Hi,
Hull FC fan recently started work in Liverpool, which station is best for the stadium, and how far away from the station is it?

Thanks in advance.

St Helens Central Station is the best one for you from Liverpool mate. Then its a 5-10 min walk from there.

You can either turn left out of station and walk up and over to the Glass museum behind B&M , turn left under the bridge then go over the saints bridge which brings you out at Tesco next to the ground.

Or out of the station turn left, left again over the bridge, past KFC/Matalan, over the roundabout and go past the retail park and Saints ground is on your right behind it. Either way is just as good.

Thanks, hope it's a good game, should be, far too close to call for me, you're hitting form at just the right time.

Agree should be a close match but I think we will just edge it with Hull having one eye on the Challenge cup final in 2 weeks time.

I don't think we're too worried about Wigan in honesty, Saints are the team to beat to cement top 4, we should have learnt from last season that the next game (whoever we are playing) is the most important!

Hard to believe but we are unbeaten at home in over 5 months! (8 wins, 1 draw since last defeat) and come into this game having won our last 4 matches. (Even more hard to believe we have only won 3 away games! 2 of which the last 2 games played?!) So will be a real 4 pointer on Friday, cant wait for it. Oh some more info for you below from the saints page on travel.

Nearest station: St Helens Central (0.7 miles)

St Helens Central rail station is only a ten minute walk to The Totally Wicked Stadium. Northern run frequent services from Liverpool, Wigan and Preston.

The Totally Wicked Stadium can be reached via the Steve Prescott Bridge, which is constructed over the linkway to the North of The Totally Wicked Stadium; the bridge can be reached by following Shaw Street and then Chalon Way East past the St Helens Chamber of Commerce.

Any suggestion where to go for a drink pre-game, I'll have my FC shirt on.

There is the Red V bar at the ground next to the ticket office that both sets of fans frequent on match days. Think it is open from 5pm on match days.

Or when you come out of the train station there is a pub right outside, Royal Alfred, but don't think it is populated with rugby fans.

A lot of fans go to the 'Glass Horse' but that is not on the way from the station you have to go past the ground (Tesco side) follow the link way, past Arnold Clark garage, and its on the round about on the link way. A lot of away fans go there as opposite it is the ford garage and the away fans coaches park up around the back of it.
