General Info - Everton (a)

[ClaretTony]

For any info ahead of game at Everton other than tickets and coach travel.

Links for these threads along with ticket info and Accy Clarets will be in the sticky post.

Avoid The Brick Pub!

The Wetherspoons nearby is ok but we did get threatened with being shot a couple of seasons ago when one of our group ‘pushed’ infront of some Everton fans at the bar!

Pubs in the centre are usually fine although Uber prices do go up quite sharply before and after the game.

[1989_claret]

We always go in the Taxi Club. Pay 50p on the way in and never any issues.

That will just be their famous 'Scouse sense of humour' I would guess,...

[dougcollins]

Kind of dependant on where you get to sit at Goodison, but I've got two differing opinions:

a) It's a great example of a traditional old football ground

b) Its a sh!thole

[bfcbri]

It looks as though Northern Rail and Transpennine are on strike on April 6th so people planning to go by train may need to find alternate arrangements

[Quickenthetempo]

Where does it say that?

Tickets are still on sale on the day

[Quickenthetempo]

Bloody typical when we could get there for a tenner

[ClaretInLeeds]

Easy enough to park up at Walton Park and walk in.

[lakedistrictclaret]

I'm driving to Ormskirk and getting a Merseyrail train to Kirkdale

[Peter Loo]

Travel to Goodison? not likely I'm hopeing it's going to be on telly.

[Quickenthetempo]

Has anyone found out anymore about the train situation?
Still says they are running on the app.

Is anyone chancing it?

[Leisure]

Won't be.

[Flixtonclaret1]

Trains running from Warrington Bank Quay …. not Northern Fail obviously….

[Leisure]

Bump.

[ClaretTony]

Had to change plans for this one with no trains running

[claret wizard]

Still selling train tickets, and in recent months a lot of these strikes have been cancelled last minute with the majority of people still feeling the pain but the rail staff still get paid.

[South West Claret.]

Was thinking of going to this game glad we decided not to now with the possible problems happening.

[claretonthecoast1882]

We are currently looking at getting a lift to Preston, then Avanti train to Warrington Bank, then East Midlands train from Warrington Central to Liverpool Parkway

[Quickenthetempo]

I'm looking at megabus as a back up. Not much difference time wise if you match up with the x43.

Manchester works out fine, I did look from Preston. Despite their advert saying a 40 minute journey. No dates were available when I looked.
So I don't think they operate that route anymore.

Just a warning for anyone using merseyrail for this game.
You will be fined and classed as having no ticket, if you haven't got a paper ticket printed before travel.

It catches plenty out.

There are 6 of us going so we have now settled on train Preston to Warrington £16 each return then a 6 seat uber Warrington to Liverpool which is working out at roughly £13 each returm

[Flixtonclaret1]

EMR running from Manchester Piccadilly to Liverpool Lime street only stopping at Manchester Ox Road for those who can get over to Manchester

Exactly what we're doing now after the X43.

Going to be a long day.

[Flixtonclaret1]

3 points and it can be as long as it wants .

[Quickenthetempo]

Going to be a long day.

The other option is the mega bus at 3 quid each way.

Has anyone been on the EMR service before? Is it a decent sized train.
I'm a bit worried about paying up front and not getting on it.

I reckon it's going to be rammed.

Good thinking about the bus

If you buy a Merseyrail day saver you can present your e ticket on your phone. I’ve bought mine for next Saturday @ £5.95.

What route are you using that for?

[Jamesy]

What route are you using that for?

It’s all over the Merseyrail network. I live in Shrewsbury so it’s a fairly straightforward journey for me. Shrewsbury to Chester on the train TFW. Then Chester to Kirkdale on Merseyrail with one change at Moorfields.

[bfcbri]

Can you buy the Merseyrail day ticket on the day or is it something you have to buy in advance?

UTC

You can buy them on the day. All Merseyrail stations have ticket machines. I just downloaded app and bought a day ticket. It’s good value for me as I am boarding at Chester. Possibly cheaper to get a paper ticket return on the day if travelling from Liverpool Central.

[1914tyrone]

Any suggestions please

[morpheus2]

Probably 5 at the back - Patterson, Keane, Tarks ,Young and Mykolenko. Big long diagonal balls, the kind of stuff we used to endure.

[Claret Till I Die]

L4 9XP Walton Hall Park. About 15/20mins walk but straight away after

[Somethingfishy]

Walton Hall Park Soccer Centre. L4 9XP.
10 minutes walk...think its a fiver. Easy to get away after. Parked there for the Carabao Cup game. No issues.

[JR1882]

Yeah Walton again from me, 5 mins walk to the taxi club for a few pints (don’t forget your 50p!) then another 10 mins walk to the ground.

[1989_claret]

Same plans as us. Park there then to the taxi club.

[GetIntoEm]

i parked at Alsop high school last time, think that was a tenner, about a 15min walk. planned to park there again, but might try the recommendation above

[NL Claret]

Only time I’ve been in a car , we used the car park behind Anfield, wasn’t cheap and about 10 minutes walk to Goodison.

What you omitted to add though was that your car was on bricks when you returned.

Old lad walking at his pace, Somethingfishy walking at a youngsters pace by the looks of it....

That includes my youngest being searched by the police after a sniffer dog sat down by him after we'd walked through a cloud of smoke. Me being the great father that I am told the copper that he'd drugs up his bum....

[Spindles]

I've parked at orrell park train station and then gone in on the train with a train and bus ticket to take you directly to the ground. Busy on the way back but straightforward.

[Thejkr]

If you get there early enough can park on the road near Walton Hall Park for free. Done it a few times and facing right way to get out. There is an upstairs at Taxi club as well with loads of seats. Only found out after 3rd visit!!

More trauma for the poor young lad

[BradTee93]

Don't park next to the stadium.

I did for the cup game earlier this season, it was £20 and they cram you in so even if you wanted to leave early to beat traffic, your stuck on there for a good hour or so.

[bfcbri]

Not sure if this had been mentioned elsewhere but I got my ticket email yesterday but today I got another email with a link to download it. Has anyone else got this and what do you do?
Cheers

[Awayfromburnley]

I've had a second email today with another link to tickets, had one the other day too!
