Griffo Posted 9 September, 2012 Share Posted 9 September, 2012 Train tickets for the 1st December just went on sale today. £49 return from Euston, f*cking hell. For exactly the same trip to Lime Street for Everton it was 20 quid.. The weekend before we're in Liverpool, the same journey can be done for 23 quid. Bit weird?

Ewell Posted 30 September, 2012 Share Posted 30 September, 2012 Isn't there still a chance of this match being moved as there are currently no live SKY fixtures listed for December. I also have no idea on Liverpool's potential UEFA cup schedule, could that lead to a move also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 30 September, 2012 Share Posted 30 September, 2012 The ticket prices are far too high for me. For the 1st time I can remember I'll be giving Anfield a swerve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted 30 September, 2012 Share Posted 30 September, 2012 Don't think it is affected by Europa League as the game falls between Europa League weeks. Not sure about Sky but would imagine it's unlikely given the start both teams have made to the season, unless they see it as an early relegation six pointer. If this is £42 plus tax (for a Cat C game!) - as per the away ticket prices thread - they can do one as I'm not paying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have no idea on Liverpool's potential UEFA cup schedule, could that lead to a move also? No EL game for Liverpool the week before. And other fixtures that weekend include Man City v Everton, Reading v Man Utd and two London derbies in Fulham v Spurs and West Ham v Chelsea - 4 fixtures I'd consider more likely to be on TV than Liverpool v Saints.

Sometimes there is never any sense to the games SKY\ESPN pick so I think I will wait to book my train once these have been announced. There are usually 4 fixtures out of 10 moved per weekend so even though train prices will be more expensive personally I do not think it is worth the risk.

Glasgow_Saint Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Think I will go to this one........ how many did we sell for Everton and what was the allocation anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 1 October, 2012 Share Posted 1 October, 2012 Think I will go to this one........ how many did we sell for Everton and what was the allocation anyone know? Allocation was 1800, lower paddock was sold out and only empty seats in the upper bit of the lower tier were the back few rows, so about 1,700 I'd say.

pap Posted 22 November, 2012 Share Posted 22 November, 2012 So, where are the cool places to go before the Liverpool game? http://awaysupporters.co.uk/liverpool The Arkles is alright; drank in the Wetherspoons before Goodison. Loads of places on Oakfield Road, but I have no idea whether they're home or away. The real fun of the city is to be had at night. Rockers should probably the visit the Swan (if old like me) or the Krazy House (if younger). Do a wee bit of research before you come up. Pretty big places which caters to a lot of tastes and isn't ball-breakingly expensive. Plenty going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 22 November, 2012 Share Posted 22 November, 2012 Ship & Mitre in the centre is the best for real ale and away fan friendly. £8 taxi ride to Anfield, or Merseyrail and a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 23 November, 2012 Share Posted 23 November, 2012 If you want a quiet beer, head over to Goodison before the game and drink around there. We drank around Anfield before the Everton game; decent boozers, 10min walk from the ground, nice and quiet and no mongs throwing beer down themselves whilst singing OWTS out of tune.

It's alright I s'pose, but food is not great there. And it is a sausage fest. I'd agree the food is expensive and not great, but find your other comments strange as I was introduced to the place by my daughter and her uni friends, none of whom are middle aged and quite a few are relatively young and female. But I go there for the real ale, which is as good as anywhere in Liverpool. You clearly have different tastes and fortunately will probably be drinking elsewhere.

Sour Mash Posted 24 November, 2012 Share Posted 24 November, 2012 I guess everything is relative, and it is not a terrible shout, but its a bit of a waste in a city celebrated for its flange.

pap Posted 24 November, 2012 Share Posted 24 November, 2012 So which pubs would be full of 'flange' on a Saturday morning in Liverpool? Well from about midnight to 5am, pretty much all of them. However, mid-morning - probably best to stick to touristy places where you may find some committed, usually Irish hen parties. Of course, the sensible individual would be attempting to kill multiple birds with one stone. Coming to Liverpool just for the football is a bit like going to Alton Towers to ride on the fecking tea cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 24 November, 2012 Share Posted 24 November, 2012 really looking forward to this one , despite the over priced tickets always enjoy going up to Anfield. I disagree with Pap , the nightlife is decent but not as good as he makes out in my experience. I find the city to be enjoyable for a day time session sampling some of the many old fashioned pubs that still exist , try having a bowl of scouse for lunch at the Baltic fleet pub down by the Albert dock. for those of you who haven't been before I recommend watching this video to give you an idea what to expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as good as London, but then it isn't as dear. So what, Liverpool scrapping it out with who? Manchester, Newcastle, Brum and possibly Leeds? I don't even agree with Manchester, Brum or Leeds.

If a mile or so covers "just over", aim for Newsham Park. Loads of residential streets around it ( Boaler Street off Sheil Road is a good fit ). Leave your car, get on Shiel Road, then it's basically one long road with different names for each bit. Shiel Road Belmont Road Oakfield Road Like I say, all one continuous road. About 1.2 - 1.3 miles. Easy enough to walk; far enough not to be an obvious parking spot, which helps on both ease of parking and "mind your car, mister" shenanigans you might encounter.
