	ToffeeWeb - The Club - Goodison Park - History
		Goodison Park thereby became the only ground in Britain to have four double-decker stands and was newly affirmed as the most advanced stadium in Britain.
		Unfortunately, because of the angle of Goodison Road, at the end closest to the Park End the back wall angles in towards the pitch, and creates the illusion that the stand is somehow falling down, because the top tier of seats falls away, row by row, into the corner in a most alarming way.
		Goodison Park still has all the hallmarks of a fine stadium, and although it can no longer claim to be the most advanced in the country it is certainly one of the best equipped.
