 Anyone who has tried to use the new bike parking facilities, could you post your experience here..have been thinking of parking somewhere near the m62 and biking the last few miles.
It could save an hour off my journey home if it's viable ie is your bike still there when you show up at the end of the match  :P
Could also be a solution for people who have to leave early.

I stayed in row 70 of 306 until the final whistle, went to the loos before leaving, and got home to fucking Anglesey by midnight. Where the fuck in Liverpool do you live if it's taking you that long to get home? ;D

I could walk to Aigburth from Anfield in that time!

Seriously, people. Park a bit closer to town. Walk for 20 minutes at the end of the game and save yourselves the hassle of Anfield traffic. It really is a lot quicker in the end. :wave
Brilliant this!  ;D


Think they would have left to get home early if it had been extra time last night?  ::)

I believe some people went at half time when we played Milan, daft sods.

What I really can't understand is when people leave and the result is still in doubt, especially cup games, it really does beg the question why bother.

this is spot on for me.

I'll hold my hands up i left on 89 mins yesterday.

That doesn't make me less of a fan. And yes i wanted to save myself an hour of sitting in traffic as had to be up early for work today. I stayed to the end on Saturday does that make me better?! does it fuck

If the ground had been bouncing and people had left on 89 no one would be arsed. it was a combination of events yesterday that's got to everyone.

the issues that need addressing, leaving on 89 minutes is way down the list

edit - turning up 15 minutes into the game was a biggie yesterday too. never seen so many late arrivals!!

i were one of the fan arriving 15 min late the traffic on m6 and m62 is terrible b ut i certinly did stay till end and last out of the main stand back to the car

I wouldn't do it, but if there was ever a time to do it, it was last night I guess. It was ridiculously cold, the game was dead, and public transport is a nightmare around Anfield (and Merseyside) at night time. I wouldn't dream of leaving early, but meh I don't resent people for doing it last night, I wanted to get in the warm as soon as possible too

On the odd occasion I drive to the match I park near the 5 aside pitches.  Always take the Dock Road back into town - no hassle at all.

If I am ever in a rush to get home I will walk down and stand by the exits but I will never leave the stadium until iv heard the final whistle.

It only takes a second to score a goal. Love it when we score in added time and seeing people rush back in like they can see it again

Leaving before the end looks crap, but the game was won. It is annoying, but I'd worry more that only a small number of us seemed arsed about making some noise and supporting the team for the 90 minutes before that. Given how Klopp has repeatedly said he believes that the atmosphere and the noise we make genuinely makes a difference, it is fucking maddening to have so many people just not remotely bothered about making some noise / singing some songs.
This. A thousand times this. I really wonder why so many bother paying good money to go sit, look utterly bored and not even slightly try to support the team. There was a guy after Origi's goal v Sunderland who gave a half arsed clap whilst looking as if he was in the queue for the checkout at Asdas! I nearly lost my voice after that one went it!

People here keep on going that the locals are better than the 'supporters that we have around the world'. FYI we in Asia wake up at 3 am on weekdays to watch the mighty reds. We do have to work in the morning as well but we sacrifice our sleep. If I was in Anfield, I will stay till the end no doubt about that. That is what happened when Liverpool came to Singapore a few years back.

Amazingly I have seen people at this site saying that they left early so that they can reach home one hour earlier. Absolutely shocking and I don't understand it at all.

Before I am shot down, I am not a superfan at all. Just a normal OOT from Asia.

If we're playing i'm watching. Have traveled to Asia- Australia and watched at all hours.

I come over virtually every season. Never left early. But then i'm on holiday when there.

I remember once I had a bit of the flu and was going up to Kirkby to watch the U19's play. Took Merseyside rail, got a cab to the Academy, and the guard informed me the match was postponed until the next day. The cabbie was leaving about 20 yards down the road but he saw me waving and came back. Took me back to the station. As it was we had a match the next day so missed watching the kids.

The only time I ever thought about leaving early was two seasons ago when we played Stoke City and got hammered 6-1 the last match of the season when the lads had their bags packed to go to Dubai or wherever with Gerrard. But I hung around the pub with some of the gang and just used gallows humor the second half we were so poor. The players didn't show much commitment and I came close to the same..

Nothing to do with superfan, just being a supporter in my own way.

My own personal view on it, as someone who would never dream of leaving early (even if we had clearly lost the game going into the latter stages) is I look forward to going to the game all week. And I want to savour every minute of it.

I have to travel 90 mins-2 hours to get home, and frankly couldn't care less about getting back half an hour earlier (at best) by leaving with 5 to go. What difference does it make? And my mate who I attend with is of exactly the same mindset as me, and he has more on his plate (with different work shifts and family etc) than I do.

I can understand more people doing it on nights like Tuesday (or midweek games in general), but I will NEVER get my head around why certain fans were heading for the exits early on Saturday at the Sunderland game. We were only 1-0 up at the time, game still in the balance and the team needs the support!

What difference does it make if you're getting home at say half 6 instead of 6 (for example) on a Saturday teatime FFS??  :no

If you can buy a ticket you can do what you want as long as it is legal and respectful.

Leaving early is hardly respectful though is it? And Isn't 'I've paid for my ticket so I'll do what I want and fuck the rest' the attitude of a customer not a supporter?

Surely taking longer to get out of the stadium and get home is one of the aspects of supporting a massive club at a massive stadium?

I've got a ST at Leicester, takes about five minutes to get out and then maybe half hour to get home (I live about eighteen miles from the stadium). I'd imagine at smaller clubs at smaller grounds its quicker, and at United or Barca/Real its even worse. Tough shit I guess. Surely you'd just try and find a way to get home a bit quicker, find somewhere a bit nearer to park?

I really don't think its anything to do with being a superfan, or 'I go the game more than you' or whatever. But surely people can see its more powerful as a club if the ground is completely full for the whole game?

I've only ever left early once and that was when I got squashed against a barrier on the Kop as we scored and puked chicken soup everywhere. It was Ipswich, we drew 1-1 and I missed Phil Neal missing a pen (Mick Mills threw a sod at him as he ran up), other than that there is no reason I'd leave early.

The missus is a Manc and when her sister had her first baby, they had no choice but to start leaving early so their Ma (who had the baby) could go out on the piss, so she's missed loads of last minute goals. Its only 5 minutes drive to the ground from ours, but it takes over an hour after a game.

This is what happens when supporters have been turned into customers. I notice one thing more and more too when we score a goal. Instead of people jumping up and down, most of them just stand up like in a theater and clap their hands like the royal family would do when being entertained. Less and less working class people are attending games as a result of the high ticket prices.

Dortmund fans in the yellow wall feel that they're a part of the club and stay for a while after the final whistle (and sing loudly). The players meanwhile watch the wall with pure admiration. With The Kop it wouldn't happen unless the supporters would be treated as such, not costumers. Klopp must soon (if he hasn't already) realize the roots of why our atmosphere is dreadful.

I simply wonder what FSG would do if Klopp came to them and explained what would be needed in order to get the atmosphere going. If he, for example, would tell them that ticket prices would need to be lowered, more meetings ought to be scheduled between club and supporters and more appreciation for them in general, what would they say? I doubt they would do anything about it, which is the sad part.

It's just ridiculous having a manager like him while at the same time, as a club, not doing more in order to implement Klopp's vision of supporters playing a huge part in the teams' progress and being united as one.

Stadium design plays a big role. More exits, and you're out quicker.


Don't get why people leave early 'to get home quicker'. I'm sorry, but that just sounds like you never really wanted to be there in the first place.

The 90 minutes of football is only part of the match experience anyway. Should be in the ground singing before the game,  clap the lads off afterwards and keep their heads held high,  give a thanks to Jurgen and the staff and then head out into Liverpool.

If the term "support" means..


Go and watch, say nothing all game, then leave 10 minutes before the end.

I would say there are plenty of fans doing a great job.

The missus is a Manc and when her sister had her first baby, they had no choice but to start leaving early so their Ma (who had the baby) could go out on the piss, so she's missed loads of last minute goals. Its only 5 minutes drive to the ground from ours, but it takes over an hour after a game.

Really struggling to get my head around this Manc family tree. So did the sister or the mum have the baby? Or is it some sort of inbred Manc thing and they're the same person? Cant figure out what's going on here.

No offence intended towards your good lady wife of course  :wave

I remember hearing a fan of Galatasary talking about the Atmosphere created in their stadium a few years back - he said every fan should be exhausted and ache like the players after a game, and if they've put the right amount of effort into supporting the team, it should take them a few days to recover.

Don't get why people leave early 'to get home quicker'. I'm sorry, but that just sounds like you never really wanted to be there in the first place.

Struggling with this. People don't want to sit in traffic.
