Alan Myers believes that Everton’s exceptional Premier League request was the “right decision” that they took.

The Premier League schedule for Everton’s final season at Goodison Park, 2024–2025, was revealed only recently. With construction of the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium slated to begin in late 2024, excitement for the Toffees to move into their new home is growing.

On the other hand, as it will result in the removal and eventual demolition of one of England’s oldest and most historic grounds, there is also growing disquiet in the same vein.

Fans shouldn’t panic, though, as they still have a ton of games left before that fatal day, which is scheduled on May 18, 2025, against Southampton.

Everton’s Premier League call-up is praised by Alan Myers There was some surprise at the Goodison Park farewell schedule when the fixture list was made public. Of course, that’s where the majority of Evertonians gathered, eager to witness if they would face a challenging match to conclude their time in The Old Lady.

It is, however, the penultimate game of the season rather than the final one, as many had anticipated.

Since then, we’ve learnt that Everton intentionally asked for this, wanting to spare Goodison Park from the emotion of the last day and give it its own unique match week to celebrate.

Journalist Alan Myers has applauded this action and would write on X: “I believe that @Everton has made the right choice in requesting that the final home game be played the week before the final game; it will be a memorable day that is visible to everyone outside the stadium and to those inside without interruptions!” Goodison Park merits its own celebration on its own.

This explanation does make sense, even though initially it appeared like the incorrect course of action because there would be one more confrontation after the tearful departure.

After all, with relegation and the Premier League title race both having gone down to the last day in the most recent campaign, the focus was all over the place from both the media and fans.

So, to put it on the penultimate game of the campaign instead affords it complete focus, with the scheduling for TV also expected to be optimal too.

For those lucky enough to be inside the ground, a great atmosphere is promised to hopefully cheer on a victory against the newly-promoted Saints.

Meanwhile, those watching at home will play host to a clash where all the build-up the week prior will have been on it.
