Been recommended this pub - better not all arrive at the same time as it sounds small and cosy....

The Globe - Cases Street'The Globe is a particularly expansive name for a pub which wouldn't be big enough to swing a bag of pork scratching in,' enthuses one regular about this Liverpool favourite. January 18 2014 marks a special anniversary too – it will be 40 years since the Merseyside branch of Camra was launched in its back room - a plaque on the wall marks the occasion.

Re: Everton away Saturday 15th March 2014. KO 3 pm.
The Gen has been going some research and has got the following info from a football pub wesbite:
About a 15 minute walk away from the visiting supporters entrance, is the Thomas Frost pub on Walton Road. This Wetherspoon outlet, is a fair sized pub, that had a good mixture of home and away supporters, when I last visited. Rob Elmour adds; 'We found the Thomas Frost on Walton Road packed out, so we tried the Bradleys Wine Bar, which is just further down and across the road. It was very good. not a wine bar at all but a proper family run local with a good selection of beers including some real ales. Good mix of fans all very friendly.' More information can be found on the Bradleys Wine Bar website. Peter Bennett suggests the following; 'Pubs on Walton Lane or The Spellow outside Goodison are recommended.'
Otherwise you can walk along Priory Road (where the away coaches drop off and park) or across Stanley Park, going away from Goodison over towards Anfield. The Arkles pub, the usual haunt of away fans visiting Anfield is also popular with away fans going to Goodison. It is about a 10-15 minute walk. At the end of Priory Road, turn right into Arkles Lane and the pub is up on the left. It also shows Sky Sports.
We are on the train from Reading/Oxford to Liverpool via Brum, getting in about 11.45. Our plan is to grab a taxi from the station to one of these and then take it from there. Probably aim for the Thomas Frost and then move on - not keen on Weatherspoons pubs but they do real ale for people who like that and I can't imagine too many of the pubs near the ground are going to be very salubrious!
Those travelling from London - what do you think? Fancy joining us in the TF and taking it from there?
My mobile number is 07834 943 910 - may be a good idea if one of you saved it in your phone so we can talk/text on the day if necessary to arrange.
