It's a shame that consideration couldn't be given to some standing areas, but I would imagine that this would come down to accountability and identification.

If they would bring standing back their would be no need to leave Goodison since the capacity is a few short of 78,000 (14th February 1953) . I know since I was one of them. So you can decide your capacity by the percentage of those standing verses those seated. Let's assume that if every one was standing the capacity is 80,000 and if all seated 40,000 then if you eliminate a seat two could stand in there place. So if half stand and half are sitting then the capacity is 60,000. Spend some money on getting Goodison up to fire, health, etc. standards, throw out half the seats, bring back the footy buses and voila it's done.
Obviously will not happen for many obvious reasons but as an old timer I would love to see it happen.

On of the issues with Goodison is the lack of corporate boxes which really bring in the money too.
