Please see below key information for fans attending Saturday’s Premier League fixture against AFC Bournemouth at Goodison Park (3pm kick-off BST).

NO ROOM FOR RACISM

This fixture is dedicated to the Premier League’s No Room For Racism campaign, with the league and its clubs reiterating our collective action against discrimination and promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across the game.

Everton’s All Together Now initiative, which later this year celebrates its five-year anniversary, promotes the work of the Club and its charity, Everton in the Community, in this important area. More information about the All Together Now campaign can be found HERE.

Both teams will take a knee ahead of kick-off and supporters can expect to see No Room For Racism messaging on Goodison Park’s screens, across Club channels and in the matchday programme.

VISIT THE PARK END KICHEN FOR PRE-MATCH FOOD!

With the autumnal weather now setting in, why not warm up for the match with a hot, fresh meal from our Park End Kitchen!

The distinctive Royal Blue-branded food outlet can be found in the Fan Zone behind the Sir Philip Carter Park Stand and was established following discussions with the Fans’ Forum in 2019.

It serves a range of tasty dishes that differ from your traditional football stadium food offering, including Salt ‘n’ Pepper Fries topped with peppers, red onion and coriander, and a Katsu Chicken Curry.

Burger lovers are well catered for and can choose from a classic or gourmet chicken burger, while vegan supporters can enjoy a burger consisting of a quorn buttermilk pattie topped with mild cheese and served with a tomato relish.

We welcome any feedback or suggestions to improve the Park End Kitchen’s offering further going forwards.
