Everton Stadium: Video shows fan zone at Sandhills station ahead of test events

A video shows a new fan zone at Sandhills station, ahead of Everton’s first season at the club’s new Bramley Moore Dock stadium.

Steve Rotheram, Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region, has said the fan zone will prioritise fan safety and ensure quick and reliable travel.

He added that at least 12 services will run through Sandhills every hour on a match day.

Posting on X, Steve Rotheram said: “I know a lot of people have questions about the new fan zone at Sandhills station ahead of the opening of Everton Stadium later this year.

“Rest assured we've been listening to feedback from fans, and we're working to make sure it is a smooth and safe experience for everyone.”
