Everton supporters have a hard task saying goodbye to one of the most historic stadiums in England in Goodison Park.
Having been home to the Toffees for so long, leaving for a move to Bramley-Moore Dock is something that will be painful, while also exciting.
Everton’s move will represent a step forward for the Blues, with The Friedkin Group leading the way off the pitch, while a new stadium increases revenue opportunities.
David Moyes has also admitted that there is one big advantage he is looking forward to as well.

Moyes makes Goodison Park admission
Moyes is a man who knows Goodison very well, highlighted by just how well he has done since his return to Merseyside earlier this season.

The Toffees were sitting just one point above the relegation zone at the point of Sean Dyche’s exit, but Moyes has taken his side up to 13th in the table.

Goodison Park is a historic stadium.
Thanks to the Scotsman, supporters at Everton can now start looking to the future with much more optimism about what’s to come.
The boss has admitted, there is something he is looking forward to in the move as well, highlighting his one problem with Goodison Park.
Speaking ahead of the game from the dugouts on TNT Sports 1 (18 May, 11:42am), Moyes admitted: “I tell you what I won’t miss… as you well know, is that you can’t see the ball at the other end of the pitch here, so we’re standing up half the time.”

Everton exit from Goodison bittersweet
After all that Everton supporters have had to put up with over the past number of seasons, the move from Goodison at this time does feel like the start of a new era on Merseyside.
However, leaving a stadium is never easy, especially when you consider the amount of history inside the place, both on and off the pitch.
Moyes’ consideration possibly highlights why those above felt as though a move was necessary, with an increase in the level of facilities on offer and a modernisation of the club.
Nevertheless, the goodbye will no doubt be an emotional one for all of those inside Goodison for the final goodbye.
If Moyes is spending less time on his feet upon the move, though, and that makes him happier, hopefully that will prolong his time on Merseyside bringing success to the Blues.
