I agree 100% re the Pop Side. If the new regime are actually serious about expanding the capacity of EP, then the only really usable space of any size within the current boundaries of the ground is that occupied by the present Pop Side concourse. Put seats, boxes and a proper covered concourse in that area and you could retain the existing seating deck and convert that to safe standing. Sounds good, but even that would involve a lot of digging out (behind the current seated area) for foundations: the terrace and concourse are essentially just high banks composed of earth, ashes, rubble and God knows what other rubbish, so structurally not exactly reliable...
