Not as well as last time, but about as expected. Never ever going again while the kids are off. Must have been 60 or so people around When it's that busy, no players want to stop and sign. Carragher stopped, signed a hell of a lot then drove off. Arbeloa was waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up, so walked over to the main entrance and signed everything put in front of him. He even got a round of applause when he left for doing it. You tend to find that one the big names have all gone, people disperse a bit, so it did quiten down a lot but still no-one was stopping. Sissoko didnt come out for about an hour after everyone else had left, and he stopped for the 10 or so people left. Got a huge signature from him Rafa had gone to Anfield early to do press conference and came back in Rick Parry's car. Got Rick Parry to sign, which i was happy with cos it's not someone you get everyday. Rafa didnt leave till just after 6, but I'm glad i stayed, got another huge sig from him too. Made it a long day but was definately worth the wait. You may have more luck in the hotel, calmer and more relaxed environment for them to sign in.

Funny you should ask this, i've got a week off and i'm actually going to melwood tomorrow for some autographs. Have been once a few months ago, primarily to get my Xabi Alonso match worn shirt signed, but also took some other stuff to get signed. Be prepared for a lot of waiting around, and quite a bit of disappointment. When i was there, miraculously Stevie G stopped, along with Jamie Carragher (who by all accounts always stops), Alonso, Kuyt, Sissoko, Zenden, Agger, Gonzalez, Aurelio and Pepe Reina. The rest just drove past. By all accounts, its rare for Gerrard to stop, and Hyppia never stops, Riise very occasionally, and I've heard Crouch will only sign outside the ground at home games. Rafe is pretty good for signing autographs, but he works stupidly long hours, and to catch him coming out early is a miracle. We gave him an hour after the last player left and still no sign of him. Due to the whole ebay money making and forgeries, it seems you'll get bettter sigs if you ask them to dedicate to you (although my mate asked Carra to sign to him, and he said I'll sign it, you can write your own name!). I'd also guess it'll be busy tomorrow, kids holidays should have a fair few younger lot out If you want to watch them train, a lot of the younger local kids rob peoples bins and stand on those watching over the walls. I'm gonna be in the other half's Freelander, so I'll pop the moon roof out, stand on the seats and watch that way. A lot of white van workers drive by during the day, park up for 10 mins, climb onto their roofs and watch for a while Hope this helps, if you do go tomorrow, watch out for the bloke in the black Freelander with his head stuck out the roof.....come say hi!
