Time to take a stand? The law on all-seated stadiums in England and Wales and the case for change - The International Sports Law Journal
In June 2018, the UK Government announced a review of the ban on standing at football matches in the Premier League and Championship. Nearly 30 years since the Hillsborough disaster, there is growing interest in the introduction of safe-standing to football grounds in England and Wales. This...

This is why they didn't put the D in, we all know they would have got the K in and then rain/wind would stop play for a month with Hill Dick on our roof.

Hopefully it's the last letter they paint on, last thing we need is to give the childish kopite whoppers even more ammunition.

I think the most the site could support was 60k I read somewhere.
However if TFG do purchase the dock next door that changes doesn’t it ?

On what basis?
The original St Lukes and Buro Hapold was 60,000.
There's a lot of conjecture saying it can't be this it can't be that, ultimately the people at the club decided they weren't going too big capacity wise. Theoretically there's room. There always was.

Seen various comments saying that the stadium design allows for extension, to provide a capacity increase. That is never going to happen.
The stadium as built, is it, for the long-term foreseeable.
If demand rises to a point that the current capacity is regularly deemed inadequate, ticket prices will go up. Eventually a sweet spot will be found, where maximum ticket sales are still achieved at higher prices.
It would be a very long time, if ever, before this simple and hugely profitable demand control mechanism was substituted, for expensive construction work to modify the stadium.

We traded off a higher capacity with good expandability options in a poor location (Stonebridge Cross) for a lower capacity, almost zero expandability in a good but not perfect location - perfect would have been staying at Goodison, levelling the area around it (RS style) to create a 65,000 monster!
How many of you would have preferred Stonebridge Cross even if it was 60,000 and easily extendable to 70,000? Not me.

I'm old enough to have seen crowds of over 70,000. However, those sort of numbers were always going to be difficult to attain in this location. It's a brilliant location and a brilliant home for the city's first club, but I agree that it's a paltry capacity.
