Will we ever be at home again on Boxing Day when trains go off early ? 
Absolutely fine for me getting the Southport train. I was on a train 10 minutes after arriving. Home at the same sort of time I would have been from Goodison when I took the car. Loads of staff and well organised. Itāll be interesting to see if they can do the same again on Wednesday as itās another sellout and will be a night time game. To be fair though Iām east stand which is probably the quickest one to get out of and I walked briskly to the station but I did not leave before the final whistle and was upper tier so had the stairs to deal with. It could turn out ok IF they keep putting the extra services on and use the 8 car trains.

Nice one, I was genuinely interested to see if the station was going to be sucked into the Mersey like Davek suggested if too many blues were on it.
At the 8th attempt Merseyfail have finally returned to their old ways and broken their promises

I came through Sandhills at 1pm with no problems.

Dunno what happened today but the Central/Hunts Cross bound trains after the game today were much, much worse than I've seen. Not previously had more than 5 mins queuing before, but had a good half hour today on the way home
First time I used Sandhills today, as I usually take the walk from Moorfields, as I like to bounce along the bars along the way to the game.
Gotta say it was sound. Though, I did arrive just after 12, so was pretty quiet.
After the game, I went to ten street socials, for a couple so I wasnt in all the mad rush to get home. Decent bar by the way.
But had a good experience on my way to the game

seems a horrendous journey getting home
i feel sorry for them but i think the generation of fans agrd 60+ who are used to driving in and out and only adding around an hour or so to their matchday outside of the game will be phased out, and anyone taking kids will likely have to make it more of a one off too
the current transport situation very much suits those who are active enough to walk good distances, and who are wanting to stick around/stay out on the ale afterwards
could make for a better atmosphere moving forwards but not fair either on those who just want to get in and out and have been going for decades

It's usually not that bad, however Aintree had a meet on that was aimed at students; they must have emptied out roughly the same time as the game.
It meant the trains getting to Sandhills, heading towards Hunts Cross or Central, were already close to capacity if not already full.

Modern stadia should be built with public transport hubs next to them or shouldn't be built. The Etihad has a tram stop next to it. They should have sorted it out before they opened the stadium.
