About this audio guide
This guide to Anfield in Liverpool looks past the football at the Main Stand as a piece of engineering, starting with a single steel truss and the two giant cranes hired to raise it in twenty fifteen. It follows the builders from Carillion through a season when fans kept arriving every match day, and the wind limits, counterweights and tonnage behind the work. Stand where you can see the Main Stand roofline.
