In may we shall bring a visit to Liverpool and the stadium of Liverpool FC.
My question is: At what times daily is the fanshop opened?
The shop in the city centre (Williamson Square) will be open from 09:00 to 17:30 before you buy any shirts or other Kit check the prices at Sports World in Paradise Street (150m from Macdonalds)you might save yourself a few euros.
Also check out JJB sports next door to the Liverpool shop.

Don't try and imitate the accent. So many people do and so few actually can. Scouse (the name for Liverpudlians and for the accent) is a combination of the generalised Northern accents with a heavy Irish influence and some less obvious Scandinavian touches (apparently!). The word scouse refers originally to a stew that was cooked at the onetime thriving dock side by Norwegian sailors. The stew was called Skaastew and the purveyors thereof became known as Skaasers. Eventually all of Liverpool's population became known as scousers.
While we're at it - try to avoid the phrases:
'Calm down', 'they do that there though don't they though' and the like. They will not win you friends.
Comments about all scousers being thieves are likewise unlikely to gain you popularity. A few bits of vocab for understanding purposes only:
scally = common person (from scallywag);
bevy = drink (from beveridge);
keks = trousers (and/or underpants);
peg it = run for it (this is an interesting one as in other parts of Britain it means die!);
busies (as in the plural of busy) = police;
dead = dead (obviously), but also = very as in 'that's dead good';
hard (as in 'he's dead hard') = tough;
having a cob on = being in a bad mood.
I'll add others as they come to mind.
The website below will give very good detailed information about places associated with the Beatles in both London and Liverpool. It's not just about where they lived, but schools, marriages, pubs drunk in, paper rounds...whatever. Wonderfully detailed.
It includes an interactive map of Liverpool.
I recommend it because it has three floors with the bottom floor being heavy metal, 2nd floor being rock and top floor being mixed, oldies and new RnB, dance and pop music. so it caters for most tastes.
Also there are two for one offers on selected drinks. any dress is acceptable really.
however most people just tend to wear casual clothing
Trainers/sneakers are allowed
Merseyrail claim to be one of the most efficient railway companies in the UK - although by my experience at least, I doubt they are the cleanest.
On a map of Liverpool, the number of stations in the central area makes it look as if the city has a metro system (it doesn't) : the rail network is of little use in navigating the city centre. Tne city centre is compact and the trains are very deep underground, which means more walking than you probably would to get to the same point on the surface !
If you are going to a nearby town of interest (like Chester for example) then it may be of more use to you.
