Frustration is growing among Everton supporters after another late fixture switch.

The latest scheduling decision has sparked a strong response from fan representatives, who say the burden on matchgoing supporters is becoming unsustainable.

Everton Fan Advisory Board slams change of Man City home fixture

The Everton Fan Advisory Board has criticised the decision to move another home fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium to a Monday night, describing it as further evidence of the “disregard” shown towards fans.

In a new statement, the group said repeated scheduling changes are placing increasing strain on supporters, from additional travel costs to rearranging work and family commitments at short notice.

While acknowledging the importance of broadcasting revenue in the modern game, the board warned that the cumulative impact is now damaging the matchday experience and long-term engagement.

They also pointed to the wider financial pressures facing fans, particularly during a period of rising living costs and the club’s transition to the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The group confirmed it will raise concerns directly with the Premier League and broadcasters, while also urging the club to advocate more strongly on behalf of supporters.

FGG says: Scheduling imbalance only adds to fan frustration

Everton fans will feel they are being disproportionately impacted, especially given how frequently they have been selected for less fan-friendly time slots like Monday nights.

While TV demands are part of the modern game, there’s a growing sense that supporters are being pushed too far, particularly when costs and logistics are constantly shifting.

At a time when clubs are asking for loyalty and backing, especially during a stadium transition, decisions like this risk undermining that relationship.
