| The name came from a small hill in South Africa known as Spion Kop where in January 1900, during the Boer war, a battle left hundreds dead. Many of the soldiers killed came from Lancashire regiments with a strong contingent from Liverpool. The Liverpool Echo was the first to suggest calling it the Kop. |

| Anfield is the home to Liverpool Football Club, and is one of the most famous stadiums in the world. The ground itself consists of four stands; The Kop, Centenary Stand, Anfield Road End and Main Stand. |
 |
| This takes the total investment in the clubs infrastructure by Liverpool's owners, Fenway Sports Group, to around 220million. This breaks down into 100million for the Main Stand expansion and the new state of the art training facility in Kirkby which cost £50million. |

The Kop was once the biggest single tier structure in Britain, with a capacity of almost 13,000. Capacity 12,850
