Topic: Where to watch the champs league final

[Claire.]

2 tickets booked in the Anfield Rd Lower Blk 127 for me and my missus.

Sleeping over at a good mates place a mile from the ground on Friday Saturday night (he’s not a footy fan)

I’ve been toying with how to watch this game.

After being at the 2005 final in person I wanted to get as “near as possible” to this one. The feeling of being surrounded by thousands of fellow reds is the only option.  The thought of being in a bar with the strong possibility of rival fans being in there taking the piss was a non-starter for this.  And then I had a nightmare thought that some rivals might even get into Anfield for the screening ... but the way they’ve done it with you having to be an LFC member should make sure it’s only Liverpool fans in Anfield on the night.

And all being well we’ll be waking up in Liverpool on the Sunday with an open top bus parade to look forward to!!!

I think all the blues will be tucked up in bed by 8, pretending it’s not happening.

Insane that we've almost sold out our ground for a screening. Not sure any other club in Europe could do that. Gonna be a cracking atmosphere.

[Living Legends]

Got my tickets yesterday 

Can anyone who went to the Roma screening comment on the views please?

I only saw a picture earlier in this thread and the screens didn't look too big, but perhaps it just appeared that way...

[bogrollsbike]

Got 2 tickets for upper anfield road end,hopefully the view should be decent enough.can't wait now.

We could definitely sell it out. The views of the screen just wouldn't be good enough from the upper main and upper KD stand. Hence why they've been left empty.

How funny would it be if one end of the ground was delayed to the other.

[Samio]

Oh yeah, that would be hilarious mate ...

The screens and feed is provided and sponsored by BT sport (all the advertising hordings showed BT adverts only). Means they can show the nice reaction shots from Anfield on the TV

I was at the Roma game and the views were great as well as sound.

The only major issue (and will be even worse with a full stadium) is that they are in no way prepared to serve drinks and food properly.

Getting a pint was painfully slow

Yeah main problems is that there was obviously a massive rise in demand than usual for beer cos you can take to your seat, also they are still pouring cans into plastic cups instead of all using the fast bottom filling draught beer that they have in some parts of the stadium. Oh and the two girls serving my line were really nice but slow as fuck!

Sounds great Bar the slow Bar 

Hopefully with a larger crowd they have learnt from the last screening and improve that part.

Praying this is the case.

Can you bring your own drink into the ground (stupid question?) and are the screenings in 4K?


(If your BT you show it in 4K, advertise that format to the people!!!)

Take yourself a hip flask

[craig_lfc1]

Is there any plans for any outdoor big screens? Anyone know what the Baltic market or the flute would be like?

[MerseysideBrum]

The Flute was rammed for the semi 2nd leg but you should be fine if you get there early. Baltic market is ticketed and sold out

[gazzalfc]

There are tickets on the door for the Baltic Market but 1st come 1st serve and if you dont get in then it's a big trek to get back into town

[ChrisOH]

Baltic Market is all ticketed now.

If we win, can't wait for the walk back down Jamaica Street into town. Was boss after the Roma second leg.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat    Actually buy drink elsewhere and deny our beloved club the opportunity to screw the last penny from your pocket?  What a dreadful thing to say!  Are you possessed by demons or something?  I am very shocked.

I will get an Exorcist, he will be wearing the mask of Christiano Ronaldo and covered in oil.

[LiverLuke]

Did they have the commentary on for the roma game at Anfield?

Eeeeeeeeew!!!  That's taking things a bit far.  Can he not have a less gruesome mask like that fella with nails all over his head in that film called Hellraiser (or something)?  The oil is acceptable.

[ScottScott]

Plans have now changed to the Pilgrim but have to be there early. Time to relive some of my uni days back in the Pilgrim, can't wait for it now, just want it to be here now!

[Living Legends]

Good question.

[SingFongFC]

Good question.

Surely they do, it will just be the regular BT feed won’t it?

[dudleyred]

Hopefully be that much noise it’ll get drowned out

Dreading sitting in the kop though - need to be a contortionist!

[LiverLuke]

I know a lot of people hate it, but if I'm not actually at the game I always like to hear the commentary haha.

He only has a boring flask.

More tickets on sale for Motel bar @ Eventbrite

[gazzalfc]

So here was my experience from the Roma game sitting in the kop

The kop was full apart from the blocks right at the back and the far edges (approx 1 block)

3 screens on the pitch facing into the kop. 1 at the middle of the goal, 1 to the right and 1 to the left

Picture quality was very very good. No idea if it was 4k but we're not talking a dodgy stream. You wont struggle seeing a screen no matter where you sit

It was BT TV and BT sound pumped through the stadium tanoy. You heard the commentary and fan noise (so you could join in). BT sponsored the event as all the electronic advertising boards were only showing BT adverts

BT had numerous camera guys in the kop walking round to capture reaction

Yes you can buy booze in there. Beer (Carlsberg , San miguel, Guiness), somersby cider and wine
Yes you can take it to your seat without fear of stewards and banning orders. Though you will get knobheads throwing their drinks when we score.
No you can't take your own in. Standard Anfield bag checks and pat downs in operation.
The food/drink outlets were staffed to the same levels as a standard match which meant they couldn't cope with the demand of everyone wanting a beer. Be prepared to queue.

Atmosphere was good (result helped)

Soccerbus will be running from Sandhills

[gray19lfc]

Wasn't a big fan of watching the Roma game at Anfield. They just weren't prepared for serving that much beer. Everything was just slow.

Got a ticket for Death row Diner with my old man. Good beer on tap and food during the day

Got tickets for me and four mates for Anfield and Death Row Diner. Undecided which one to go to?

[redbyrdz]

Thanks Gaz, answered a lot of questions!

[Mr.Savage]

anyone reckon the echo ones will be half decent? Not sure if everyone will have already sorted themselves and be turning up to a half empty arena.

[Roy Cropper]

I’m told you’ll find a few scousers around on Albert Road, Southsea. The Bold Forester or The Albert.

thanks

[gerrardlfc]

Just booked the echo don't want to be worrying on the day about where to watch it and worried about getting in. Hopefully be a nice day beers outside then go and watch the reds

[Marty 85]

Just booked a table for 17 at bar fourteen in Belfast. £30 gets you the table and 14 drinks of whatever. Never booked guestlist in my life but I don't usually go out for big games and I'll be fucked if i'm going to stare at the back of some blokes loaf all night.

Looking for a bit of advice please folks, getting the bus from Manchester airport to Liverpool One at 1750 next Saturday and due to arrive at 1845 but there's a stop off at edge lane drive at 1825, would I be better getting off there and if so will I be able to get a bus/taxi handy enough?
Not familiar with that area at all but doesn't look too far from anfield on the map.

Depends on the route the bus/coach takes.

Assuming your going to Anfield and the route is the M62...

You should be able to pick up a cab on Edge Lane - best spots would be at the top by Rathbone park - you're quite near to old Swan too, or if its further down by Tunnel Road - there you've got traffic coming through from Toxteth towards Kensington.

Factor in you have 20 mins extra from the final stop and you could always book a cab form your mobile before you get off..

I used to work on Edge Lane, but must admit didn't take much notice of cabs as I was usually in my car.
