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....?

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 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.

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.

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....
