Everton’s Disabled Supporters' Association (EDSA) have been given the opportunity to have their say on the upcoming historic move from Goodison Park to Everton Stadium.
The Club’s Insight team met with EDSA during the annual Level Playing Field ‘Unite for Access’ weeks of action, which provide a window for the celebration of good access and inclusion at sports venues.
The meeting was part of a series of face-to-face focus groups that have taken place on the migration to Everton’s new home in the summer of 2025.
These focus groups have seen Everton officials meet with a wide and diverse range of supporters, including the Fan Advisory Board, Season Ticket Members, those on the Season Ticketing waiting list and the Junior Fans’ Forum.
Members of EDSA received a presentation on the new stadium and what it will have to offer, before being asked for their thoughts on key themes and findings that came from the Club’s fan survey on migration conducted late last year.
They also discussed the Season Ticket priority process for Everton Stadium, both individually and for family and friends, factors that impact seat selection, seating preferences, and what they would like to see from stadium test events.
Finally, the group discussed ideas to celebrate the final campaign at Goodison Park and how planned activities can be tailored to include or appeal to all supporters with accessibility needs.
Everton’s senior data science and insight manager Mike Gittins, who hosted the session, said: “It was a pleasure to be able to sit down with the members from EDSA and to talk about the migration of Season Ticket Members from Goodison to Everton Stadium.
“It was great to get a different perspective on what is important for our disabled fans in regard to the areas they wish to sit at the new stadium, the increased importance of their Friends and Family connections and the details of how ingress and egress will work for them at the new stadium."
“The insight gained from this session - and all our focus groups - has been invaluable in helping the Club’s shape its migration plans.”
Formed in 1994, EDSA works alongside Everton Football Club to improve the facilities for disabled supporters, ensuring they have a positive matchday experience by providing constant feedback to the Club.
As part of the Level Playing Field 'Unite For Access' campaign, which this year runs from February 26 - March 10, EDSA have hosted a virtual junior fan Q&A with James Tarkowski and been invited to a tour of Finch Farm with Club Ambassador Ian Snodin.
Updates on the work of EDSA is shared on the Club website throughout the season.
