Niether of the two football grounds are close to the city centre. Niether of the two will be that impressed that rugby types will be on the pitch. If the aim is too attract local support then Everton is the better ground as the majority of home football supporters are local, whereas the majority home football support for Livepool is not. Wonder whats happening with Saints home games with Wigan and Leeds?

it doen't always work like that though!!!

this season we played Harlequins at home first game and we play them away the last game!

we also played Leeds away in May and at home in June!!!

yea but i cant see everton letting the game be played during a season *before may after august*

Nah,Fergie said theres to much rugby played on it already..

looking at Wigans pitch on Friday (which was immaculate) it would appear football makes a mess of the pitches in winter..not RL in Summer

Quite right - it's a misconception put about by tossball that playing rugby on firm to hard pitches where there is minimal to no pushing in the scrum so no pushing against the turf, no digging pyramids of mud for kicks and no covering the pitch with sand to soak up the surface water, damages the pitches to a level where the overpaid primadonnas break their toenail when they trip over a blade of grass.

On another point - I bet James Graham will be well impressed playing at Goodison Park, if he still is at Saints next season that is...

I presume they're only playing the one game away from home against us, as widnes is as close if not closer to us, therefore hindering the 'home' advantage. So they might as well play it in scouse-land try n drum up some extra support for when they get the new ground

Sounds right we take the most to Saints so it's only fitting. Would of prefered it at Anfield rather than the at Neverton mind.

Anfield or Goodison Park - it will still be played at an Everton Ground. Glad it's looking like heading to the 'Grand Old Lady' instead of the stadium donated to the Kopites.

Transport wise, on Toffee's matchday's they have Soccerbuses from the City Centre, but can't see these being operated for Rugby.

For those who may be going to Goodison for the 1st time, most people's reaction is one of shock at its size compared to expectation. And I can't see the match even remotely filling it to be honest. It might be prudent to close the Bullens Road end and have the 3 stands in view of the TV Camera's full.

I hope it does indeed go ahead at Goodison, the thought of sitting in the Gwladys Street end cheering on the Wire will bring tears to the eyes of many Warringtonian/Evertonians.

(Maybe even a cheeky Z Cars Entrance?)

There is only a 4,000 difference in capacity!

Maybe if this goes ahead Saints and Wire could take a note of what union does when they moves games to Wembley or HQ
