Everton FC braces for finale at 133-year old Goodison Park before moving to a new home

How does an iconic team that has had just one home for the past 133 years pack up all that history, culture and tradition when it comes time to move across town?

Very carefully.

Everton FC has been playing at Goodison Park, just north of central Liverpool, since the Victorian Era. And in that time the so-called Grand Old Lady has hosted more top-flight games than any stadium in England.

But Sunday’s match with Southampton will be the last. Next season, the club will play in ultra-modern Everton Stadium, built upon a former dock alongside the River Mersey.
