Everton new stadium: Expansion of new feature confirmed and timeline moved

Everton Way is to be expanded with the feature widened along the entire length of the south stand at the club’s new stadium to allow more fans to cement their place in history.

An overwhelming desire to be included has led to hundreds of supporters joining a waiting list for a planned second phase of the unique paved walkway, made up of engraved granite stones that celebrate Evertonians’ loved ones plus births, marriages and anniversaries. With Everton Way set to become a major attraction for visitors to the 52,888 capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, especially those with an emotional connection, the club has now opted to widen the existing walkway to accommodate the huge demand.

This expansion of the original design means that the comprehensive timeline of the club’s rich history, which was included in the original plans, will become a separate feature close to Everton Way, with further details issued on its location in due course. The timeline will celebrate Everton’s identity and achievements through the years with this new location, presented as a standalone attraction, allowing more space to tell the story of the Blues’ importance as one of the game’s founding fathers while Everton Way will continue to have the club’s Giants represented by large granite stones, laid in and among the supporters’ own personalised stones.

In addition to having a stone at Everton Stadium - and ahead of installation - supporters will also have the chance to purchase a replica stone. Presented in an Everton-branded display box, these replica stones offer an additional memento, along with the option of a personalised A4 presentation certificate of authentication.
