EVERTON

Goodison Park (capacity 40,569)

Goodison Park is one of the oldest purpose built stadiums in the world, and has been home to Everton since 1892. It is located in a residential area around two miles from Liverpool City Centre, and has played host to more top flight games than any other stadium in the country.

Despite some developments in the 1990’s following the release of the Taylor report, Goodison is starting to look a little worn down, and despite a couple of thwarted attempts, the club are still actively seeking permission to build a new home. So if you haven’t yet visited the stadium, then it’s advisable to do so before it’s too late.

Away fans visiting Goodison Park are located in the Bullens Road Stand, with a typical allocation of 3,000.

Car Park	Sat Nav	Cost	Distance to Ground	Description
Florence Melly Community Primary School	L4 9UA	£10	1.6km	Located a short walk away from Goodison through Stanley Park, Florence Melly Primary School is a great choice for away fans to park.

Goodison Car Park	L4 4EL	£10	0.1km	There is a car park within the grounds of Goodison Park itself, which is a popular choice for away fans.
Priory Road	L4 2SL	£8	1.0km	Based within Stanley Park, there is a car park on Priory Road which costs £8 and is just a ten minute walk from the stadium.
Walton Lifestyles Sport Centre	L4 9XP	£5	0.8km	A popular option is parking in the Walton Lifestyle Sport Centre, which is away from the Stanley Park traffic and is just a 10 minute walk to the stadium. It is also just a 5 minute drive from the motorway.

By Train

At just under a mile away, Kirkdale station is the closest to Goodison Park. However, Sandhills Station might be a better option which is served by trains from Liverpool Central Station. This is because Sandhills Station is served by the Merseytravel Soccerbus, which runs a direct service to the stadium for a couple of hours before the game and around an hour after the final whistle.

Away fans should ensure they buy a ticket for Goodison Park rather than Sandhills even though that’s where you’d be getting off. This is because the train ticket is also valid for the Soccerbus and therefore it works out cheaper. The Soccerbus does get quite crowded after the game, so away fans may wish to consider walking or getting a taxi back to the railway station.

If you are walking from Kirkdale Station, then turn right upon exiting the station and cross the railway bridge. At the traffic lights, carry on up Westminster Road for about 250 metres, and then you’ll see the Elm Tree pub. Turn left at the pub on to Barlow Lane, and you’ll soon reach County Road. Cross over at the traffic lights and walk down Spellow Lane, where you will see Goodison Park on the left.
