But it was certainly a test for the infrastructure, our match, a half marathon in the morning with loads of people in the city centre and the British gymnastics at the arena so busy busy car parks

The shuttle bus from Liverpool one took an age because of the half marathon traffic etc. lots of people getting twitchy to get off and walk. Mostly because everyone wanted to explore what was “inside the wall “
Got to ground just before kick off and in the upper North and everything from a ground perspective was great, plenty of space , toilets etc and when you walk up the steps to see the pitch it’s breathtaking.
The shuttle bus back was miles better.
The slow journey there is probably a win win for the club as it will make me get there much earlier and spend more at the stadium plaza Previous Message
You don’t appreciate the size until you’re inside. Steepness of South stand is actually scary - my missus had to move to the front.
Concourses were big with plenty of space and toilets.
My other take away was how dreadful our youngsters looked. Some looked like they’d never played the game. Bolton were a lot more comfortable on the ball.
