Everton held a second test event at their new Bramley-Moore Dock ground on Sunday ahead of the move away from Goodison Park in the summer.

The under-21 team beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 in front of 25,000 supporters - an increase on 10,000 fans that were permitted in February's first test event - and this time around it was to achieve a safety certificate for evacuation.

The game ended after 65 minutes and fans were asked to safely leave the ground following stadium protocols and were not re-admitted.

Despite the evacuation process going to plan, concerns over public transport and traffic congestion have been highlighted by fans who attended.

Everton's interim chief executive, Colin Chong said: "This was a hugely important step in our transition to Everton Stadium, and we are delighted with how the stadium and our protocols handled the increase in capacity."

"We will continue to engage with local authorities, city stakeholders and fan groups about the long term travel plan, through the Transport Working Group."
