“Even if it was behind closed doors, there’d be many thousands of people who would turn up outside Anfield,” said Anderson, a fan of Liverpool’s city rivals Everton.

There’s not many people who would respect what we were saying and stay away from the ground, a lot of people would come to celebrate so I think it’s a non-starter”, club said in a statement.

“I think it would be really difficult for the police to keep people apart and maintain social distancing if they were going to celebrate outside Anfield. It would be farcical. A lack of evidence to support such claims. In recent weeks, we have engaged with supporters’ groups who have informed us of their determination to respect social distancing measures,” the club added.

Club told that the events of football resumption after being announced, so they will continue there work with other key stake holders.
