Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Goodison's final game moved to Monday? Rob Halligan | 07/04/2025 7comments | Jump to last I'm hearing lenty of rumours about when the final home game to ever be played at Goodison Park, against Southampton, will be played. At the moment it's scheduled for Sunday 18 May (the FA Cup Final is 17 May). However, I'm hearing it will be Monday 19 May, 6 weeks today. There are, as yet, no announcements on televised games for that weekend, and I believe Sky and TNT have to announce their games at a minimum 6 weeks in advance. Under normal circumstances, I doubt very much our game would be chosen for TV, but this is not normal. So will our game be put back 24 hours for our final game at Goodison, and all the aftermath celebrations — bearing in mind West Ham's final game at Upton Park was shown live?

Mike Hayes 2 Posted 07/04/2025 at 10:54:46 I've heard the rumours it's being moved to Monday — fucking disgrace if it is and Everton should complain and block it. 😡 Jon Atkinson 3 Posted 07/04/2025 at 10:59:33 Monday eh? Ah well, I'll fuck off on holiday on Sunday now then and make a few quid on my ticket. John Chambers 4 Posted 07/04/2025 at 11:12:11 Jon, I was talking at the weekend about the Todd Boehly resale site. At the moment, they have 12 tickets for the Southampton game for between £1,200 and £2,000! EFC should ban whoever had these tickets originally. It's one thing making a few quid but those prices are shocking. Barry McNally 5 Posted 07/04/2025 at 12:23:39 That would be a total disgrace – the decision-makers have absolutely no regard for fans. As the Leeds chant goes, 'Sky TV is effing shit'.Jon 3, you're as bad! 👎 Jeff Armstrong 6 Posted 07/04/2025 at 13:11:21 If what I heard is true and the club specifically asked for our final home game not to be on the last Sunday of the season when everyone kicks off at the same time then I think the club have messed up, it should have been a guaranteed Sunday when everyone has time after the game to digest the significance of that final whistle in a top flight game at Goodison Park.Now it could be people getting off handy to get home as they’re up at stupid o’clock next morning for work or the kids need to be up for school, did the club liaise with FAB or any other fan group before asking the EPL to make sure we didn’t play at home for the last game? Apparently they thought Sky wouldn’t be interested in the going’s on at GP because of more important games going on at the same time ( that’s not happening anyway), name an Evertonian bothered about Sky’s coverage on our last game at GP. Brian Williams 7 Posted 07/04/2025 at 13:45:14 Jeff, it is true.The club specifically asked for the last game at Goodison to be the second to last week of the season.The reasoning behind that was not wanting the occasion to be lost among possible last game drama with regard to the premier league winners and also relegation.The club weren't to know that both of those issues will/should be well decided by then. Hindsight's a wonderful thing isn't it?IMHO it was a decision made with the best intentions and makes sense to me.With regard to your "name an Evertonian bothered about Sky's coverage of our last game at Goodison?"Just about every EVERY Evertonian who can't get into the game or at least near the stadium.You're talking about thousands upon thousands of Evertonians.I'm surprised you even had to question that.
