This cost £8 and we were the first to park up and had no worries about the car whatsoever. I was on half term and it’s the League Cup so tickets were cheap and a game I can go to. explains more about how we use your data, and your rights. The pub had a good mix of Toffee’s and Lambs fans and had a very good friendly atmosphere. A Shaqiri second put Stoke in front at the break, but a Lukaku second and a Deulofeu goal put Everton in front mid-way through the second half, before an 80th minute equaliser from Joselu and a 90th minute penalty from Marko Arnautovic won a thriller for Stoke. We went round to the players entrance to try and get my book signed, and were able to catch Leighton Baines and Phil Jagielka on their way in. From Liverpool Lime Street By Bus Or Taxi, The main railway station in Liverpool is Lime Street which is over three miles from the ground and is really too far to walk (although it is mostly downhill on the way back to the station), so either head for Kirkdale station or jump in a taxi (about £8). and he was great. We found the beer to be reasonably priced throughout the city. Half a hour wait for the quick train to Milton Keynes and an hour drive home. The roar was frightening and if they did that before every game I'm sure the team would respond and away teams would worry. Comment on getting away from the ground after the game: Getting away was a nightmare. Having being to Goodison Park before 3 times and having sat in the away end each time, I decided to go for a seat in the top balcony of the Main Stand to get a different view of the stadium.

The last one I went to in 2001 was on an Easter Monday and was a 5:30pm kick off which wasn't the best idea to have a late kick off with most people drinking all day on a bank holiday. The stewards were excellent; very helpful and chatty at half time which you don't always get. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, with both sets of fans mixing freely before the game. It was Saints' first away game of the season, and the first time I had visited Goodison Park, so I was excited. Overall, Liverpool is a good city, friendly people (cab drivers, bar staff etc), No issues with Everton fans who were pretty dejected.
