Directions

Follow the M62 until you reach the end of the motorway (beware of a 50mph speed camera about a 1/4 of a mile from the end of the motorway). Then follow the A5058 towards Liverpool. After three miles turn left at the traffic lights into Utting Avenue (there is a McDonalds on the corner of this junction). Proceed for one mile and then turn right at the corner of Stanley Park into Priory Road. Goodison is at the end of this road.

If you arrive early (around 1pm) then there is street parking to be found around Walton Lane. Otherwise park over towards Anfield or in Stanley Park itself (the entrance to the car park which costs £6, is in Priory Road). Randy Coldham adds; 'If you approach from the M57 (to join the M57, leave the M62 at Junction 6), and then leave the M57 at Junction 4. Take the A580 towards Liverpool, and on the the right you will reach the Warton Sports Centre where you can park for £3. It is then a 15 minute walk to the ground with a very good Chinese Chippy on the way. By parking there you are well away from the traffics jams that you tend to get at Stanley Park after the match and only a five minute drive from the motorway system.

Pubs

Anfield Hotel - walk up to Walton Lane (the A580 dual carriageway) from the ground. Turn left and take a ten minute walk down Walton Lane, passing Walton police station. As you go under a bridge the pub is a short distance down the next road on your left.

The Hermitage' on Queens Drive (a friendly pub, 5/10 minutes walk up Walton Lane and under the bridge).

The Spellow and Wilnslow Hotel outside Goodison are recommended.

Whilst Stuart Roberts adds; 'Away fans are always made welcome in the Netley (which is where the internet Evertonians drink) which is easy to get to. To find the pub, walk to the Everton Megastore at one corner of the ground and then go down the road that runs between the Megastore and the Stanley Park. At the bottom of the road on the right hand side, you will come to the Netley. Don't be discouraged by the outward appearance of the place. It may look a dive, in fact it IS a dive, bit it's a very friendly place, and you'll be made welcome there'.

Otherwise there is the 'Stanley Park' pub on Langham Street and as a last resort alcohol is served in the away section of the ground. 
   
By Train

Kirkdale station is the closest to the ground (just under a mile away) and can be reached by first getting a train from Liverpool Lime Street to Liverpool Central and then changing there for Kirkdale.

On exiting from Kirkdale Station turn right and then cross the railway bridge, you will see a pub opposite called the 'Melrose Abbey', which is a recommended watering hole. Walk up Westminster Road, alongside the pub, for about 400yds and you'll see the Elm Tree pub. Turn left at the pub into Goodall Street and walk up to end of the road, crossing the junction with Carisbrooke Road and into Harlech Street. At the end of Harlech Street you will reach the main County Road (A59). Cross over County Road at the traffic lights and then proceed down Andrew Street. At the top of Andrew Street you can see St Lukes Church sat in the corner of the ground.

The main railway station in Liverpool is Lime Street which is over three miles from the ground and is really too far to walk (although it is mostly downhill on the way back to the station), so either head for Kirkdale station or jump in a taxi.
