WHOOSH

The game was originally Saturday

For the Four Nations game at Anfield we walked round to Liverpool Central and got a train to Sandhills and caught the Soccer Bus. All ran very smoothly although I must admit I'm not sure it's any quicker than just jumping in a bus/taxi from the city centre.

So it's 20 minutes by bus from the train station to a major international match ?

That's further than the LSV , I await the howls of derision and criticism on here

Are we possibly the only sport where it is "de rigueur" to find fault with absolutely every detail of an event?
1. Match being played at Anfield
2. Buy tickets for match
3. Google is pretty much perfect for finding out everything else, but if any info is missing, there will be a number found on google to call the transport agency in Liverpool to find out
4. Nah....it's just Easier to post inane questions of a RL forum


From 12,000 miles away......5 minute walk to the Greek Street Bus stop (C) and then a 16 minute bus journey on the #17 bus.

Yes the soccer bus is running. From Sandhills station according to the bus companies twitter.

Why do people complain they can't go by train. I went to Liverpool on the train today and both journeys were delayed and standing room only, total rubbish

Well I'd have gone , but as we don't have a train station in Leigh , I couldn't make it

Now if there was a road or a motorway from Leigh to Liverpool , I'd have definitely gone

Shame that

Understandable

I am aware of both the stranglehold Soccer has as well as the sharp end of austerity hitting many people, but 63,000 bothered going to see Wales v Scotland in Cardiff at the weekend....what the hell is that all about? Wales v a Touring side maybe, but Scotland? Both Scotland and Wales as nations have been as hard hit by austerity as the North, but still 63,000 for a pointless friendly (other than to generate ticket/broadcast revenue). As far as I know there are 2 Pro scots teams and 4 Pro welsh....6 sides. We've got 11 pro sides in the UK but only got 43k over 2 games so far......it just doesn't compute.....RL fans have no RL outgoings until the new season in Feb, so whilst Austerity is hitting hard, it's the same for the fans of other sports too yet they seem to manage?

Where's the demand for tickets that these other sports have? Can you still by tickets for England v the Kiwis next week? Why? You can't get tickets to the Other England v NZ game on that weekend, so why are there still tickets available? Yes I blame the RFL, but I also blame the fans who are happy to whine on here about lac of internationals or lack of Media interest and then turn up in taxi-load numbers to internationals played in the heartlands.

67,919 was the attendance of the first 2 tests in 2015 with the total for all 3 a respectable 92,660 and 31k average........anything less than a full house next week will be an embarrassment to the RFL

The usual dick-measuring autopsy I see!

A580 East Lancs Road?
1 mile from Leigh and less than 1 mile from Anfield.

Whooosh!!
