Everton fans have expressed great concerns about travel options for the new Bramley-More Dock of the club after attending a test event on Monday night.
The new 52,888 stadium of the Toffee opened its doors for the first time to receive the Everton U-18 clash with Wigan U18.
Wigan won a 2-1 victory, but it was the subject of the field that much older lifted the alarms for the 10,000 followers who arrived at the Bramley-More dock.
Several fans went to social networks to express their concerns about arriving at the scene through the Sandhills train station, and one insisted that the current configuration was a “disaster waiting to happen.”
“Sandhills is a disaster that expects it to happen, you must be ashamed of Portaloo City,” Fanzone “Absolute misfortune,” a fan published in X.
Another agreed, and added: 'If we still did not know, we do it now. Sandhills absolutely not suitable for its purpose. He needs a large and fast rethinking @lcrmayor ', while a follower simply declared:' Observations tonight. Do not use sandhills. '

Photos were also shared in X of fans crowded on the platform in Sandhills, with multiple followers pointing out that things would only worse when more than 50,000 people attend matches since the beginning of the next season.
One wrote: 'They need to put railings on the platform in Sandhills. Spaces where the train doors go. The 10,000 test event made it onslaught, dangerous. No matter 53,000. F *** That cycle route as well. A tram, a transport bus, anything can fit there. The council has screwed it with the stupid parking permits.
Another said: 'Someone needs to highlight the failures of @lpoolcoCil … Transport routes to and from the stadium, the street lighting, the Sandhills station … accidents that expect to happen when there are more than 50,000 of us and will be A real stain in all the good work done by @Everton.
That message was repeated by another bearer who published: 'If that test event taught me something, is that @Merseyrail is not ready for the volume of traffic on the couple days.
'@lpoolcoCil you need to order it before something bad happens'.
There were also complaints about the price of food inside the stadium, with a cake cost of more than £ 6, while a 'toffee donut' was valued at £ 3.50.
'Great stadium. But a mission to Sandhills. It could be a difficult walk for some, especially with bad weather. We saw old boys fighting at the station. It needs to be a transport to there and the city.
'Also breaks on the ground for food, but probably expected. £ 6.20 for a cake ', was the verdict of a fan.
