Everton are leaving Goodison Park at the end of the season.
The Toffees are preparing to leave one of the oldest and most iconic grounds in the country for a new 52-000 seater.
Everton will be playing all their home games at the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, which is running its second test event this weekend.
The under-21s host Bolton Wanderers B team on Sunday afternoon and 25,000 fans will be in attendance.
There’s still work to be done on the ground, particularly regarding transport and the commercial side of things.
And now, Alan Myers has just provided the latest on a naming rights deal.

Latest on Bramley-Moore Dock stadium naming rights deal
Asked for an update on the stadium naming rights deal, Everton insider Alan Myers shared that he hadn’t heard anything.
MORE EVERTON STORIES
It was reported in January that Everton were set to announce a naming rights deal imminently, but that’s since gone quiet.
Dan Friedkin is keen to secure a £10m-a-year contract across a decade, so evidently, the sponsors will have to pen a long-term commitment to Everton, such is why it’s taking time.
It was suggested that Toyota could be a possible sponsor as the Friedkin’s have done business with the Japanese car manufacturers previously.
Everton’s new stadium will transform finances
Everton’s new stadium is expected to generate £40m extra in revenue, so it will completely transform the club’s finances.
PSR issues will be a thing of the past and David Moyes will be able to spend much more freely in the transfer window going forward.
Moyes is already eyeing Hamza Igamane ahead of the summer, who is in prolific form with Scottish giants Rangers.
Tom Fellows has also been linked with a move to Goodison Park in recent weeks.
