Thanks for the reply, seems longer then I expected but then what the hell do I know about reconstructing stadiums. :)

I can't tell you which one but that is the advice of a leading stadium contractor.

Standing at Anfield is not going to happen any time soon.
There are too many people dead-set against it, and for the very best of reasons.
Whatever the safety situation, even if it is safer than current arrangements, you are simply not going to convince a lot of these people, and, in my opinion, it isn't really right to even try and do so.
If it happens at every other ground in the league, then its a possibility, but Liverpool simply cannot be at the forefront of this.

I agree that it is not right to think about convincing anyone who has lost someone and is completely against it. I would never try. There's nothing you could say that will make it any better.
I don't think we can piggy-back anyone else's direction. This club is about the fans and the ordinary fans and seating for all is taking the game away from those fans. This is something this club should lead on.
But the choice is being withheld from us - not for those 'good reasons', not out of respect, not for safety - but for the good reason of controlling hooliganism. As I said, at the time it was either seating or ID cards. In that sense, they're one and the same. But now, there's a better way.
Standing didn't cause Hillsborough. You, me and the guy standing next to me didn't cause Hillsborough. We all know what did. To suggest otherwise only supports those who think they really know what the 'real' cause was.
Outside of our football bubble, there's plenty Bernard Ingham's around believe you me.

pretty much. increasing capacity to 60,000 should make cheaper seats in the long term hopefully.
