You know what you’re doing - they don’t want to reclaim anything

Yes I am standing up for disabled people's rights and speaking up when people suggest taking areas back, even temporary, of disabled areas to fit in "normal" seats or to make it look aesthetically better and less empty.

I am sorry someone standing up for principles and a fairer society makes you feel uncomfortable
 

I believe a deal has been agreed over naming.

It wont be agreed until Friedkin has looked at it and I cant see that happening until Moshiri has cashed the cheque.

Bound to be a PL rule that will be broken if Friedkin doesnt wait until he gets the keys to BMD that will end up with us getting a 20 point penalty.
 
That stadium is designed to be capable of holding >60k fans. It is designed in almost every fashion to handle that volume. They have just focused in achieving that in the hope that safe standing ratios are allowed to increase. Disability access and locations are based upon capacity, not number of seats, as are concourses and provision of facilities.

I said a while back, with diagrams, how we could be tye only current club to be able to take actual monetary positives out of an increase in standing rations. Spurs for example have maxed out there seated capacity and designed their concourse/circulation and facility provision for those figures. Old stadiums will almost certainly not be able to have a greater than 1:1 ratio due to their provisions being likely already lower than required. It will in fact likely be more like 0.9:1 due to space requirement differences between standing and seating.

I was only highlighting it to @WelshBlue92 and talking from a legal perspective.

FYI my father is a retired director of building control and was in his time responsible for several ground safety certificates of Championship and Premier League clubs. Including working with police and the fire authorities. (I'm not putting the specific details on which clubs).

What will ultimately determine the upper capacity from "safe standing" without addition to the upper tiers is the ground safety certificate

Capacity Increases won't be granted unless all legal requirements are met an the assessment believes it is truly "safe"

I'm not sure a 0.9:1 capacity (i.e. +10% on 52888 or +5888) would be granted and think upper tier extensions to stands would be needed to truly achieve 60000+. However certain tiers/stands at BMD may be allowed to increase

It's an interesting discussion (and now you can see where some of my legal interest have come from. I get them from my father)

We all want the best for BMD AND EFC. Any criticisms I ever make, is in that light.
