Being convicted of using a pyrotechnic could result in a jail sentence. As a Club, they will also impose an indefinite ban on anyone caught using pyrotechnics.

As well as the risk of a ban or conviction, the devices have serious effect on others, particularly those with breathing difficulties and those who cannot easily get away from the smoke.

Code of Conduct

The Club ask that all supporters remain seated throughout the match and do not block the aisles. Any supporter who attempts to disrupt play, at any time, will be ejected from the stadium and may be arrested. This also applies to any supporters identified to be throwing items onto the field of play or into the home supporter areas.

Supporters may be searched prior to entering the stadium. In accordance with Ground Regulations the following are offences under the Football (Offences) Act 1991, as amended by the Football (Offences and Disorder) Act 1999:

• The throwing of any object within the ground without lawful authority or excuse.

• The chanting of anything of an indecent or racist nature.

• The use of threating behaviour, foul or abusive language.

• The entry onto the playing area or any adjacent area which spectators are not generally admitted without lawful authority or excuse.

• Any supporter not adhering to the above will be refused entry to the stadium or ejected from their seat and may be arrested.

Beer throwing and throwing of items

Group “bouncing” and throwing of items, including beer and items being thrown into the air are all prohibited.

Although it has only involved a small minority of fans, it has resulted in both Everton FC and the police receiving complaints from supporters who have become soaked in beer or hit by items thrown. This is anti-social behaviour and people should not have to put up with it. Therefore, the Club, Merseyside Police and supporters’ groups have discussed how this should be addressed.

Firstly, both the Club and the police want to make it clear that we want ALL our supporters to enjoy their day and we understand that this may include singing and an element of “bouncing” as a group.

Any home or away fans participating in the throwing of alcohol or any other items in any area of the stadium, will be dealt with by Matchday Stewards, with the full support of Merseyside Police Officers. This could culminate with an ejection from the ground or potentially an arrest, dependent on the specific circumstances.

Please continue to enjoy the match but we ask that you also consider other supporters and how they will be affected by your behaviour, and we ask for your support in this.

Report It

Everyone attending or taking part in a football match has the right to feel safe, valued and included and we encourage supporters to continue to play their part in this.

If you witness discriminatory behaviour at a match or around a stadium, please report it to the police or a steward. Supporters at Goodison Park can text HELP plus details of what they have witnessed and where to 84300, or email reportit@evertonfc.com.

Seating

Please be advised, due to several instances with items being thrown between home and away supporters, Everton Football Club has introduced a netting system to act as a prevention, with the purpose of maintaining the safety for both sets of fans.

No Readmittance

Everton operates a strict no readmission policy. No supporters will be allowed to leave and re-enter the stadium during the match.

Departing The Stadium

On rare occasions after the final whistle, there may be a request for visiting supporters to remain in the stadium for a short time whilst the immediate areas are cleared. You will be informed of this during the match via the PA announcements and stewards.

As Goodison Park is situated in a residential area Everton FC asks you to respect their neighbours and their homes. Please dispose of your rubbish in the bins provided, use the toilets provided in the stadium and be mindful of minimising noise and disruption.

All matchday facilities such as Fan Zone and the Matchday Hub will be closed after the final whistle.
