The one person who is mostly responsible for that is now dead. Let's hope we soon have the type of owners we deserve. Those that can drag the club upwards to where it should be.

Btw, would love a small statue somewhere of Eddie Kavanagh on the pitch at Wembley 1966 and the copper trying to grab his jacket. Funny, I know, and whilst pitch invasions are inappropriate those are the characters who have contributed to our history and set our Club aside from every other. It was one little iconic episode in our history and we should be able to laugh at ourselves as well as acknowledge the serious side.
Meant also to say another Everton 'first' where a fan invaded the Wembley turf notwithstanding the White Horse final in the 1920's which was down purely to overcrowding

Sure in the past Barcelona dug down below the pitch level and added more seats. Don't know whether I've made that up,but I'm sure I've heard that somewhere before.
Yes. They definitely did. I'd guess about 25 or so years ago.
isnt City's pitch below ground level too as the stand at ground level was the lowest for the athletics track, hence they had loads of room to go down and reduce the hole to pitch size?

That was planned for at the outset.

Correct.
City were always going to move in there after the Games so the stadium was designed with conversion in mind.
The City of London Stadium on the other hand didn't have a future tenant lined up so wasn't designed to be converted to football use, hence why it's awful!
I'm not sure we have sufficient room pitch side to do that as it already seems pretty compacted size wise.Sure in the past Barcelona dug down below the pitch level and added more seats. Don't know whether I've made that up,
Yeah realise that now, pipe dream, just thought it would probably be the cheapest way of doing it.
Bike racks, the detail is amazing really, with the Archibald Leitch design engraved into them, what more can Dave wish for.

Could not do without the drone videos and I'm so grateful to the lads that keep us going with them - but I love these ground-level videos the club does.
I only wish they were longer and more regular!

I am not recommending this but surely all you have to do is limit the number of season tickets, have the "worst" seats as season tickets, keep the best seats in the East Stand to sell at a premium price on a match by match basis. Then all sell
