Everton v Southampton: Important Supporter Information

Supporters attending Sunday’s historic final match of the season against Southampton are encouraged to arrive early and enter the stadium well ahead of the 12pm (noon) kick-off.

A coach welcome to greet the players is planned to begin from 10am and turnstiles at the stadium will open from 10.30am.

The live show in the Fan Zone will also get under way at 10.20am, meaning there are plenty of reasons for Blues to get down to Goodison and soak up the atmosphere on a significant afternoon for the Football Club.

Supporters are also reminded to remain in their seats following the full-time whistle to enjoy ‘End of an Era’, a show that will celebrate 133 years of the Grand Old Lady.

Once the match ends, there will be a brief pause while staging is erected on the Goodison pitch. During this time, supporters will be able to purchase food and drinks – including alcohol – from the concourses and then return to their seats. Please note, consumption of alcohol will only be permitted in the stadium bowl after the full-time whistle.

To help ensure a safe and respectful environment on the day, Everton and Merseyside Police are politely asking supporters without a ticket for the match not to congregate in the areas immediately surrounding Goodison Park. This is to protect the safety of local residents, fans, players, staff, and to allow those with tickets trying to enter the stadium to do so.

The Club has also reminded supporters that any unauthorised damage or removal of seats, fixtures or artefacts from the stadium may be treated as criminal damage. In such cases, Season Tickets or Premium Memberships for Everton Stadium could be withdrawn.

We remind supporters that all perpetrators of public order offences, which includes racist or discriminatory behaviour, pitch encroachment at any time, and the throwing of objects and/or the use of any form of pyrotechnics (including smoke grenades, smoke bombs/canisters and flares), will receive lengthy stadium bans, potential police investigation and further possible legal sanctions.

Everyone attending is also asked to remain vigilant at all times, trust their instincts and report anything that doesn’t feel right to security or the police.

On the eve of this landmark occasion, Everton Football Club would like to thank all supporters for their continued loyalty, passion and understanding — and for coming together to give Goodison Park the send-off it so richly deserves.
