Everton’s move to the banks of the Mersey will take facilities for disabled fans to an “entirely different level” in what will be the most accessible and inclusive stadium in the UK.
Members of Everton’s Stadium Development and Fan Engagement teams have met with representatives of the Everton Disabled Supporters’ Association (EDSA) to offer insight into the improved facilities at Everton Stadium. The Blues’ future home, currently under construction at Bramley-Moore Dock, pledges to become the most accessible and inclusive stadium in the UK when the doors open in the summer of 2025.
EDSA have been given a first-hand account of the huge upgrade in numbers and facilities that will be available for disabled supporters in the 52,888 capacity stadium. Their chair, Mark Dyer said: “My fellow committee members and I were very impressed with the progress made and this meeting offered up a lot more detail in terms of facilities that are going to be available.
“We have been involved in this project since the initial planning stages and today answered a lot of questions that our members were asking, because much of what was suggested and consulted upon in the early days has been incorporated.
“Due to the nature of some of our members’ disabilities, they have a problem with anxiety in terms of change, so what we wanted to do was to reduce that as much as possible. It is going to be an ongoing process, but we have made some pretty significant progress on that today and agreed how we can work on that going forwards.”
