Fans of Liverpool have been reacting to footage posted on Twitter which shows the development of the club’s new training ground.
The new training facilities in Kirkby, reported to have cost £50 million, are scheduled to be ready for the start of the 2020/21 season.
A statement posted on the club’s website read: “The new 9,200m² building in Kirkby will boast three pitches measuring approximately 32,000m², with dedicated goalkeeping and warm-up areas separating two of the pitches and an outdoor sports area with a full-size tennis court, artificial grass head tennis court, a large artificial grass training area, two padel tennis courts and a beach volleyball court.
“The playing surfaces have been made to mirror Anfield’s turf as closely as possible, complete with under-soil heating and floodlighting.”
In reaction to the footage, Liverpool fans have taken to social media, with many swooning over the state-of-the-art facilities.

What do we think?
With Manchester City having opened the Etihad Campus in 2014, Liverpool’s new training facilities look equally as impressive and look set to rival that of City’s.
