Despite securing major silverware across nine separate decades, a feat that only Liverpool and Manchester United can top, the Blues have not tasted success since Paul Rideout’s goal gave them a 1-0 victory over Alex Ferguson’s Reds Devils in the 1995 FA Cup final.

With Everton moving to the Mersey waterfront, financial experts have calculated that playing at Hill Dickinson Stadium should boost their coffers by an additional £60million a year while the 52,769 capacity enables the Blues to play in front of the biggest regular crowds in their history given that previously they have only once enjoyed average attendances of more than 50,000 ((51,603 for the 1962/63 title-winning campaign).
