Matchday Guide: Everton v Wolves

These two match rounds align with Stonewall’s campaign and support will be visible at Goodison Park, both on Wednesday night and this weekend’s game. All clubs during this period will be demonstrating that football is everyone’s game, in a variety of ways.

Everton’s backing of Rainbow Laces forms part of the Club’s All Together Now initiative, which promotes equality and diversity in everything that Everton and Everton in the Community does.

Since its launch in December 2018, All Together Now branding has been used across LED perimeter boards, the jumbotron screens and in concourses at Goodison on matchdays, while several schemes to encourage equality have been developed by the Club across Merseyside.

Sailors from the Royal Navy's largest aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales will be special guests of the Club, and four crew members will make a presentation to Club Ambassadors in a pre-match pitchside presentation.

The visit is Prince of Wales' second to Liverpool, and sections of the ship were built at the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead.

The Queen Elizabeth-class warship will receive the highest civic honour the city can bestow on Friday when it receives the Freedom of the City.

HMS Prince of Wales has a crew of around 700, increasing to 1,600 when aircraft are on board.

The Gwladys St 1938’s will unveil a new flag, paying tribute to Everton Giant Colin Harvey.

The BP garage remains open for business. 

Access from Walton Lane direction. The cemetery is still open for visitors. If access from Utting Avenue can be arranged, this will be done on the day.

The live show, commencing at 5.45pm, will be hosted by BBC Radio Merseyside's Giulia Bould and there will be a live performance on stage from Neil Noa.

Fans Supporting Foodbanks and their unmissable purple vehicle will be in the Fan Zone all season on matchdays. They will be accessible from Goodison Road.  

Match attending Blues are encouraged to donate non-perishable goods and a variety of dry products, such as rice or pasta, tinned foods (including tomatoes and tuna) or non-perishable packets such as breakfast cereals, biscuits, long life milk, coffee, tea, fruit juice, sugar, and snack bars.  

Toiletries and children’s nappies are also gratefully received.  

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.

Simply post a message using that hashtag and it could be shared on the screens inside the stadium and in the Fan Zone before kick-off, or at half time.
