Is it usually about 2 hours before k.o.?

Players finishing their full English and rolling up about 10:30?

How busy does it get - assume most players happy to sign a few things?

Son is desperate to get some players autographs/piccies.......got a bit of space with his "Crooks - 25" away top........🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

I would aim to get there 2.5 hours before. I went down at 1pm (for a 3pm kick off) and caught a couple of stragglers but had missed most of the first team.

Happy to give him my autograph if he reads Nobby's Notebook?
..... and you for that matter 👍
 
I don't know whether it's still possible now, but when my son was younger we would phone Rockcliffe and ask when the "open" training sessions were and go along to watch. If we were there as the players were coming out, most of them would spend 5-10 minutes talking to the kids, signing shirts, having selfies taken etc. If your son is desperate to meet the players, its a much more up close experience. Probably going to be difficult now, with only a week of the season left, but worth bearing in mind for next season
 
I've never been... but the "standard" for most teams for all games is 2.5 hours before kick off.
Watched a few Ben Foster type podcasts and an interview with Klopp once where they all say similar.

They don't currently do those days at Rockcliffe any more. It's something that was suggested by multiple fans to improve the connection between fans and club on Rob's thread a few weeks ago. I assume that was fed back to the club.
It would be great if they did. Even it was just a couple of days through the summer

Hopefully we can get an one off open session sometime at Rockcliffe. We have asked the club but the coaching staff are very focused in their job at hand
- but I think we can appreciate that security wise general open sessions for fans are no longer possible. It has to be specially organised events.

They are all really open to selfies and signatures. Get a spot nearer to the players entrance. Like someone has said about 10 on Saturday should be ok
