Everton make brilliant gesture for fans travelling to Bournemouth for Carabao Cup game

Everton take on Bournemouth in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, November 8 as they travel to the south coast for the second time in the space of four days.

The Blues are ensuring those supporters travelling to Bournemouth for the cup clash will not have to part with a single penny as they then take on the Cherries the following weekend.

Everton sold out their allocation for the cup tie at Bournemouth - and all fans attending will be reimbursed for their ticket. A credit-balance will be added to the account of the lead purchaser for the clash at The Vitality Stadium.

OPINION: Frank Lampard can't say what every Everton fan is thinking following latest 'baffling' FA charge

That credit can then be used to purchase further Everton tickets in the future. The gesture by the club has been applauded by the Everton Fans’ Forum and Supporters’ Club Committee.

An Everton statement confirmed: "The gesture is in recognition of the loyalty of Evertonians, who will be making the first of two trips to the south coast club in the space of four days, with the Blues also scheduled to face the Cherries again in the Premier League on Saturday, 12 November.

"This latest gesture is another example of Everton saluting the devotion and commitment of travelling supporters. With so many Blues making that long journey south twice in the same week, everybody at the Club, including the Chairman and the board, and manager Frank Lampard and his players were keen to demonstrate the huge appreciation for such amazing travelling support, which is never taken for granted."
