Everton are ushering into a new era as they switch Goodison Park for Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
The Blues’ state-of-the-art, 52,888-capacity stadium has opened and a test event has already taken place where 10,000 supporters were given entry to the stadium in an attempt to check the functioning of the systems in place.
A second test event is scheduled to take place this Sunday which will see the Everton Under-21s play Bolton Wanderers’ B team. 25,000 supporters will enter the stadium as tests are carried out on a larger scale.
Amid the buzz of the new stadium, Liverpool City Council have now installed new signs for the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium.

Second test event to be held following critical feedback
Following the first test event, there was outrage amongst fans and supporters for the poor arrangements regarding transport, ticketing and movement of the fans.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
Everton along with the Liverpool City Council took the critical feedback into consideration and have been working on a plan for the second test event on Sunday.
When 10,000 supporters came for the first event, the public transport was choked, the roads had no signage to the stadium and the execution by the concerned authorities was poor.

Now with 25,000 supporters expected to fill the Bramley-Moore Dock on Sunday, significant changes have already been made to withstand the load. Public transport services have been improved with additional connectivity to the stadium.
The frequency of trains and buses on Sunday have been increased while a post-match ferry service is also being experimented.
To improve access to reaching the stadium, the City Council have now installed new signs on roads. Liverpool Echo reporter Joe Thomas shared on X: “New signage going up around Everton’s new stadium ahead of the second test event at the weekend”
Everton’s goodbye to Goodison Park
Goodison Park has been Everton’s home since 1892 and they are set to play their final game at Goodison in May in the Premier League.
For the last 133 years, the stadium and the fans have seen the highs and lows of the club but the Toffees are now looking at the dawn of a new era with new owners and a brand-new stadium.
Goodison Park will not cease to exist as Everton are considering turning the Walton-based stadium into the home of the Everton Women’s team.
