51k or whatever being fine is not a problem. Everton have just built an entire brand new stadium with that capacity.

Spot on. It’s cost us £100m plus whatever it costs only having 37k next season.

They're expanding to 62,000 by Euro 2028.

Edit: they might not be, seems to have just been talk that they were going to.

I was chatting to an Everton season ticket holder the other day. He was telling me that they can expand the North stand to duplicate the South stand, which is the plan to take them to 60k when the time comes.

He also said that they’ve been prevented from hosting concerts there because of fears of getting fans on the pitch out in an emergency. A bit of a silly oversight, if that’s true.

Yep, I will be surprised if they are allowed to have any more then 50k unless they knock down the "sea wall". Just did a google streetview and there are nine smallish gate areas all onto Regent Road. I suspect there is a promenade option to get there as well but not sure how many people can get there without some bottlenecks near the dock gates.
