Everton have commenced the process of holding talks over transport issues at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Toffees moved into their state-of-the-art home on Bramley Moore Dock at the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign, leaving Goodison Park behind.

Since the start of this term, the Merseyside club have made eye-catching improvements to the ground following supporter feedback.

Everton's last match before the November international break took place at the Hill Dickinson, with David Moyes's men beating Fulham 2-0 in the Premier League.

Everton hold talks over transport issues amid supporter complaints

According to The Athletic, Everton are taking steps to further improve the matchday experience for supporters, namely in their journeys to and from the venue.

The report claims that members of the transport working group – consisting of representatives from the club, Merseyrail and the local authority – have recently held discussions with fans.

The collective are scheduled to have another meeting scheduled this month to discuss feedback from supporters, with a view to enhancing the ease of transport.

Streetlights, stations and stationary cars

There is known to be an issue with a lack of lighting around the area of the stadium, with the local council recently pledging £1.5m to improve the situation.

On top of this, supporters have complained of hefty waiting times for trains at Sandhills station, especially after matches.

There is also a problem with traffic congestion around the ground, making it difficult for car owners to get away from the area following the full-time whistle.

FGG says: Teething problems are inevitable

After over 133 years at Goodison Park, there were bound to be some teething problems as Everton moved to their new home on the docks.

Adding the unique location of the stadium to the mix, it is no surprise to see that improvements to the transport situation are required.

Luckily, the Toffees have an ownership group who have proven their ability to take feedback onboard in order to implement changes.
