Matchday Guide: Everton v Coventry

Fans are strongly advised to arrive early as Everton host Coventry City in the Premier League at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Friday 6 November (8pm kick-off).

This game marks Everton’s annual Remembrance fixture, which will see a tribute take place ahead of kick-off involving representatives from the Armed Forces, the laying of commemorative poppy wreaths in memory of the fallen and a rendition of The Last Post. More details on the Remembrance ceremony can be found HERE.

RAIL ENGINEERING AND ROAD WORKS

Supporters are advised to plan their journey in advance due to ongoing engineering works taking place on the Merseyrail network, which will entail replacement bus services operating between Hunts Cross and Moorfields (NB: there is no rail replacement bus stop by Liverpool Central).

Train services will be running as usual between Southport, Ormskirk and Headbolt Lane & Liverpool Central, and return journeys. For the latest updates Merseyrail, click HERE

On the approach to the stadium, Boundary Street is currently down to one lane due to emergency gas works.  Boundary Street will continue to operate as a one-way street in the direction of Hill Dickinson Stadium in the three hours prior to kick-off, minimising disruption for matchday traffic and bus services. However, supporters are advised to leave more time for their journey in case of delays in and around this route.

AUDIO DESCRIPTIVE COMMENTARY

Everton has introduced a new digital service that will allow supporters to access Audio Description Commentary through their own mobile devices when attending matches at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The technology – accessed via a web link - enables blind and partially-sighted supporters to listen to live Audio Description Commentary (ADC) through the flexibility of their own smartphone and headphones, removing the need to collect and return a separate receiver and offering a more seamless and independent matchday experience.

Fans wishing to access the new service should visit the Accessibility Ticket Office on matchday, where members of the Club's accessibility team will help them download the app and get connected.

NB: Supporters will need to bring their own headphones compatible with their mobile device to use the service.
