Yeah this is true, actually I've seen bats at Goodison, Main Stand defo has some living inside.I was talking to a local businessman who bought some derelict buildings in the town centre 'for next to nothing' (his words) and he was going to have them developed and was looking at making a lot of money. Until someone discovered that there were bats in there and he couldn't touch the buildings, that was 20+ years ago. Not a happy chap
I had never heard of the bat protection laws before he told me but as of now, the disused buildings are still in a state of ruin.

Years ago I was in a stone mine in Lancashire, an old one that was sealed, when they sealed it they had to build pipes going in and out to.allow the bats to.come and go as they wish.
