Goodison-Park

Full End-to-End Solution at Everton’s ‘Farewell Goodison’ Matchday

After 27 years working with Everton, we were proud to play our part in the club’s final men’s first team match at Goodison Park.

As the Blues look ahead to their new home at Bramley-Moore Dock, we supported the delivery of a fitting farewell to the Grand Old Lady, with bespoke content, fan activations, and a full venue experience to match the energy of the crowds inside and outside the historic venue.

133 Years of History...

Our Studios teams brought Goodison’s story to life with bespoke matchday content that honoured 133 years of Everton history. From iconic goals to unforgettable fan moments, we created tailored video packages that ran across the stadium’s screens — turning the venue into a living tribute to the Grand Old Lady.

Delivered seamlessly from our gallery teams at ADI HQ in Preston, the content was played out across the club’s digital network, from big screens to digiBOARD to ribbon displays. This was more than just highlights — it was a full content takeover, crafted to reflect the pride, passion and personality of generations of Evertonians.

Elevating the Fan Experience

While our Studios teams told the story, our Live Events crew brought the atmosphere. Taking full creative and technical control of the fan zone, we delivered a packed schedule of live content and activations that gave supporters something special from first arrival to final whistle.

Crowds filled the streets around Goodison hours before kick-off, creating a buzz that carried into the fanzone. With staging, screens, sound, and show control all managed by our team, we helped turn the space into a vibrant extension of the stadium — complete with live music, fan content, and interactive moments that kept the energy high.

From early morning setup to post-match celebrations, our end-to-end event solution made sure every detail ran smoothly, contributing to a send-off worthy of the occasion.

End-to-End Solution

To help the club deliver operation “Farewell Goodison”, we provided a complete end-to-end solution, combining creative, technical and operational expertise to support every part of the day. From synchronised stadium screen content and live camera feeds to full show control and staging, we helped ensure the post-match ceremony ran seamlessly from start to finish.

Tributes from club legends, famous fans, and football icons played out across the venue. With our support behind the scenes, the club was able to deliver a send-off that honoured Goodison’s legacy in every detail, creating lasting memories for the 39,000 inside and many more across the city.
