for the last few years while they have striven to find the funding for the new stadium.

Now that we know this isn’t going to happen for at least three seasons, can we at least stop Anfield from sliding into the neglect that has befallen its immediate surroundings?

Decent toilet facilities and a few tellies would help, and maybe some indication around the ground that we’ve actually won a few things and had one or two decent players?

Even Chelsea have murals of Peter Osgood, Charlie Cooke and a few dozen others you’ve never heard of around the Bridge.

And don’t get me started on the video screens...
