Currently in my 2nd hour on the phone to the 'ticket office'. Made a terrible mistake in buying a single ticket and then needing two, as one of the kids deciding they can make it. Phoned to ask to swap my single for two seats together. It was like I had asked the lovely work experience 14 year old in the ticket office for the answer to the meaning of life. He struggled to understand it was for the away cup game, then told me it was sold out (despite the new blocks being added and showing over 300 seats on the website). When I explained there were new blocks on sale - he told me they were for West Ham fans. After 45 mins, he transferred me to a 'manager' who made the change in less than 30 seconds....

aww. Maybe he was in training.
 
We don't normally get 222 or 223 above the telly. The back 6 rows or so were also covered with tarpaulin in the initial seasons as the stadium was not allowed to sell all the seats due to its licence, not sure if that has changed as the attendances increased but not been in the back section after the first time as it is another 50 metres from the pitch.
For the Cup game 3 years ago i was in the very last row in the top section. Youre right though, need binnoculars up there.
 
I will be there tho seating on my hands as in the West Ham end with a few mates who are season ticket holders

Carnt wait as I normally make them wait till the very end incase city score one more to make It 6
 
If anyone is looking at hotel/travel options, Gravesend Travelodge is £47 that night. 10 minutes to Stratford Int from Ebbsfleet station & frequent service too, although not the cheapest at £20 return. Alternatively Kings X & Farringdon travel lodge £70 & £60, 10 & 20 mins walk, respectively to St Pancras for the high speed to Stratford.
 
ended up booking travelodge near liverpool street £76 per room 2 in each.
thought more chance of beer after the match round there
