Everton to celebrate fans against Ipswich

Everton will celebrate their dedicated fanbase for the visit of Ipswich Town.

Saturday’s Premier League clash is the penutlimate game at Goodison Park and its last Saturday 3pm kick-off before the move to Bramley-Moore Dock.

Atmosphere group The 1878s are set to hold their final pre-match display with all four sides of the Blues’ spiritual home incorporated into planned festivities.

The game against the Tractor Boys has now been designated by the club as a Supporters’ Day to pay homage to the role of supporters in their history.

Specially designed banners will be stationed on all four sides of the Grand Old Lady alongside a tifo display in the Park End Stand before kick-off.

“One of the best things we’ve achieved by doing [the displays] is not just helping the players on the pitch but bringing Evertonians together, no matter the age,” read a statement from The 1878s.

“We have children from nine years old to 80-year-old Blues volunteering every home game and also helping us set up.

“Without all the fans who have volunteered, donated and sponsored our displays this season, we wouldn’t have been able to do what we have.

“As a thank you, and to honour those who have helped us in giving Goodison Park a great send off, we have had a special banner made with all their names on for our last ever display.

“We are also asking everyone to wear blue, to give it one last push, and help us create an iconic image of Goodison Park that will go down in history.

“Let’s see Goodison out in style and then let’s carry the story on… on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey.”
