How Everton's Bramley-Moore Dock will compare to England's 10 biggest stadiums
Everton FC news: The new stadium will be ready for the start of next season, but how will it compare?
Everton’s move from Goodison Park at the end of the season will bring down the curtain on a 132-year history.
Since the inception of the club, Everton have played their home games there and will move to the brand-new modern stadium named Bramley-Moore Dock next summer. It will mark a new era for the club as the new ground will bring a sense of prestige and raise more revenue as a result.
It will see them move from the capacity of Goodison of 39,414 to an increased 52,888 at the new ground. That will see them rise up the pecking order in terms of the biggest stadiums in England and abroad - but where will they sit in the Premier League capacity table?
