Everton supporters will be forced to head behind the red button in order to watch the on-pitch celebration following the game against Southampton. Goodison Park plays host to its final men’s Premier League game tomorrow ahead of relocating to Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
To mark the occasion, the club confirmed earlier this month that following the full-time whistle, a special on-pitch celebration will take place. Appearances from current and former players, live musical performances and specially curated big screen content will form part of the ceremony, called 'End of an Era', that will last for approximately one hour.
However, for those supporters not lucky enough to be inside Goodison and who will be watching at home on TNT Sports, they are set to have to head behind the red button.

TNT Sports has confirmed to the ECHO that coverage from Goodison will start at 11am on TNT Sports 1, but at 2.50pm that channel will switch to the Gallagher Premiership Rugby clash between Harlequins and Exeter Chiefs at Twickenham Stoop.
In order to continue to watch the coverage of the closing ceremony, supporters will have to switch to TNT Sports 7, which is behind the red button on Sky.
Coverage on the red button will run until the end of proceedings at the Old Lady, and the game, along with the 'End of an Era' ceremony, will also be able to be streamed on Discovery+.
Everton captain James Tarkowski will join pundits Duncan Ferguson, Phil Jagielka and Rio Ferdinand for the game, with Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist on commentary.
Previewing tomorrow’s game, David Moyes said on Friday: "I think all Evertonians have been sort of waiting for this moment for a long time, because the something that everyone has been looking forward to is the new stadium.
“It will be a sad day, I think it will be an emotional day for a lot of people. I’ve got to keep the players focused on the game and try to do the best we can in the game.”
Before he added: “There are a lot of people who are probably wiser and a bit more knowledgeable about Everton and about Goodison than I am but we’ve had a lot of talk about it just now, great history, great stories.
“Obviously there have been great managers and players who have all performed here. I’m just the one that’s going to shut the door on the way out, certainly on the way out for the men.
“We’re looking forward to the ladies joining us. It will be sad when it goes, but we’re moving into something which we think will give us a bigger and better future.”
