Get the train and there will be free buses from the side of St Georges Hall.
For the football they have the 917 which runs as they fill up. Obviously for LFC it's a bit easier because there's a start and finish time, I would guess they'll be running all day but probably not as frequently as with the football..
Similarly they line up on Walton Breck Road for the return, but that's again for full time, so they may just run a shuttle through the day, then line up after Saints finish, just guessing.
I know they're not for everyone, but it's not even three miles from the centre, so don't rule out getting a taxi, especially if there's a few of you
Get the Northern line train from Central to Kirkdale and walk it. Think it's the Ormskirk train
If you’re struggling for special buses the number 17 goes right past the stadium as well.
Would also recommend arriva click, which is a an app based taxi/bus service which is really cheap and you get £5 free for signing up, I also have a referral code which will give you another £5 so it would cost you nothing to get a few trips around.
It’s basvially like a bus crossed with an Uber, it will pick you up within two streets of where you are and drop you off within two streets of where you want to go. It’s about half the price of a taxi and they’re Mercedes minibuses so you can get a few on.
Scratch that, arriva click doesn’t currently cover the stadia, but it is handy for getting around Liverpool city centre
Number 10 bus. Get off at Shiel Road..I have walked it from there previously.
Got a black cab from the centre for the Test match, there were 4/5 of us I think and from memory it was a few quid a piece
Read a post yesterday from a rugby page that said there's only been 13,000 tickets sold for magic. How true it is I'm not sure but they've been selling them at 50% off for season tickets so you'd think they would have sold quite a few. Can't be right surely
I saw on one of the rugby sites yesterday they'd sold just over 13,000 tickets don't know if it was the same report
Cas took 4,500 to Newcastle last year as of yesterday they'd sold 950 tickets don't know if that will be the trend with the other clubs
I wasn’t aiming for an argument either. Just genuinely interested in your point. I’ve never felt there was much of a connection between our club and Liverpool and there’s many Saints fans from outside of St.Helens who would never have he need to go anywhere near Liverpool.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Last time I went to Anfield was early 70's and not been to Liverpool for years - probably Cains Brewery tour and pub-crawl late 90's ?.
As a St. Helens born fan now living in Ashton I feel no affinity to Liverpool but more to Manchester as a Utd supporter and having lived there for 3 years while at UMIST.

I go to Liverpool every couple of weeks and I see more people with Saints shirts than the Warrington and Wigan ones, in my opinion its become a great city over the last decade lots of stuff going on with great travel links. It was always a bit dodgy for certain areas in the 70's to 90's but there is a bit of a buzz about it these days, we occasionally tour the old pubs and some of those have the Sky rugby league showing quite regular.
The Fly in the Loaf pub on Hardman street was (not been in ages so still might be) good for RL games. If I'm not mistaken they had signed Saints and England/GB RL shirts on the walls.
