Anyone know where the safest/best place is to park on a match day?...
If you are prepared to lash out £10 to park in a carpark, or £3 to a kid to "mind your car" then all will be well. (And don't tell the kid you'll pay him after the match because "you have no change") They aren't thick, they have to live on their wits in L4.
Until after the game, when the closer you have parked to the stadium, the longer you will be stuck in a traffic jam trying to escape.
Also, watch out for parking on yellows or resident parking bays as wardens work on match nights enforcing the parking exclusion zone.
So, what to do?
Try this for an idea: Park at Sandhills Railway Station, postcode is L5 9XN.
There you will find unlimited, free parking. The yellow lines there finish at 18,00h
You will also find here the bus-stop outside the station entrance for the "SoccerBus" which will take you to Anfield Stadium in 10 minutes for £1.50 return.
After the game, the buses return you to the station, avoiding the traffic, and run up to 45 mins after the match ends. The return trip will also take 10mins.
You will then be perfectly placed parking-wise to exit Liverpool along the Dock Road towards Aigburth and Runcorn Bridge then M56 to join up with M6.
Believe me, it's well worth it to avoid the dramas and expense of parking close to the ground.
