Having spent the first few years of their existence playing in a flat corner of Stanley Park and at Anfield, Everton finally moved into their current stadium in 1892 when the club effectively split in two following a fractious dispute with club chairman and owner of Anfield, John Houlding, over repeated rent hikes among many, many other things.
Left with a stadium and no club, Houlding formed Liverpool and went on his merry way while the Toffees moved into Goodison, one of the world’s first purpose-built football grounds, and began their ascent 971 metres away on the opposite side of Stanley Park…

Houlding, the biggest melt ever, approached the FL to register a team in our name and got knocked back. He was about as popular as leprosy on Merseyside, the first team they put on the park were all Scots as no English players wanted to know him or his 'club'. That lot fielding a team of 'foreigners' is nothing new

Going to be a sad day when we leave her behind.
If all seater stadiums had not become law Goodison would be still up there as a top stadium proud to have stood on those terraces as no one wanted to sit down in those days how ironical the kopites are aloud to still stand today!

Lot of memories at Goodison....family and friends
I for one would miss it a lot.
Still the only club ground in this country to hold a World Cup Semi Final
