Tony Scott from The Everton FC Podcast - All Together Now says the train to Bramley-Moore Dock stadium "was not pleasant" and he is just one of many fans who have raised their concerns over the transport infrastructure.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside at the second test event on Sunday, Scott said: "I was here for the first test event and this time it is all about safety and that was not pleasant.
"I took my eight-year-old son to the first one and the stadium is fantastic, but it was tarnished by the journey home. We were treated like cattle at Sandhill station, but as it was the first test event we gave them the benefit of the doubt.
"At the second, I got on the 11:40 train and the safety aspect was unbelievably bad. People were worried for their safety on there. We were promised there would be trains every 15 minutes but that was not the case.
"They might have been more frequent after 12 but it was a 14:00 kick-off, so why not put on more trains for those that want to get to the stadium earlier?
"I live in Aintree and the platform there is fantastic because it is extended for when the horse racing is on. Trains run every seven and a half minutes and it is frequent and professional. Why hasn't that process been put on for 85,000 people here?
"People will be using public transport because there aren't that many car park facilities around the stadium, so something needs to be done and the quicker the better."
