Are we still talking about playing cricket at school?

[Vincent Vega]

Heading into town to watch it as I’m going to see Simple Minds at the Echo Arena tonight. Any recommendations for a good spot to watch it? Preferably somewhere that won’t be completely chocker, ideally fairly close to Hannover Street. I haven’t watched a match in town in years.

Can someone explain to me why there are no trains between Liverpool/Manchester and London right now ?

 

Sounds really stupid to play at Wembley.

It's Easter, families travel so railway repairs happen. FA knew about 18 months ago.

[DalyanPete]

To all travelling down today.

Stay safe and enjoy the win. Well jealous here.

McCooleys in Concert Square is okay.

[Red Shift]

Up at 3am to make tea & toast. Setup sky sport now App & chrome-cast to tv. Drape scarf over couch. Await kick-off.

The Cornmarket on Fenwick St is tucked away and never that rammed mate. Near the courts and ideal for walking over the echo afterwards

That sounds ideal mate, plenty of eateries round that part of town as well to grab something before heading to the Arena.

Sounds like a great day out.

Hope we’re rewarded with a place in the final and the chance to win another glittering prize.

A lot less fighty than Concert Square, too.

I get a feeling Code was kidding. You pissed yet?

Yeah I should have said an old mens type boozer was what I was looking for. Being 51 I’d probably be the oldest swinger in town if I watched in Concert Square.

Corn market’s perfect then. Decent size and a nice garden area and all. I think the only dickhead that’s ever been in there is me

Haha not really.

 

Ive watched a lot of football in that McCooleys the last few years. Not any of our games though obviously. 
 

But had a good view every time and the bar has not been too busy.

It gets rammed for our games. I watched one or two a few years back in there. @rubble-rouser will remember me getting pushed down some stairs by some angry girl after the stoke league cup semi final. She absolutely launched me, thankfully only down about 5 and I landed on my feet. All because I was chatting her up then went she went to the bog I told her mate she was fitter..... 

 

For the best if anyone over 30 avoids that whole square.

Yes, I can see it getting packed for our games.

To be fair this was an hour or so after the game. But yeah, it's bedlam usually. 

[Jimmy Hills Chin]

Can't watch this today as my lad is playing at The Cavern. If we get through I'm cutting his fingers off for the final.

[Jennings]

A semi-final against City. I am gonna find this game difficult to enjoy. If I am watching us on telly, it is very rare that I don't give the match my full attention. This game tho, I am gonna just kind of put it on in the background and not get too sucked in. It really has the potential to cast a shadow on my mood for the rest of the evening - and my daughter has come home for the long weekend.

 

Come on, you mighty reds!
