Everton now only have three more games to play at Goodison Park before they wave goodbye to the historic ground.

An emotional period awaits the Toffees as David Moyes and his side face Southampton in the final game at Goodison Park next month.

Some seriously tricky fixtures lie between Everton and their Goodison finale, but all eyes are beginning to shift towards that fixture.

With the Blues looking all but safe in the Premier League, Moyes has finally chosen to visit Bramley-Moore Dock.

The 61-year-old has refused to visit the new stadium until he felt the club were safe from the drop.

But it may not be the fairytale send-off for Goodison, with Everton fans battling for an appropriate kick-off time.

Everton fans write to Premier League over Goodison Park finale

It has now been suggested Everton vs Southampton could take place on a Monday night, with the FA Cup final set to shift fixtures about.

This is not how fans would have envisaged their final goodbye to Goodison.

And this has seen the Everton Fan Advisory Board write to the Premier League to request an appropriate kick-off time.

Even journalist Henry Winter has reacted to the development, he took to social media to say: ‘Everton fans call for a “sensible” kickoff time for Goodison’s final game.’

What also has to be considered is Southampton fans are potentially being asked to make the journey up to Merseyside and back for a Monday night kick off.

It is not a fixture which would suit either party.

Peter Reid thinks Everton have big plans for Goodison’s finale, but it is apparent some fans feel the mood could be lessened by playing on a Monday night.

Considering the number of issues Everton have had with the Premier League over recent years, this would certainly be appreciated if they were to listen.

Everton’s final fixtures at Goodison Park

Since Moyes made his return to Merseyside, the Blues have only lost one of his home fixtures and that came on his very first game in charge.

The Toffees have been in fine form under the 61-year-old and have seen Arne Slot praise Everton for their home display in the Merseyside Derby.

But the games are now ticking down and fans only have three more experiences of walking into their historic ground.

Tickets are going to be like gold dust, but fans are clear in their stance they do not want Goodison’s finale to take place on a Monday night.
