I am stating here why I am reverting the anonymous user's edits to stadium titles. I am reverting to the title on the article on The Fans' Stadium in order to place it in line with all other football stadiums. In all other cases where a name has been given for sponsorship or similar reasons, its entry has been placed in article under that name.
See also: Arsenal Stadium, known almost universally as Highbury, Bradford & Bingley Stadium known by fans and pundits alike by its former Valley Parade, the list goes on and on. Besides this The Fans' Stadium - Kingsmeadow isn't an appropriate title for an article given that it does not follow the usual naming terms, The Fans' Stadium (Kingsmeadow) would be far more appropriate, but still incorrect given that the official title is the Fans' Stadium, whether it is known to most fans as Kingsmeadow or not is unimportant given that in every other case the article has been named for the official title.

The official Shay Stadium website quotes the capacity at currently just 6,561. http://www.shaystadium.co.uk/shaystadium/fac1.shtml
These figures are taken from the clubs' articles. I know not all these have been included on the main table. Clubs are ordered by division and then by capacity.

It is becoming clearer to me that we should limit the table to only those stadia that have at least 5,000 seated capacity. There is better documentation of that, the capacity for stadia that have standing terraces or slopped hills is an estimate at best and there does not seem to be any real documentation. -- Trödel 00:06, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
I don't see the benefit of having overall rank - it adds nothing and doesn't allow any kind of additional sorting, etc. I'm removing -- Trödel 17:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
The EFL website removed all the team information (maybe they'll add it back after they update for this year <crosses fingers> but I doubt they will. So we no longer have a good source for EFL teams capacity. And the capacities generally vary from year to year because of small upgrades, fire code enhancements, upgraded seats/suites, etc. The stadium websites are all old, and the information on Wikipedia is generally from fans who post the best number they've seen regardless of whether it is currently accurate. Any help finding a source would be appreciated! -- Trödel 20:19, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
