Supporter Information: Everton v Newcastle United
Please see below for key information for fans attending Thursday’s Premier League game at Goodison Park (KO 7.45pm).
COACH WELCOME
Supporters’ groups are staging a ‘coach welcome’ to greet the players as the team coach arrives at Goodison Park ahead of kick-off.
Fans are asked to gather on Goodison Road from 5.45pm. To ensure the coaches arrive and depart on time, please keep the road clear at all times.
PYROTECHNICS / PITCH ENCROACHMENT
Supporters attending Thursday’s Premier League fixture against Newcastle United are respectfully reminded that the use of pyrotechnics, flares, smoke canisters and entering the field of the play at Goodison Park is a criminal office.
At the start of this season, every club signed up to the Premier League, FA and EFL’s collective stance in tackling anti-social and criminal behaviour at football matches. This includes the use of pyros in the stadium and pitch encroachment.
Supporters run the risk of arrest and a subsequent stadium ban for possession of a pyrotechnic inside a football stadium, or for entering the field of play.
Evertonians will always play a vital role on matchdays and that is something the Club wholeheartedly values and embraces. However, this must always be done legally by ensuring everyone’s health and safety at all Club matches.

SUPPORTERS CODE OF CONDUCT / REPORTING DISCRIMINATION
Everton Football Club has a strict, zero tolerance approach to all incidents of discrimination and disorder.
We remind supporters that all perpetrators of public order offences, which includes racist or discriminatory behaviour, pitch encroachment and the throwing of objects, will receive lengthy stadium bans, potential police investigation and further possible legal sanctions.
Everton has a dedicated text number for fans to report any discriminatory or abusive behaviour they witness during matches at Goodison Park.
If you see or hear something, please report it to our Stadium Safety Team immediately by texting HELP and your message to 84300, or email reportit@evertonfc.com. In your message, please include details of what you have witnessed and where.
You will be sent a text, or email confirming your message has been received by our Stadium Safety Team.

PARK END KITCHEN
The Park End Kitchen provides a tasty appetiser to the game.
The distinctive royal blue-branded food outlet, the newest addition to the Fanzone, was agreed following discussions with the Fans’ Forum back in 2019.
The COVID pandemic delayed its launch, but the Park End Kitchen has been a popular addition to the Fanzone this season and will again be open for business on Saturday, from 5pm, serving a wide range of burgers and accompaniments.
Plans are in place to develop the food offering, in consultation with supporters, so please support the food outlet and we welcome any feedback or suggestions to improve it further going forwards.
