I’m the same,would have 100% been there on Saturday with a good crowd of mates (most with only a small intrest in rugby and more intrest in the day out), now I’m not so sure I will go and if I do it will be with reduced numbers.

I can say with some degree of certainty this is unlikely to be caused by Merseyside Police. This year, they coped with the Grand National at Aintree, LFC v Bournemouth, Tall ships event on the Mersey and UFC at the Echo arena on the same day on a Bank Holiday weekend in August. I’m sure a low level rugby game on the same day as Everton play wouldn’t break them.

How is that the fault of the RFL?



The RFL unfortunately do not have a crystal ball and couldn’t look into the future to see whether Everton/Liverpool, who I may add take priority over this as they should, would move their games for Sky.



Again, how is this the RFL’s fault?

Aintree is not less than a mile from Goodison, Anfield is. Its not just a question of policing it would mean approx. 40k more on top of a full house at Goodison all on the same road. UFC, Tall Ships are not getting the attendances that football and RL will get. There is a potential of 81k people wanting the same parking given the Everton capacity and the last RL game at Anfield.

The game v Huddersfield has been switched to a Thursday night. Complete and utter shambles.
