It's about another mile n half after the Micklehead Green Pub at Lea Green but walking isn't really viable as the A570, St Helens Linkway, doesn't have any pavements! A taxi would cost around a fiver as it's a straight drive to the stadium but tell the taxi driver you want to go to Burger King (and then walk over to the Stadium) otherwise he may go the much longer local route to the actual Stadium entrance road. Best taxis are: Cable Cars - 01744609060; Critchleys -01744813184

Re. the car park times: the council started off with an 11pm close for the first game, then switched to 10:15pm. Having asked my snout at Saints, he says it's back to 11pm so I stand corrected on that one.

Nice one, cheers mate

Thanks a lot for that R.V.M its a great help for me as im coming by train and its not St Helens Central but St Helens Junction so the map is a big help [ plus the tip for the pub in the town centre

I'm stopping at the Park Inn as I'm doing the run on Sunday.

Thanks for the info pal! Much appreciated!

Any Stella in the George?

Not that I'm aware of but there is a "German" fridge fully stocked with a wide variety of imported Bavarian brews. And a cooker to match, with Bavarian grub for a quid a pop.

Also cask ale for the quaffers but I'm not 100% sure what's on this weekend.

The best person to comment is the Landlord, I'll point him to this thread.

Excellent. We'll be having a visit hopefully.

or try Thatto heath rlfc club house, cracking folks, always friendly, 5 mins drive from ground , cheap and cracking gaff too...
Met a top fella/ saints fan in there last year called "the mexican" had us in stitches and stayed with us all , all day, sadly no longer with us but what we witnessed and how friendly it was that day will make us go back time and again ...

Agree with the Thatto Heath shout, just round the corner from me and a cracking facility. They've also started to run a shuttle bus to Langtree Park, £4 return with a free pint either before you go or when you get back. It's a book in advance job but come Friday evening, if there's empty seats and some FC fans with £4 in their pockets, I can't see Thatto Heath saying no.

As for the George, Landlord tells me this week he's got Black Sheep and Bombardier on cask and the Bavarian section has seven varieties of pint sized bottles, including Dunkelweisse and Altbier. I'm assuming that they are very good premium beers?
