FAN BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT  

Anti-Discrimination: Everton Football Club has a zero-tolerance stance on any discriminatory behaviour and language used travelling to, from or during the match. We are committed and dedicated to embracing equality and diversity in everything we do.

The Club has launched its ‘All Together Now’ campaign to promote a ‘Football Family for Everyone’. We will not stop in our mission to drive equality through the positive power of football. Fans who witness inappropriate behaviour which is offensive, discriminative, victimising or causing harassment to any of the protected characteristics should raise this by emailing the Club on reportit@evertonfc.com.

Possession or use of pyrotechnics: Everton Football Club does not condone the use of pyrotechnics under any circumstances. Any fan found using them will be subject to action by the Club and police. Away clubs use various techniques to detect the possession and use of pyrotechnics. Any person found in possession of such items is liable to arrest, which could result in a criminal conviction and subsequent football ban. 

Anti-social behaviour: In previous seasons there has been an increase in fans becoming involved in anti-social behaviour on transport services to and from the match and in and around the stadium. This results in the social activity of fellow fans during half-time and when travelling to and from a football game being ruined by the actions of the small minority. Such actions can result in ejection from the stadium/transport provider or, in the case of more serious incidents, an arrest and subsequent football ban. 

Please continue to enjoy your matchday but we ask that you also consider other supporters and how they will be affected by your behaviour.

We would like to thank you for your continued support in protecting Everton Football Club's reputation and in enhancing the matchday experience for all.
