Anfield was brilliant this weekend for the final day of the Women’s Super League season.

We spent the day speaking directly with Liverpool FC fans, quizzing them on niche matchday travel facts and gathering their honest thoughts on the journey to the stadium. From the logistical hurdles to the clear opportunities for improvement, the supporters are the true experts on how travel actually works.

We will be taking all of these vital insights and feeding them back directly to the club, as well as to the relevant transport authorities and stakeholders.

If we want to create systemic change and make sustainable travel easier, we have to start by listening to the people making the trip every single week. By working together to find better, more practical solutions, we can ensure that we continue to protect where we play.

A massive thank you to everyone who took the time to stop, chat with us, and pose in our train ticket frame.
