Hi,
Hull FC fan recently started work in Liverpool, which station is best for the stadium, and how far away from the station is it?

Thanks in advance.

St Helens Central Station is the best one for you from Liverpool mate. Then its a 5-10 min walk from there.

You can either turn left out of station and walk up and over to the Glass museum behind B&M , turn left under the bridge then go over the saints bridge which brings you out at Tesco next to the ground.

Or out of the station turn left, left again over the bridge, past KFC/Matalan, over the roundabout and go past the retail park and Saints ground is on your right behind it. Either way is just as good.

Thanks, hope it's a good game, should be, far too close to call for me, you're hitting form at just the right time.

Agree should be a close match but I think we will just edge it with Hull having one eye on the Challenge cup final in 2 weeks time.

I don't think we're too worried about Wigan in honesty, Saints are the team to beat to cement top 4, we should have learnt from last season that the next game (whoever we are playing) is the most important!

Hard to believe but we are unbeaten at home in over 5 months! (8 wins, 1 draw since last defeat) and come into this game having won our last 4 matches. (Even more hard to believe we have only won 3 away games! 2 of which the last 2 games played?!) So will be a real 4 pointer on Friday, cant wait for it. Oh some more info for you below from the saints page on travel.

Nearest station: St Helens Central (0.7 miles)

St Helens Central rail station is only a ten minute walk to The Totally Wicked Stadium. Northern run frequent services from Liverpool, Wigan and Preston.

The Totally Wicked Stadium can be reached via the Steve Prescott Bridge, which is constructed over the linkway to the North of The Totally Wicked Stadium; the bridge can be reached by following Shaw Street and then Chalon Way East past the St Helens Chamber of Commerce.

Any suggestion where to go for a drink pre-game, I'll have my FC shirt on.

There is the Red V bar at the ground next to the ticket office that both sets of fans frequent on match days. Think it is open from 5pm on match days.

Or when you come out of the train station there is a pub right outside, Royal Alfred, but don't think it is populated with rugby fans.

A lot of fans go to the 'Glass Horse' but that is not on the way from the station you have to go past the ground (Tesco side) follow the link way, past Arnold Clark garage, and its on the round about on the link way. A lot of away fans go there as opposite it is the ford garage and the away fans coaches park up around the back of it.

Thanks, I'll head to there, might be a bit earlier if I get away from work earlier

The away coaches now park at the ground. Most supporters seem to head to the George or Wetherspoons which are only two minutes from the station.

Didn't know the away coaches parked there now?!. Used to be at the back of the Ford garage. Must be new for this season, but I always see away fans at the Glass horse as I walk past it every game to get to the ground. Ive seen the coaches at the ground but thought that they might be for the players / teams and/or the Sky Sports / media entourages. Oh well, you live and learn.

Then yeah the weatherspoons is best for you. its the Glass House opposite the glass museum. (that's not a typo about the pub names, we have both a glass house and a glass horse pub )

Thanks for the advice, went to the Lass Horse, first time ever I've been charged "per shot" for black currant, and it was measured! Love the ground, good result, awful game not helped by useless officiaks, how Child is a SL referee is beyond me. Have a feeling you'll make a good shot at Old Traffiord, get Grace's defence and positioning fixed and he'll do great things.

Your welcome. Yeah grace is a raw diamond, hope Holbrook develops him well.

Don't get me started on Child, awful ref, like so many others this season, he spoilt the game and the weather didn't help either team too.
