Blind side johnny Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Repeating my theme from a previous thread a group of us will be going to the Anfield test by car from West Yorkshire and scrutinisng hundreds of websites (well, maybe a couple) indicates that parking and travelling to the ground is quite difficult. Is there a simple way - park & ride/station parking/cheap car parks? Advice gratefully received. Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluded pom? Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 When we attended the 4N final we were waiting for what seemed an eternity for a bus from the station not far from Albert Dock. Quite a few people in the queue started to drift away and we ended up getting an Uber taxi to Anfield. There didn’t appear to be a designated bus for the match but more just a normal service bus from what I could gather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalMrC Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Every time I've been to Anfield we've parked in or near the city centre then got a bus or taxi. Anfield is in a residential area so parking is difficult to be honest. There are unofficial car parks near the ground so depends if you want to risk one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 The soccerbus is a great system which ran for the last RL game. Park near Sandhills train station then buses take you to around 300 yards ftom the ground. Loads of free street parking near Sandhills. About £1.50 each way and you can get a real flier when you get back into your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaguefan13 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I parked at Everton’s ground for the 4 nations final. Think it was £5 and just a 10 minute walk through Stanley park to Anfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhopper Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 The bus service from the city centre was a bit hit and miss for the 4 nations. It ran from across the road from the station, opposite the entrance to the bus station On the way out one of the stewards expressed surprise at the numbers as it was way above those for an LFC home game. This should not be a surprise as the majority of the crowd for the 4n was from outside the city Afterwards there were about ten or twelve double deckers waiting and we got on the last but one but even at say 10 x 80 that was nowhere enough and anyone behind us would have had to wait for the buses to get to the city and back It is still probably the best way unless you are either very early or willing to walk 25 mins or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headtackle Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 There is a big official car park right next to the ground - dont know how much they will want for that and can be difficult getting out. There are a few patches of land used for matchday parking which are generally ok but a lot of changed since I last went there due to the stadium development. Otherwise it is mainly residents parking close to the ground so prepare for a walk or a taxi As said above on match days there is a shuttle bus from Sandhills station but not sure if that will be running. There has not been much publicity locally that I have seen. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind side johnny Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Thanks for the advice (the helpful stuff, that is). I am pursuing Merseyrail at present to get clarification on services, as recommended on the Anfield web site.

Hopping Mad Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 You can walk from Kirkdale station (Merseyrail Zone C1, street parking only). https://www.merseyrail.org/plan-your-journey/stations/kirkdale.aspx Directions (courtesy of Football Grounds Guide): On exiting the station turn right and then cross the railway bridge. You will see a pub opposite, the Melrose Abbey. Walk up Westminster Road, alongside the pub and continue along it, passing the Elm Tree pub. Follow the road around a right hand bend and then turn left into Bradwell Street. At the end of Bradwell Street you will come to the busy County Road (A59). Cross over this road at the traffic lights then go down the road to the left of the Aldi superstore. At the end of this road you will reach the A580, Walton Lane. You should be able to see Goodison Park over on your left and Stanley Park in front. Cross Walton Lane and either enter Stanley Park following the footpath through the park (keeping to the right), which will exit into Anfield Road and the away end. Or bear right down Walton Lane and then turn left down the road at the end of Stanley Park for the ground. If you're driving into Liverpool off the M62, and going to Anfield via the A5058 (Ring Road North), be aware residents only parking starts when you turn left, for Anfield, off the ring road onto Utting Avenue. It's about a mile walk to the ground if you park somewhere around the A5058/Utting Avenue junction. https://www.footballgroundguide.com/leagues/england/premier-league/anfield-liverpool.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Rhino Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Gillmoss on the East Lancs Road is dead easy to find and a short bus ride to Anfield.

themainbrace Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There's a large car park in Stanley Park but it's £10. Across Priory Road from Stanley Park there's a Car park that Liverpool have recently acquired that should be open - not sure how much they charge there but it's probably £10 again. Right next to this is a petrol station that usually let's people park there on match days, they charge £9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookiepuss Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Make a day of it. Go into the city first. Visit the British Music Experience at the Cunard Building. Walk five minutes back to Moorfields station. Catch the train to Sandhills then the Soccerbus service to the ground. Repeat without the BME bit to come home.
