Any football fan will have some sort of fascination for the Kop. The way the fans get behind the players is truely amazing and words cannot describe the atmosphere there.Right from the start till the final whistle the fans get behind the team and charge them up in such a way that losing is not even on their minds. Their morale is boosted so so high that winning by 3 or 4 goals at Anfield is a common sight. No club in Europe comes close to the amount of support and noise made by the fans at the Kop End. Even in the worst of times you will see the fans from the Kop End getting behind the players. Its a custom for Liverpool to play facing the Kop End during the second half as it is believed that the Kop has some sort of a magnet which sucks the balls towards itself. The Liverpool anthem " You Will Never Walk Alone " is yelled by the fans and that truely inspires the team in red to run riot at Anfield.The entire stadium turns into a volcano. The opposition team and their fans curse their luck for being paired against them because they know that winning at Anfield and bearing the high decibel levels of the Kop End is no big joke. For the opposition just facing the supporters seated at the Kop is very intimidating and the morale comes down to zero.
