Fans are giving Goodison Park a farewell campaign with them ready to leave their home after 132 years.

The 39,414 seater will be switched for a more modern 52,888 capacity arena.

The new ground is built on the docks of the city next to a waste water treatment plant.

It is only two miles up the road from their spiritual home.

Borussia Dortmund’s iconic yellow wall has inspired the 13,000-seater stand that will host the club’s most passionate fans.

The new stadium is also expected to become the heart of an exciting new area for the community containing shops, housing and bars and restaurants.
