It took us years to get over Maine road and we moved to a stadium much more suited for football. I have spent hours researching West Hams new ground and it is the next stadia de alpi. West Ham will be bottom half this season and will loose 6 plus games at home in my opinion. It is soulless and a poorly thought out idea. The distance between row 1 and the pitch is huge. The gap between the Lowe tier and tier 2 is huge. Generations of West Ham fans have grown up on green street pre match pubs. This will kill them. I might be wrong but let's see. Think it will get that bad it will cause Brady and co to sell up.

Was thinking this morning if they couldn't have made the bottom tier rectangular at the front to go flush with the pitch and oval at the back to match the second tier if that makes sense as its only scaffolding poles ?

Yes know what you mean but the rake of seats wouldn't work. A complete joke how much money has been spent on the conversion??​

I remember my Bolton fan mate saying it will take us a few years to call COMS home and he was right, only just got there after all these years.
 
The problem is that as soon as they lose a couple of home games 'it's the stadium's fault' & as soon as the crowd goes quiet 'it's the stadium's fault'.

Exactly the same happened to us, although at least our place was a purpose built football stadium.

All the flaws of the London Stadium will become bigger as time passes & the novelty wears away.

Would it not work ? But the gap between the scaffolding would just have been bigger.
They could of just used bigger canvas sheets.
Convinced after seeing it this morning some pissed up knob will try walking across it or fall through it

Can't wait for the capacity to be 60000 plus. Have heard positive things about more 299 season tickets and very much a non corporate approach to the north end. Really hope so.

How can you say that when they are spending money putting canvas covers between the second tier and scaffolding stand .also putting a bit of astro turf over the running track.just read a post on kumb why carnt they use proper grass ffs.
Like how they are going on about the standing when I guess its probably the only way they can see the pitch

Because it is an Athletic stadium - need the track for next year World Athletic Championships.

Don't think you will be far off with that. They want it full and don't be surprised to see some subtle differences to the south stand. Text someone working on it tonight and he said it's slightly different to the south. I will post more on it tommorrow when I have spoken to him.

I thought when they signed the stadium deal, they couldn't sell the club for ten years. Could be wrong though WW.

Maybe an idea we can try at the etihad letting home fans walk though the away fans to get to their seats ?

Can believe this, surely they wouldn't get a health a safety certificate for this. All grounds need to provide a segregated area for away fans, the more I see and hear about this stadium shows how unsuitable designed it is for football. They have at least broken two rules for ground regulations, no Segregation of fans and not providing seats for all fans who purchased tickets. Would appear to me the Brady Bunch are just interested in getting in the money from the extra capacity and all the bull shit about providing a home that West Ham can be proud of is just flannel. The whole ground was never designed for footie and think more problems will occur during the season. Loads of West Hams have slagged it off on twitter a few bad results and in will be bring back Upton Park. How lucky we are to have our owners don't sell the fans a white elephant all their promisis have been met and backed by money that lot at West Ham are trying to act big but no real financial clout all their eggs in one basket pack the fans in a shit hole and pretend it's all about them agree with Worsley think it will go tits up pretty quick. What a set of twats they are selling seats that wouldn't be ready for the start of the stadium. Really thing the Premier League or the FA should be asking questions about the above points.
