Interesting that the 2nd image seems to have rail seating in it. Hoping there's something in that.

The approvals cover both. Always have.

Fair enough
The restricted view doesn’t look great!

It’s only the stands that are restricted in that pitch. No part of the pitch is restricted but I guess they’re only mock ups.
Didn't mean for that to sound abrupt btw.
The infrastructure, the spacing, and the approval is there. We have seen how quickly clubs can swap to standing rails, it can happen at any time in an off season. It could even happen next off-season ahead of it opening, if the club wanted to.
I know people will argue changes cost money and if the club priced for seats they might not want to undo that. Of course they would.
We have just seen three far more significant changes happen during construction, that will have more noticeable of a cost (and programme) impact than swapping seat to rails. Three voids introduced to the floorplates of the commercial buildings, louverers swapped to perforrated panels and the whole hotel facade re-aligned. If they can accommodate those changes, they can do seats for rails too, if they decide to.

Wow. Get your point but is that accurate?

I'm assuming it'll be completed in time for next weekend. A few cans of emulsion and a bunch of rollers, and it'll be good to go, yeah?

There will be screenshots flying around of the empty seats as well.

Looks like plenty of room. Perhaps a problem at the swamp and Anfield.

What’s up with you? If we resign Navas or Danny Mills it’ll be a perfect view to block their cross attempts.
Off topic.
Also posted in the stadium development thread.
Inside Everton’s new stadium.
From EFC. It’s such a shame City and Sisk don’t do similar update videos about the North stand expansion.
The new Everton stadium looks really good.

Have they started on the last crane yet?

That’s all the site could hold and other sites weren’t as good so it was a trade off.
I did find that odd.
It’s a while since Everton were the best supported club in Liverpool but, even so, they still have good support in their city and around the North West (my experience of places like Warrington, Wigan, Preston etc. is that there are more Everton fans there than City).
I’d have thought 60,000 would be better. Even then, eighty years ago they used to get crowds as high as 78,000.
Every club in the country should have much bigger stadiums than they do. How can a club with Liverpool’s support only have a little 62,000 stadium? City, Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs, Villa, Everton with little stadiums.
You’d think United and Liverpool would be in 90,000 stadiums with 75,000 for City, Newcastle, Arsenal, Spurs, Villa, Everton.
