Everton held their second test event at the new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium recently, and the U21s’ game with Bolton Wanderers saw the return of an exciting youngster.
A 25,000-strong crowd turned out to watch Everton’s youngsters beat Bolton.
The game actually ended midway through the second-half, with a scheduled evacuation taking place.
The event was a success, although some Everton fans did express concern about transport links and traffic surrounding the stadium.
But excitement is now really growing, with the current season only two months away from finishing.
BMD will then officially become Everton’s new home, and fans are hoping it plays host to lost of special memories just like Goodison Park.
The second test event was a positive experience for many, and it also signalled the comeback of an exciting youngster.

The skilful winger has not been playing for the last couple of months due to injury.
But he played for the U21s against Bolton, making a cameo appearance off the bench at half-time.
And Beaumont-Clark might have marked his return with a goal, but saw a low curling free-kick well saved.
Yesterday, the gem took to Instagram to send a message to fans are returning to action, writing: “Happy to be back on the pitch with the squad after a couple months on the sidelines.”
Kingsford Boakye posts message after goal for Everton at Bramley-Moore Dock
Everton won the game against Bolton 1-0, and it was Kingsford Boakye who got the game’s only goal.
The youngster officially become the first scorer of a winning goal for Everton, and second scorer after Ray Robert for the U18s against Wigan Athletic in the first test event.
The Ghanaian winger – who is a product of MSK Zilina – signed for Everton in January 2024, and is a player the club have high hopes for.
He got on the end of a great Roman Dixon cross, after a lovely through ball by Beaumont-Clark.
Following what was probably an incredible moment for him scoring at BMD, Boakye said on Instagram this morning: “That feeling.”
