Anfield : Mon May 27, 2019 9:10 am
We liked it. A lot. It can be pretty pricey for a family of five, and we could have gone abroad all inclusive on what we spent in Newcastle last year but in Liverpool accommodation was good and cheap, food and drink was reasonable and transport good. It was then just a short, simple, trip home. For those in the car, parking at Stanley park a minute away from the stadium.
I thought the stewards were brilliant, really friendly and accommodating. The stadium is stunning externally. And the atmosphere inside was good.
I think a lot of those complaining, who liked Newcastle, were interested in the beer. If you want a weekend on the p*ss then you can do that any time. It SHOULD be about the rugby and that was spot on this weekend. It was actually quite nice to not have to negotiate the kids around so many drunken supporters, and I felt like more people actually stayed in the stadium to watch rather than leave after their game. The only issue was Cas fans yet again letting their team down letting off smoke bombs. If any of you idiots are on here- you are letting your club down. Let’s hope Cas don’t suffer as a result.
If I had any criticism it’s that the fan park was a bit sparse, but no worse than Newcastle. etihad has been head and shoulders above the rest in that respect.
I’d be more than happy to go back to Anfield, from a family point of view it suited us better than Newcastle.
