Everton fans came out in their thousands to greet the team coach ahead of their crunch Premier League clash against Southampton.
Blues supporters lined the streets around Goodison Park in anticipation of Frank Lampard and his squad arriving on Saturday afternoon. And once they did, coming to the stadium past the club shop, flares were set off and the Blues made their way down Goodison Road through a sea of blue smoke.
'The 1878s', who describe themselves as 'a group of fans steering Everton towards an enjoyable atmosphere', organised the welcome following a Twitter poll. The Blues head into this afternoon’s clash against Nathan Jones’ side inside the bottom three.
