We returned to Liverpool and spent the day at Anfield and Goodison Park, where we filmed around the grounds and spoke to fans and security. We also filmed in Stanley Park which is situated between the two grounds and is where football hooliganism used to take place as fans arrived and left the ground. We got some footage using a presenter in-case we decided to use one in our film.

We spent the evening/night at Anfield where the game between Liverpool and Zenit St. Petersburg took place. This was very productive as we managed to get all the shots we hoped for showing both sets of fans around the stadium and the large police presence. We also witnessed some trouble which was tackled by police. They were very tolerant with us and did not mind us filming around the stadium.
We interviewed a local who had witnessed some trouble between fans at a pub next to the ground and we also saw the aftermath of a Zenit fan who had been bottled by a Liverpool fan.
We waited until the end of the game because the Zenit fans were held back and then escorted by police once the Liverpool fans had left, we filmed this which was very useful as it clearly shows the methods used by the police to reduce football violence.
This time we only took the Nikon D3100 because we knew we would be on the move all the time around the ground and it was perfect to leave on a tripod and move to a new spot. The unpredictability of fans and police meant we were on our toes all night!
The decision was made to return to Liverpool again to get the interview with Andy Nicholls which would happen to coincide with Everton playing Oldham in the FA Cup. This would mean we could get footage from both teams and speak to our main contributor.
