Any suggestions? Don't want to get involved in the Marathon nonsense so West of the ground seems a no-go area.



To the east lies the salubrious neighbourhoods of Norris Green and Croxteth (or Crocky to the locals!). Famed for their appearances on Ross Kemp on Gangs, I think I'll give that one a miss.





Neither the RFL or Super League sites are remotely helpful and apparently Stanley Park is out of bounds as there's a kids tournament on the Sunday which will basically mean it's full of parents and organisers cars.



Who the f*ck decided this dump was a suitable venue for our flagship weekend....?

Hope you find space to park but it is not a dump

Mate I'm from Salford and I'm well aware we have plenty of rough areas but sorry a large chunk of Liverpool is a dump! Apologies if that offends a few Scousers but 'tis true!

I reckon there's a fair chance some of your lot will have your markers at the ready to write nasty stuff in the bogs. Well those of you that can actually write.

I went to the 2nd best performing high school in the area so I is well clever innit?

There'll be no graffiti from me sausage, but I may save up for 3 days and then take a massive dump in the Kop end and not flush.

could be worse it could be held in Widnes, last time I visited there my pint pot stuck to the table top

makes me cringe thinking about it

couple of big car parks used just for the stadium, in decent walking distance and reasonably priced. expect bust=y traffic on the ring road.

yep that looks about right, that's entirely what i meant.

Get the train and the soccer bus. Park outside the city and get the train to Sandhills. https://www.superleague.co.uk/article/7 ... ic-weekend If I was travelling from out of the area I would stay in Southport for the weekend but if you need to park any of the towns and villages to the north of the city (once you are out of Bootle) have loads of parking.Trains start at Southport so you gat a seat but you will not get free parking unlike the other stations. Birkdale is rocking during the weekend.

He's out near Stockport as well so the logistics of getting trains into Manchester, out to Liverpool and then to the ground make it way more time consuming (and more expensive!) than driving. I've done the coast train from Southport before (lovely journey) so would have been the option if was doing the full weekend. Hopefully this is the one and only time Anfield gets the gig as it's really not supporter friendly when you compare it to Cardiff, Newcastle and The Etihad.

In what way is Anfield not as supporter friendly as the Etihad?



With a comment like that, you can't have been to Anfield - at least for a very long time.

It sounds like he may be a Man U fan ??

It's 2 miles out of the city centre.



There are minimal parking facilities.



Nearest train station is a 25 minute walk.



There is no tram service that services the stadium.



Millennium and St James Park are walking distance from their city centre (-10 minutes)



The Etihad has trams running right outside the ground plus at least 3 or 4 regular bus services.



Feel free to correct me on any of these points....

There's special buses direct to the ground from outside St George's hall which is directly opposite Lime St station and there's the same buses getting back to the city centre after the games so I don't think getting to the ground and back will be too much of a problem if you are not going by car/coach.



That said, I do think this will be the only magic weekend at Anfield which would be a relief to many of my fellow Saints fans who also follow Everton or Man Utd who I know are refusing to go this year because they don't want to step foot into that particular ground. I'm a blue through and through but will still be there on Sunday. If it's Saints I'm there, Anfield or not.

Agreed. I'm a Red (of the Manc variety) but Salford comes first and I'll be supporting them on Sunday.

The Etihad is 1.6m to Piccadilly and 2.1m to Victoria. It’s almost exactly as far from the city centre as Anfield.



There are a ridiculous amount of parking options within 10 mins of Anfield, if you can’t be bothered to do your research that’s your problem





Anfield has a continuous bus service or it’s a few quid in a taxi, less than a tram if shared.. The trams from the Etihad have massive queues. I know, I gave up and walked back to the city centre





The Etihad has about half the number of pubs / food outlets in the surrounding area. Worst ground ever for a pint.



Like I say, you can’t have been to Anfield any time recently or you’d know all this.

God, you're hilarious aren't you?



Liverpool is a cracking City, and has so much to offer fans. The stadium is as far from the City Centre as the Etihad and Murrayfield are, and they have made such an effort to make this a spectacle which all 12 clubs can enjoy.



If you hate the city so much, just don't go. I get that you're fishing for reactions, but i assure you, you'll find plenty of local car parks available, try any of the car parks near the stadium, even Goodison. It won't impact you and you're delirious ways.



If it doesn't suit you, why not go and park in Moss Side?





Ridiculous thread. Lets hope it's a success.

It's not ridiculous if you're not a Liverpool fan.

I've done plenty of research and no there aren't a ridiculous amount of parking options as many people have commented online. As it is I've found somewhere 10 mins away but it was not one that is openly advertised online.



Btw, I've also asked a couple of Liverpool fans in work who agree that there aren't great, safe options for parking. So yeah that's plenty of research. I get it, I've upset you as you're a Liverpool fan but don't let your team bias skew what the facts are.

Sorry but there are way better options and you know it. Parking is limited (and I've already highlighted my reasons for going In a car) whether you like it or not and even Liverpool fans themselves say it. (but what are they to know right?)





Looking forward to this spectacle which no-one has seen any advertising for.....

You haven't upset me at all sweetheart, you put the Etihad in the same bracket as Cardiff and Newcastle - when the reality is it's no better than Anfield in any way.



That's what I pulled you up on, it's all there in black and white. So asking a few of your armchair Liverpool fan mates if they know where to park, doesn't help your argument I'm afraid

How can you talk of 'team bias' when your obvious hatred of all things from the city of Liverpool, simply because you're a United fan, comes across in every single one of your posts in this thread?

The Etihad and St James Park are a thousand times better venues than Anfield.
