The trouble with grounds that big, stands that big, big covered terrace etc is that the maintenance costs an absolute fortune. I'd prefer to see a tidy little ground like Stanley's, with lots of room for expansion if needed, and the rest of the money spent on getting decent players. Having done it at another club, I can tell you that the fewer the crush barriers that need painting, the better!
Stanley's ground is perfectly up to the job... just wish it had a roof at each end to improve the atmosphere and therefore improve the crowds, which would improve the atmosphere, which would improve the crowds... The roof needn't cover the whole terrace - just covering the middle third would transform the place.
