Yes they dont have the global reach and appeal of say Liverpool or Man Utd ect but they still are a massive club in the north west of England, I go down to Chester and north Wales quite often and the numbers that follow the Toffees is remarkable really.
They would comfortably fill 52,000 for most if not all Premiership games and I fully get why most Everton fans feel that 60,000 should be the preferred capacity.
What I would say that the stadium will look amazing just like Spurs but it will have a breathtaking and iconic setting in the World Heritage Site waterfront. This will instantly mark it out in world football.
It's going to be interesting for all football fans if the plan around safe standing that the board has comes to fruition. The initial build would be 52,000 seats but it will be designed in a way so that should the law permit, then it could be reconfigured to include a vast terrace area which would raise capacity to 60,000, a bit like what happens at Dortmunds ground when they covert it from a Champions League venue to a Bundesliga ground of 80,000.
