Everton fans will benefit from a major Premier League decision next season after a rule was extended.
Next season, the Toffees will move into the Hill Dickinson Stadium, which marks a new era for Everton Football Club.
Everton fans said an emotional goodbye to Goodison Park in May after calling that ground their home since 1892. It was an emotional day with a fairytale ending, Everton beat Southampton 2-0 to end their stay at the ground on a high.
Rio Ferdinand hailed Goodison’s atmosphere as ridiculous, naming it as one of the best grounds he ever played at in his career. With the new stadium much bigger than Goodison, fans will need to work together to bring a lively atmosphere to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
While the home atmosphere is one thing, Everton have a sensational away following as well. Away sections are constantly sold out when Everton travel to other Premier League grounds and they make their noise heard wherever they go.
Now, Everton fans will be absolutely delighted to learn about a recent Premier League announcement that they will benefit from next season.

Premier League clubs agree to extend low away ticket pricing
For nine seasons, the Premier League have done the right thing and made away ticket pricing affordable for fans who have to travel up and down the country to watch their team play.
Tickets cost £30 for away fans, compared to the hefty prices home fans are required to pay to watch their team.

While there is no news on home ticket pricing, it has been announced that Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to keep the £30 cap on away ticket pricing.
The move comes after away fan attendances grew from 82% to 91% since their introduction in 2016.
On the decision, a Premier League statement read: “Its clubs recognise the additional costs associated with fans following their team during the season, and the incredible atmospheres they create at matches”.
The move also means that fans of other Premier League teams will be welcomed to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time, at the same price as every other ground they visit next season.
Everton told what they can expand Hill Dickinson Stadium to
A new era is on the horizon at Everton, with the Hill Dickinson Stadium set to become the home of the Toffees from next season.
Duncan Ferguson was impressed with Everton’s new stadium, amid claims that a statue of him would be built outside the ground one day.
However, David Moyes is yet to train at Everton’s new stadium due to the pitch being dug up ahead of the new season. The Scot is eager to get into the new ground to quickly adapt to his new surroundings.
As it stands, the Hill Dickinson Stadium will have a capacity of 52,888, making it one of the biggest Premier League stadiums. However, Everton’s new ground can be expanded. The reported capacity is believed to be a staggering 57,679.
