Can't see the safety certificate really being a problem, tbh. More likely, in the case of any specific problem they'd just reduce the capacity, which, from a current base of over 26k gives us a bit of scope.
I'm not so sure. I took a few photos around the ground yesterday just in case we are moving on. It was clear to me that apart from the obvious things like the crumbing touchdown bar and other prefab buildings (which must be close to being unsafe) the steel crush barriers are looking very rusty in places and the fixings to the old concrete terracing look rather old.
I suspect fixing those would cost a bit even if they just did the popular side. Then there's the stand roof which used to need regular maintenance. If that became an issue we'd lose 5k seats almost immediately.
Constantly reducing the capacity doesn't really solve the problem, it just puts it off. The place has a lot of history but like Fartown it's had its day. I remember a few trips there when weeds were growing on the terraces.
