View From The Top Posted 9 September, 2012 Share Posted 9 September, 2012 Anyone found any good train deals? Booked mine ages ago with London Midland, so yes but as I live in the North Midlands it's easy for me. Just booking Liverpool away as well!

Lets B Avenue Posted 9 September, 2012 Share Posted 9 September, 2012 Have we ever won up there other than Kevin Davies wonder goal? March 1967. Eric Martin's debut. Chivers 1-0. April 1974. The day we got relegated. Channon, Osgood, O'Neil 3-0. I was at those 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 10 September, 2012 Share Posted 10 September, 2012 1 -0 Glen Cockerill days in March 92 days after the ZDS Final, where we took over 30,000. I was there among the approx 150 saints fans present at Goodison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 11 September, 2012 Share Posted 11 September, 2012 Im assuming we won't have the drama trying to get tickets for this like we did for Arsenal? Hope not, looking forward to this one. Not a chance. We'll take about 1K max to this one I'd have thought. Certainly never used to take many to Everton in the past. £35 for the lower paddock, £32 for the upper part of the lower tier. That is confirmed (by Everton's OS). Be nice if Saints could have the courtesy to inform us though, and of how many tickets we have been allocated. Guess that is asking a little too much.

JRM Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 Get a cab. Often have no choice but to walk it back though. when i was up there a couple of years back and did the Fulham game seemed they have improved the bus service after the game with loads lined up going back into town, was quite a small crowd that night though. cab from Lime St was really cheap, about £6 between 3 of us, definitely the best way to get to the ground in my opinion and have a relaxing drink in town or Albert Dock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 17 September, 2012 Share Posted 17 September, 2012 Making a weekend of it, going up Friday, game sat then Ian McNabb gig on a ferry in the mersey. Any ideas what to do friday pap? Er, depends. Two main areas of the city. Concert Square skews toward the 14-28 crowd, is replete with fit underdressed women. Mathew St is for about 28 upwards. Albert Dock is also worth a go, but it does tend to attract a LOT of people if there is a big gig on at the Arena. If you want to do something more cultural than drinking, there are a load of theatres ( Liverpool Empire, Playhouse, Everyman ). Also a load of cinemas, including a very civilised one that serves pints ( FACT ). Give us a few more specifics ( what you actually fancy doing, sort of music you're into, etc ) and I'd be more than happy to provide specialised advice.

I want tos pend a bit of time in the city center as I haven't been there for over 20 years, any sensible away fan/family friendly pubs you know of? (I will have my teenage son with me) First, you've got to check out The Crown. It's on your left when you come out of Lime St. Nice old Victorian pub with nice high ceilings and some very impressive interior work. I'd plan on making Liverpool One your lunch spot. Very family friendly, bars and restaurants, etc. Can be a bit pricey, depending on where you eat, but there are a couple of buffet restaurants there, including a Red Hot, so you're sorted for that. There are Wetherspoons etc nearby ( one in Whitechapel called the Welkin ) too, and I've never had any bother taking my kids in there. Mathew Street is right next to the Welkin too. Can't say all of the bars will let your nipper in, but most will, and aren't massively policed at that time of day anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll give Concert Sq a miss, Mrs JK wouldn't be too happy with me ogling all the women. I've been to Goodison and Anfield but never spent any time in the city, I suppose the Cavern needs to be done - is it open on a Fri night for a drink? Sat will be at the game then just drinking in the evening abd got all day sun til the gig in the evening. Music is always a good win for me and the mrs so anywhere that has live bands would be welcome Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 30 September, 2012 Share Posted 30 September, 2012 Had quite a good day of it drinking wise. The only real mis-step was going to the Welkin, which was just full of people stuffing their faces. Stopped off at Flanagan's Apple for a bit, then headed up toward County Road. The Wetherspoons just by the ground was a good mix of home and away fans, decent banter. Walked back past Anfield, jumped a taxi and ended up in the Shiel, a place I have been meaning to visit for some time. Snoring on the couch by ten, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
