Development proceeded via a arrangement where sold the land to New Blue Properties (later ROM Capital) for £2.1 million, with the developers funding construction to the club's specifications at a total cost of £6.4 million. Construction concluded in July 2007, the complex opened on 9 October 2007, and it achieved full operational status on 8 November 2007, under a 50-year tenancy agreement effective from 26 July 2007.

This setup marked a significant upgrade, addressing Bellefield's limitations in space and modernity while preserving the site's character through contoured landscaping.

Expansions and Modern Upgrades

In March 2016, Everton announced redevelopment plans for Finch Farm, including a dedicated recuperation block for first-team players to aid recovery and a new facility for ground staff to enhance maintenance operations. These upgrades were confirmed to be underway by then-manager Roberto Martinez, aiming to improve player welfare and operational efficiency at the 55-acre site.

Operations and Usage

Finch Farm functions as the central hub for 's first-team training, where the senior squad performs daily sessions encompassing fitness conditioning, technical drills, and tactical simulations to sustain competitive readiness. The team relocated to the complex on 9 October 2007, transitioning from the aging Bellefield facility to leverage the expanded pitches and support infrastructure for professional-level preparation.

The maintains continuous Category One status under the Premier League's , introduced in 2012, which mandates high standards in facilities, coaching, and player welfare to support professional development.

No routine public tours are offered, though organized events like EitC showcases or youth experiences provide controlled entry for specific groups. Supporters sometimes gather outside the main gate to view player arrivals during sessions, a practice noted in fan discussions but subject to site restrictions and weather conditions.

Controversies and Criticisms

Media Bans and Access Restrictions

In April 2017, Football Club banned journalists from newspaper from accessing , the USM Finch Farm training ground, and all other club premises, citing a column by former editor that described midfielder in racially offensive terms, likening him to a "" due to his Scouse-Irish heritage. The club's statement emphasized that it would not "dignify any journalist with a response to such appalling personal abuse," extending the prohibition to match coverage, press conferences, and training ground access. This measure aligned with FC's longstanding policy of excluding The Sun over its coverage of the 1989 , which had fueled widespread boycotts of the publication. However, Everton's decision was precipitated specifically by the Barkley incident, amid MacKenzie's prior suspension by The Sun for the remarks. No public reversal of the ban has been announced as of 2025, effectively restricting The Sun's on-site reporting from Finch Farm, where press activities such as pre-match briefings typically occur. The ban reflects broader tensions in , where clubs enforce access limits to address perceived ethical breaches, though it has drawn criticism for potentially limiting journalistic scrutiny. Everton's policy otherwise adheres to guidelines on , but selective exclusions like this one underscore discretionary controls over training ground entry.

Player Incidents and Disciplinary Actions

In November 2017, midfielders and walked out of a training session at Finch Farm following a dispute over their attitude during drills, leading to their exclusion from the subsequent match squad against . The club imposed internal sanctions, including potential fines, though Mirallas later issued a public apology while denying formal disciplinary exclusion from training. A physical altercation among Everton's under-18 players occurred at Finch Farm on January 26, 2015, resulting in goalkeeper Ciaran O'Loughlin sustaining a injury that required treatment. investigated the incident as an alleged brawl, but no criminal charges were reported, and the club handled internal disciplinary measures without public disclosure of specifics. In February 2009, striker was sent home from Finch Farm after a heated disagreement with manager during training, stemming from tactical disputes. Anichebe faced club disciplinary action, including a temporary exclusion from sessions, though he was reinstated shortly thereafter without further escalation. Under Frank Lampard's management in January 2023, a reported confrontation between the and escalated from the dressing room to Finch Farm, contributing to tensions that preceded Lampard's dismissal later that month. The incident highlighted ongoing squad discipline issues, prompting Lampard to implement a fine system earlier in his tenure to enforce training and behavioral standards. Everton has periodically addressed broader disciplinary frameworks at Finch Farm, such as the 2022 introduction of a player leadership group to monitor squad conduct and the application of fines for lapses in . These measures aimed to mitigate recurring issues like attitude problems during sessions, though specific player outcomes beyond high-profile cases remain internally managed.

Security and Fan Interaction Issues

In January 2020, following Everton's 1-0 defeat to in the on January 5, a group of approximately seven supporters arrived at Finch Farm on January 7, seeking to confront the players over the team's poor form. The fans were unable to access the squad, who were on a rest day, but director of football Marcel Brands engaged with them at the gates, listening to their grievances about commitment and performance. This incident highlighted tensions between frustrated supporters and club management, though security protocols prevented direct player-fan interactions. Similar protests occurred in January 2023 amid Everton's struggles in the January transfer window, particularly the failure to sign a despite ongoing goalscoring issues. On January 31, dozens of fans gathered outside Finch Farm with banners criticizing the board and ownership, standing in sub-zero temperatures to voice discontent over recruitment and financial constraints. The demonstration remained peaceful and external to the facility, with no reported attempts to breach perimeter security, but it underscored recurring fan frustration during periods of on-pitch underperformance and off-field limitations. These episodes reflect broader challenges in managing supporter access at complexes like Finch Farm, where high perimeter and personnel are standard to maintain for first-team sessions. While no verified instances of unauthorized entry or physical intrusions have been documented, the gatherings prompted club officials to reinforce protocols for handling external protests, balancing fan expression with operational . Incidents of this nature have been infrequent but tend to coincide with losses or deadlines, amplifying scrutiny on the site's isolation from public roads.
