FAN BEHAVIOUR AND SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT 

Anti-Discrimination: Everton Football Club has a zero-tolerance stance on any discriminatory behaviour and language used while travelling to, from or during the match. We are committed and dedicated to embracing equality and diversity in everything that we do. We take this opportunity to remind supporters about the Club's ‘All Together Now’ campaign, which was launched to promote a ‘Football Family for Everyone’. We will not stop in our mission to drive equality through the positive power of football. 

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. 

Pitch Encroachment: Encroachment on the playing surface is dangerous and any supporter who does access the pitch without permission will face strong sanctions that could include a ban from attending matches across the country. It is a criminal offence to enter the pitch and the real-life consequences for these actions have been felt by many. By way of example, some fans have received criminal records, which can impact employment, education prospects and international travel. 

Anti-Social or Criminal Behaviour on Concourses: We ask all fans to consider fellow supporters while on the concourses. Any anti-social behaviour, such as beer throwing, can result in ejection from the stadium, or, in the case of more serious incidents, arrest and a subsequent nationwide stadium ban. 

The Club is compelled to work with the authorities to identify any individuals who take part in unacceptable behaviour. 

CCTV is available to clubs and law enforcement authorities and can be used as evidence in enforcing bans and criminal prosecution in the days and weeks after any incident has occurred, regardless of whether any perpetrators have been detained on a matchday or not.   

Please enjoy your matchday and stay safe.

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