Can't see that it has been mentioned elsewhere but apparently no virgin trains in or out of Euston on the 25th August!

Somebody did post this on the "tickets on sale Tuesday" thread, but its worth a thread on its own so people are aware.
Even if the trains were running would it be possible to get back after a 5.30pm kick off?

save yourself money and watch it on BT Sport.
Just checked simple answer is no. Last one back from Liverpool to Brighton is 19.04. Last one to get back to Hastings on the same day is 18.34. Game will finish 19.20. No one gives a toss about traveling fans as we well know.

Why pay for BT Sport. Just read about it in a free newspaper.
Guess all those desperate for tickets last time that didn't get them will be able to go this season instead. I can recommend a cheap serviced apartment with hubcap-protecting secured parking

Or why bother at all just wait until someone asks you who you "support" and you say Brighton they will reply " oh you lost/won at liverpool. Not a bad result etc"

I anticipated this a couple of weeks ago. The CL teams Saturday home games will very often be on Saturday evenings on BT.
So we booked a hotel and we’re driving. The Sunday rail service is shocking taking 6+ hours, with several train changes.

Under normal circumstances it would. You can get the 9.34 which gets to Euston at 10.55, plenty of time to get to Victoria for train to Brighton.

This fixture has proved to be a real pain the arse. First of all I can’t get any notification of advance fare offers because of the flustercuck of the new timetable from May. Secondly, no Virgin Trains out of Euston for the whole of that weekend. Thirdly, Crosscountry Trains are knackered because of engineering work between Birmingham and Coventry, Fourthly, because the kick off time is now 5.30 I won’t be able to use the Flybe service from Manchester to Southampton.
All in all I think someone in Premier League Ivory Towers hates us.

Is Marylebone to Birmingham and then on to Liverpool an option?

Looking like Southampton might be first away game, will see where I sit in the loyalty point scheme before I decide
