Very true...there's been a lot of talk about us not filling Goodison.
Since when did we not fill it?
And if you sit in the seats at the back of the lower bullens, lower gwladys...you'll realise how unbelievable tosh some of those seats that people are buying really are!
Personally...I'm not sure about 60k capacity...but we'd piss 50k all day long.
We've generally been around the 35/36,000 mark since 2000, but after some fans started losing interest/patience towards the end of Moyes' time here, it's been in the 38,000+ region.
They obviously couldn't ever understand being in our situation as they've never been through the mediocre times that we have, but they dismiss obstructed views having an obvious negative impact and ignore what happened to other relatively similar sized clubs in terms of fanbase when they got their stadium moves.
On top of that, the days of 36,000 crowds at Goodison are over now that we've actually got some ambition at board level and have introduced more reasonably priced season tickets. We're currently selling out and our Stadium is well over 99% full, the only reason it isn't at 100% is when the away fans of clubs like Palace and Swansea fail to fill the reduced allocation that they have taken.
We may not sell 60,000 every week but we'd be comfortably over 50,000, and loads of clubs have a couple of thousand empty seats in improved grounds, themselves included.
Would Everton be better off getting 39,000 at Goodison, or 53,000 ish at a Waterfont Stadium? As they've said though 35,000 with the option to expand IF we succeed is probably the way to go having given it some thought lol.
