Everton offer fans free travel

Everton are offering free coach travel to supporters who are planning to travel to Sunderland next week.

All fans with a valid match ticket for the FA Cup replay at the Stadium of Light will be entitled to accept the gesture.

"We appreciate it is not always easy to get up and down the country for midweek fixtures, so we have tried to help out by organising coaches for fans planning to attend the game," said chief executive Robert Elstone.

"We understand not everyone will be in a position to travel from Goodison but we want as many Evertonians as possible in the Stadium of Light to support David and the team, so hopefully many of our travelling supporters will be able to take advantage of this gesture."

The first match between the two teams on Saturday ended in a 1-1 draw.
