Everton News columnist Alan Myers has slammed Hill Dickinson Stadium’s transport links having struggled to get away from the ground himself.
With fans desperate to get home at a reasonable time after these late kick-offs, the Hill Dickinson Stadium stands are emptying well before the final whistle.
This is a result of the stadium’s poor transport links, with fans facing a long wait for trains away from the ground or a lengthy walk back into the city centre.
Liverpool City Council are looking to improve Everton stadium transport links, but it is not going to be a quick fix.
Everton fans would not have left if the game was not won
It must be noted that fans were leaving their seats once the points had been wrapped up.
The poor transport links surrounding the stadium make early exits completely understandable when people have work and school the next morning.
Everton have played six Monday Night Football slots this season, which is just one away from matching West Ham’s record from the 90s.
This does not even take into account the multiple midweek games that have been held on the Liverpool docks.
There have also been a number of late weekend games. This is an issue that Everton will hopefully look into for next season if transport links do not improve.
