Everton bans fan for life from new stadium over theft

A 62-year-old Everton fan has received a lifetime ban from the club’s new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium after filming himself stealing food during a test event before the stadium’s official opening. The incident occurred at the first test event, where the fan took chicken strips and left without paying, later boasting about the theft on social media. Everton responded by revoking his club membership and referring the matter to Merseyside Police, who settled it through an out-of-court disposal. The individual agreed to donate the equivalent value of the stolen food to the club's charity. The club emphasized its zero-tolerance policy for such behavior, aiming to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all attendees at the new stadium.
