Was that not one of the findings that came out of the Hillsborough Enquiry. Im not comparing the pens at Hillsborough to the lower deck of the south stand, but surely the principal would be the same. Was it not stated that had police or stewards been in a position to stop access to the pen where most of the deaths occured that maybe not as many fans would have walked/ran in and made things more crowded when the inevitable happened. perhaps more robust stewarding at the top of the stairwells would have stopped fans from the upper tier coming down. Bottom line is if something had happened and people had been hurt or killed, then who would get the blame. The club would. Especially when it was evident to everyone not in the stand that you couldnt see the stairs for fans. So how a certain invidual couldnt see that lower deck was definitely overcrowded beats me.
