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.

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

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.

Another troll rears his ugly head.

There are plenty other places that are a dump it just happens that this weekend it happens to be Liverpool for our flagship event. I believe Cardiff, Newcastle and Etihad (tho it pains me to say ) are far better venues. However, I'm aware that Anfield is "sacred" and beyond criticism so I'll leave it there for fear of upsetting anyone else.
