I went to Anfield yesterday. The stadium is fine but the outlying area isn’t. It’s pretty ugly if I’m honest and even on a sunny day it’s not somewhere I’d really like to be. It’s a thumbs down from me.

So Anfield it is and we play the Dragons.

And bank holiday weekend

Already booked an apartment for the overnight.
Liverpool is a great city to visit and for a night out - and a lot cheaper than Dublin!

NOt for me I’ll do London instead.

Liverpool is an utter dump, that said it does achieve the almost impossible of making Belle Vue and Agbrigg look habitable. Anfield stadium is fabulous, iconic, modern, beautiful, surrounding area is grim,

I've been twice and it was just ok, you've got to enjoy having please, please me, help etc from breakfast till night, if you like the Beatles it might be for some people but not for me. If it does turn out to be Liverpool we'll probably stay in Manchester and get the train in both days.

I had the same experience - it's almost as if nothing of note has happened there since the Beatles...

When Lenagan and his chums got control and installed their puppet prince Elstone, we were promised a brave new world.

We'll here it is bleeding Liverpool

Just another away game now. Nothing special but I'll be going across.
The London trip now regains it's place as the UK away day weekend of the season.

Booking up for a London weekend. Will possibly go to Anfield for the day or certainly our game but will most likely be heading back early. Much as my 12 year old loves rugby league he will not want to sit in Anfield for a weekend and beyond the fanzone can't see there being too much to do outside. Shame as we loved Newcastle for its location

Be very interested to see the impact of the marathon route on getting to the ground before I commit to driving over to Liverpool though.
