How It Works

What This Plan Assumes

It is an estimate, not a timetable. Check your kick-off and the services on the day.

The rules behind the plan

Reach the pub area three hours before kick-off, because the pubs near the ground fill two to three hours before. Leave the pub an hour before kick-off, or 75 minutes for a first visit or with children. Pubs are assumed to open at about 11am, so for early kick-offs the plan shortens your pub time, or switches to the sights if there is no time for a drink. Final whistle is about 1 hour 55 minutes after kick-off. Travel time to the pub area is 40 minutes from the city centre or Lime Street and up to 60 from the airport by taxi. Soccerbus and 917 times are from Stagecoach’s 2026/27 matchday page. Other bus times are from the club’s published matchday transport information.
