Despite taking over Goodison Park as their home base, Everton Women are playing their Manchester United counterparts at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday.

You may be wondering Why Everton Women are playing at Hill Dickinson Stadium after just making Goodison Park their home? Is it because they have yet to win a game at their new stadium and are hoping this change of venue will bring them new luck?

Alas, no; diligent research by The Echo in the above-linked article has revealed the answer. It's because  WSL rules state that at least one match per season must be played at the club’s nominated main stadium. So, even though Everton have handed over their old main stadium for the past 133 years to the women’s team, they are still required to step out at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium. 

What better time to provide an opportunity or a host of Evertonians to go and watch the women as well as experience the wonders of the new stadium than an International Break for the men's team? 

If you can't make it to be part of the huge crowd expected at Everton's new stadium tomorrow, you can watch it on Sky Sports, kick-off at 12 pm.

A bit confused over this one, they have just inherited Goodison Park, Capacity @ 40,000 + admittedly they are reducing the capacity to about 20 -25k.

Is there a reason why they are playing at Hill Dick (was it the dick that got them interested), or is Goodison Park not playable due to the work going on?

WSL rules dictate that all teams associated with a men's senior team must play at least 1 match per season at the men's stadium.

Didn’t we just sell the women’s so they’re not actually part of the club any more?
