Everton fans’ group outline PL protest plans

Everton fans are being encouraged to join a matchday protest against the Premier League.

The 1878s have outlined plans for a show of disapproval at the club’s 10-point deduction ahead of their side’s showdown with Manchester United on Sunday.

Over £40,000 has been raised by the matchday group after they set up a donations page in response to the Blues’ financial fair play breach ruling.

Those funds are already being used towards a series of banners and placards, the latter being handed out to fans attending the latest Goodison Park fixture.

The group has also revealed that it will be chartering a plane message above Saturday’s top-of-the-table clash between Manchester City and Liverpool.

“We have had a lot of requests asking for a plane to be flown over Goodison on Sunday, with a message to the Premier League,” read a statement.

“Due to our kick-off time, it will be dark. So instead a plane will fly over the Etihad on Saturday for Manchester City versus Liverpool which will be watched by millions around the world.”
