Topic: Where to watch the champs league final

[Andy2508]

Just arrived in the city (Liverpool, not Paris unfortunately!), now to enjoy the day and watch the red men lift ol’ big ears tonight 

[kev_goss]

Ok, I don't know anything about parking, but there must be somewhere closer to Aintree than South Parkway!

If you can get to Bootle strand, there's a fuckoff big carpark across the road, the train 1/2 stops to sandhills then the Southport train used to come 5 mins after you got off to Aintree.


Travelling up from Derbyshire and staying near penny lane, anyone know any pubs there to watch it?

You need the Ormskirk train for Aintree, not the Southport train.

Aye. I'll be at Nellies, but I've also been in Fogherty's further up Smithdown, they'll be showing it too I imagine.

Lark Lane appears to be ticket only, so probably best avoiding. I'd steer clear of the Brookhouse too, only because it's so big. Bigger the pub, the more people inside, the harder it will be to fight your way to the bar and the longer you wait to get served.

The Willow Bank by Asda on Smithdown usually show the game, as does Kelly's. Plenty of good options that keep you out of the city centre.

Concert Square is bouncing already.

[Qston]

Anyone know if LFCTV going to have any free access today or tomorrow?

Oof mate, that's tough. Back in 2019 I got to the pub for 5pm and got the last seat by virtue of my mate and her mum saving it for me. This year I'm aiming for 4pm. Fingers crossed you can get a seat and rest your legs after all that travelling!

[Jack_Bauer]

Just the audio commentary that they do for every game. They'll likely have the replay up after the game though cup finals tend to be delayed.

[palimpsest]

I found a couple of pubs advertising the game one in Brookline,one in Cambridge so that's a plus.Now can i get my shit together!!

Phoenix Landing is the place to be. And if you can’t get in, they have spill over bars.

Seat don't bother me mate as long as I can watch it. 2019 I was back in Bootle to watch it so was in the pub by 12, Admittedly I didn't start drinking until 6ish so I'd remember the game. Bit of a lightweight so 4 pints I'm anyones.

Yeah,i watched the 2005 final there and it was packed out then,so no chance now with their members stuff,it's to small  and a wee bit  hipstery.My go to pub in Central sq got a perma covid closed not found a cool place since!Irish pubs are dead in Boston.

Cheers mate. Just wish there was somewhere I can get my fix of watching the build up and scenes over there

[Red Beret]

Got to Nellies for 3.45. It's empty. Got a Madri and a coke. Will just alternate between drinks and potter about on my phone to kill time and avoid getting smashed.

[ToneLa]

I'm waiting for my train

Expecting to take some glorious shots of an empty Liverpool

And hear thunder from all directions

I’m watching while working at a wedding in the middle of Ireland. A real mix of man Utd Madrid and Liverpool fans it would appear.

[ToneLa]

Hello anyone new to the area!

Even the graffiti is sound!

[Bennyo]

Anyone else having a fucking mare with BT Sport? Sorry to have to come on here to ask. Not out. Just on the telly.

[ToneLa]

[Romford_Red]

So, for everyone wondering, I spent my evening surviving a Martian Invasion in London (The War of the Worlds Experience).

Highly recommend it.

Good to know! Are you going to give the wife a favour back, or do you think our result makes it even?

I've seen that on social media. How long does it last?

I don't work that way
Genuinely brilliant and a lot of thought went into it. I'm going to take her to see Upstart Crow later in the year as it's something she loves.

Not sure exactly. You have to leave phones and stuff behind. I'd say it was a couple of hours and you can arrange to have a meal pretty much waiting for you when you finish.
I've seen the live version of WotW and though both are good, if I had to have done just one, it would have been the Experience thing.
