Bottoms Up! Everton Set To Break Strict Premier League Rule For Final Home Game At Goodison Park
Last Updated:
David Moyes' side is preparing to bid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park in the final men's match at the 132-year-old Liverpool stadium against Southampton on Sunday.
In what is touted as the last hurrah, Everton plans to loosen up the mood at the historic Goodison Park by re-opening kiosks to allow fans to buy alcohol and enjoy the last outing with a cold one in the stands — breaking a stringent Premier League rule along the way.
Moyes' side will be hoping to toast a drink in jubilation, rather than to drink away their sorrows when they take on the already-relegated Southampton in the final home game of the season.
David Moyes' side is preparing to bid an emotional farewell to Goodison Park in the final men's match at the 132-year-old Liverpool stadium against Southampton on Sunday.
The Premier League club plans to open its new arena at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
As a little gesture of celebration and thanks for the Toffees' faithful, the club has announced that fans coming in for the final home game of the season will be permitted to drink alcohol in the stands and consume it within view of the pitch after the match.
The kiosks and bars in the stadium will sell alcohol before the game and at halftime, meaning supporters will only be able to drink in the concourse area for the game, as usual.
For the first time in 40 years, Everton fans will be permitted to bring alcohol into the stands of Goodison Park for their Premier League game this weekend. 🍻A special rule break is in place for the occasion as fans bid farewell to the iconic ground. 💙 pic.twitter.com/HM1W8HSxNR

It won't be the end of Goodison Park as a whole, though.
Everton's women currently play at nearby Walton Hall Park.
With a capacity of 39,572, Goodison will become the largest dedicated women's football stadium in England.
During the construction of Everton's new 53,000-capacity stadium on the dockside, the club's previous owners announced plans for a renovation project at Goodison that would have included housing, a care home, retail units, and a park.
But after being taken over by The Friedkin Group in December, Everton switched their plans to retain the stadium.

Australian media blast Spurs' sacking of Postecoglou as 'big mistake'
Australian media on Saturday blasted Tottenham's decision to sack home hero Ange Postecoglou as a "big mistake", saying he had consistently shown himself to be a winner. The Australian, one of the nation's most successful managerial exports, steered Spurs to their first European prize in 41 years and secured a place in next season's Champions League. But he also oversaw their worst domestic season since they were relegated from the top flight in 1976-77, which ultimately cost him his job. The Sydney Morning Herald branded chairman Daniel Levy's decision "cold-hearted" and one the club "will almost certainly live to regret, regardless of whether his replacement is a success or not". "There will now always be an unanswerable 'what if' about the possibilities that lay within a third season at Spurs for Postecoglou," it said. "And there appears to be no hope that whoever comes in next will get what he needs to satisfy Levy, who seems to be prioritising higher finishes on the Premier League table than the idea of actually winning things." In a column for The Australian newspaper, former Socceroo and West Ham star Robbie Slater branded Postecoglou's firing "a big mistake". "Levy has left himself in a really, really difficult position now. He's already not liked by the Spurs fans and now he's taking a massive gamble here," he wrote. "Ange had promised 'season three is always better than season two'. Good luck with that Spurs." Former Australia and Celtic boss Postecoglou was the fifth manager sacked by Levy in the past six years. Australian national broadcaster ABC was more measured in its criticism, noting that "in the cold light of day, Postecoglou was always going to be hard pressed to keep his job". But it also questioned why Spurs would get rid of a man who delivered what he said he would winning a trophy in his second season in charge. "He has shown himself to be a winner in every league he has had an extended run in, be it Scotland, Australia, Japan and now England," it said. "Sacking Postecoglou fits with Tottenham's recent reputation of throwing away promising situations and making life uncomfortable or even torturous for its supporters." mp/tym CELTIC PLC TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

'Sir' David Beckham: English Icon Set To Be Knighted By King Charles III
Last Updated: The 50-year-old is set to be bestowed with the prestigious title 'Sir' by King Charles III in recognition of his services to the beautiful game and his charity work. Legendary English footballer David Beckham is set to be knighted next week in the King's Birthday Honours list, reports said on Friday. The 50-year-old is set to be bestowed with the prestigious title 'Sir' by King Charles III next week in recognition of his services to the beautiful game and his charity work. Beckham, who won 1115 international caps for the Three Lions, is set to join other illustrious names in British sporting history, including former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and tennis stalwart Andy Murray. Beckham was appointed an officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2003 before his wife and former Spice Girls star Victoria was conferred with the same for her services to the fashion industry. Beckham, who has been a UNICEF goodwill ambassador since 2005, is also part of the King's Foundation, lending support to educational initiatives to ensure a greater awareness amongst the next generation about nature. The former Manchester United star was set to receive the high honour back in 2012 for his efforts in bringing the Olympics to United Kingdom, but the nomination was put on fold following alleged tax evasion charges which were eventually dropped. Beckham made over 700 appearances in an illustrious career highlighted by his incredible free-kick abilities and pin-point long through passes. The iconic '7' clinched the Premier League title six times in addition to a UEFA Champions Trophy during his storied time at Man United under Ferguson. However, Beckham made the switch to Spanish giants Real Madrid following a spat with Ferguson in 2003, where he was part of the Galacticos up until the year 2007 as the Englishman opted for a switch to the USA with LA Galaxy. Beckham spent a couple of seasons on loan at Serie A heavyweights AC Milan before his switch to French side PSG, where he ultimately called time on his glittery career which included 127 goals across all competitions he played. Beckham announced his desire to exercise the option of buying an MLS expansion team, Inter Miami, in 2014 and has taken the development of the Florida-based side to exponential heights following his efforts to rope in Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.
