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. 💙 — Football Away Days (@FBAwayDays) May 15, 2025 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. First Published:

True blue leaves celebrating Liverpool fans red-faced
On the off chance that you missed hearing about why some Liverpool fans celebrated their winning of the league by greeting the team coach at Anfield with blue – blue! – flares, we'll hand you over to an Everton-loving tweeter by the name of Tony Blue Blood: 'My mate just texted me there. He bought 10,000 blue flares and spent the last 4 weeks taking the blue labels off them and putting red labels on them. I hope he sells the f***in' lot.' For that, we are awarding Tony Blue Blood's mate the prestigious 'Football fan displaying the most magnificent entrepreneurial spirit' award for the 2024-25 season. Oldham fans poke fun over vegan-friendly Forest Green Rovers Back in 2015, the English National League's Forest Green Rovers became the world's first vegan football club, and ever since, as they say themselves, they are 'continually looking at new ways to push the boundaries of environmental consciousness in sport'. READ MORE Among their initiatives has been irrigating their organic pitch with water pumped from the away fans' toilets, which has probably resulted in fewer players going to ground too easily. The club is best known for its strict vegan-only food policy. If you ever visit the ground and have a longing for a beef burger, pork pie or sausage roll, you'll be out of luck. Instead, you'll be offered the likes of Quorn, deep-fried leek and mashed potato pies, vegan pizzas and fajitas. Oldham fans dressed as butchers off to Forest Green today… Forest Green are the worlds first fully vegan football club. 😭 — Football Away Days (@FBAwayDays) As we mentioned before, the club's players haven't always adhered to this policy, a snitch of a taxi driver once revealing to the press that he had delivered £200 worth of fish, chicken and chips to the team coach. Most, though, are respectful of FGR's principles. Well, except for some visiting Oldham fans. What did they come dressed as for their recent game? Butchers. And they were carrying inflatable cows and sheep. No doubt they spent the game singing 'meat pie, sausage roll, come on Oldham, give us a goal'. They didn't get one, they lost 1-0. Serves them right. Quote of the Week 'They have captured the whole universe. I am sure if you go to the moon, there'd be someone there asking: 'How are Wrexham doing?'.' – Wrexham legend Mickey Thomas on the club's three successive promotions extending their fan base beyond planet earth. Number of the Week: 8 The number of Republic of Ireland players who have been relegated with their clubs from the Premier League – four with Ipswich, three with Southampton and one with Leicester. Carnage. Word of Mouth 'The first second I held him after he was born, I told him 'you're going to be the best player in the world'.' – Mounir Nasraoui on putting quite a bit of early pressure on his baby boy. Mind you, his son is Lamine Yamal, so Mounir wasn't far off with his prediction. 'A big shout out to the guy dressed as a shoe who overtook me when I was struggling and gave me some great words of encouragement. Thank you mate.' – John Terry saluting a fellow runner in the London Marathon, but in doing so revealing that he was overtaken by a man dressed as a shoe. 'I don't know how it would be if the boot was on the other foot – but we'll never really know.' – Celtic's Luke McCowan somewhat cheekily suggesting there'll be no need to give Rangers a guard of honour for winning the league any time soon. April 5 – Scott McTominay: 'I never ate tomatoes at home. They're just red water. Here, I eat them as a snack. They're incredible.' April 28 – Kyle Walker: 'The food is amazing. Even the tomatoes are nice here.' British footballers' appreciation of Italian tomatoes is gathering pace. 'The difference between the teams isn't that big.' – Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor after Barcelona beat her side in the Champions League semi-finals . . . 8-2 on aggregate. 'This season has not been good. We are a thousand million points behind Liverpool.' – Pep Guardiola conceding there's quite a gap between his lads and the champions. 'The manager and physio say that I need to relax and rest, but I say no. When I die I will have a lot of time to lay down and rest.' – Bruno Fernandes adopting a 'plenty of time to sleep when you're dead' policy.

Female football fan has the perfect response to 'slapper' taunt as she flashes rivals supporters
A female football fan came up with an unexpected response to rival supporters who labelled her as a 'slapper' during a match. One individual - who was seen in the away end during Bolton Wanderers ' visit to Lincoln City on Monday - was taunted by home fans. Bolton were comfortably beaten 4-2 by the Imps and finished the game with 10 men after Josh Dacres-Cogley was sent off in the closing stages at the LNER Arena. However, the fan in question did not let the defeat dampen her spirits as she engaged in some interesting antics with opposition supporters. Footage shared on social media shows the woman, who was seen sporting grey leggings, a white top and white hoodie with a Bolton scarf - giving Lincoln fans the middle finger with both hands. In the clip posted on X, the brunette fan can be seen dancing playfully in response to chants of 'Slapper, slapper, what's the score? Slapper, what's the score?' This Bolton fan at Lincoln yesterday… 😭 — Football Away Days (@FBAwayDays) April 22, 2025 After being on the receiving end of more choice words from the home fans, she decided to take matters even further. A video that surfaced on X, formerly Twitter, shows her lift up her white top to reveal a grey sports bra, with fans cheering in response. Fans were quick to give tongue-in-cheek replies, with one commenting: 'Good to see Bolton still playing 2 up front.' A second said: 'She must be the one who distracted their keeper then, that's the only explanation for him conceding from that freekick.' However, others praised the way in which she handled the situation humorously given the chants she was being subjected to. A third remarked: 'Fair play to her for taking the banter & giving a bit back.'
