Liverpool fans troll Everton in last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park with cheeky banner about moving ground
LIVERPOOL fans poked fun at Everton with a cheeky away end banner.
The Toffees welcomed their Merseyside rivals to Goodison Park for the final time ahead of their departure for Bramley Moore Dock at the end of the season.
A cheeky banner held up by away fans pointed to Everton‘s lack of silverware in recent years.
It read: “At least an empty cabinet is easier to move.”
Fans also held up balloons with the numbers 30 and 1995, depicting how many years it’s been since Everton’s last trophy.
The Toffees’ most recent silverware was the 1995 FA Cup, with Paul Rideout scoring the winner in the final against Manchester United.
Everton fans held up banners of their own, with one reading: “We built this city – since 1878.”
The Toffees have been based at Goodison Park since 1892, having previously played at Anfield.
They will move to their new £760million Bramley Moore Dock home at the start of next season.
The stadium is set to hold 52,888 fans.
