Any bike racks down there?

Inside the stadium wall there is.

they’ll need to be bike bunkers with no one allowed in in a north face

You laugh mate, but get an ale license and you’ll make a fortune. Those are so popular in Germany, Prague.

The supporters groups should get a petition going to get rid rid of the Mayor over this, then things will change…….

Ah well there was bound to be an issue somewhere with this project so it could have been worse.

Not sure if anyone at the club or council thought to do this survey about 3 years ago.

Be pretty easy for someone just to submit a FOI to the council to ask about communications with the club, Mersey Rail and other partners around transportation planning for the new stadium...

I am thinking about investing in a couple of tuk tuk's,* make an absolute killing!? I just hope it doesn't turn into a shiny new mausoleum!!


*I will be expecting financial compensation when someone eventually does.

Anybody want to go into business? All that's really needed is an empty warehouse.

Sail up the Mersey on a Viking Longship, jump off at BMD, then send Odin, Thor and Loki to sort out those scruffs at the RS pit.

They are a great idea. Super little business opportunity

Few scoops at some of the nice pubs Moorfields/Old Hall Street way then a relaxed ramble by the waterside.

Prefer that to being packed like a sardine with a load of dars anyway.

Just a shame there aren't any nice boozers on the way to break up the 30 min walk.

Its unbelievable that after 5 years of planning that it doesn't appear that to have been considered that this could be a problem.
Also the photo shoot by Sandhills alongside a load of barriers was an absolute joke .
I can't help feeling that had this been the RS it would have been so much different. It seems as we have a more localised support we are just left to make our own way there.The idea that we are able to walk 30 minutes to a parked car is just a total lack of awareness of the demographic of our fan base.

What you thinking near Old Hall Street, Rigbys? The Cross Keys? Fancy drink with amazing views at Gino’s Sky Bar?

I do get what you're saying and I'm not saying that some services shouldn't be introduced to give more options, but I do think it's straying into entitlement territory to expect like a door to door service from every part of the city. If you have to go into town or somewhere else first to make your way there then that's what you have to do isn't it, we can't really expect the club or the council to get you directly to the ground from wherever you live.

I do get that mate. But from a traffic and capacity POV, do you really want to funnel everyone who doesn't live on a trainline to town first? Basically if there were any train lines that went out east from the city centre I wouldn't even bring it up.

I’m impacted by this and while I agree to some extent @Lanolin, the issue is there is no direct public transport from these areas like there is to Goodison - even a bus. As @Furey1878 said, that is a huge amount of traffic to add to the additional high numbers of people that are heading to the city centre.

Can’t be that hard for Stagecoach to throw a few soccer specials. Not as if they don’t charge for them is it. A new bus route doesn’t have to run every day.
