Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock welcomed 10,000 fans for a test event featuring an under-18 friendly match against Wigan Athletic as the Premier League club prepare to say goodbye to Goodison Park at the end of this season.

A select band of Evertonians saw a glimpse of a bright, new future as the £800million stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock opened its doors for the first time. However, some fans also raised concerns about transport, with the nearby Sandhills train station described as a “disaster waiting to happen” by one supporter.
