First feedback from West Ham fans is not great.

Looking at the photos from today's game. Dear god. What an horrendous stadium.
I'm not sure what is worse, the view from tier two or The cheapo scaffold style seating for the lower tier. Puts what we've done at our ground into perspective.
Mate, most of those comments are from Spurs fans taking the piss!
Always important to consider the facts and review what is being said rather than take the headline and words at face value.
Some of those seats arent even on sale and the pics were taken as a wind up, such as that one with the couple not being able to see the pitch. They're in the lower athletics seats, but there's a football tier in front of them closer to the pitch.
It's all about opinions, I get that. But I'm looking at the bigger picture, so to speak. if you think that a bridge to get to scaffolded seats leaving a 15-20m gap to the next tier that is still miles away from the pitch constitutes a decent football stadium, fair play to you pal.
I never said that. I'm saying that the article you posted was crap and had words (which you repeated) that were not true or accurate.
All the West Ham comments on Twitter are really positive, despite you saying 'feedback from West Ham fans not great' while linking to comments from Spurs fans.
I don't know why you're getting you're knickers in a twist, you sound like a weird undercover West Ham employee. Take the first sentence away from my post if it makes you happy. The rest is my opinion going off the photographs I have viewed with my own eyes. If other people tend agree with that, it's not my fault. it's called a consensus.

The reality of it is quite simple: West Ham have been given the stadium for next to nothing, it's an athletics stadium that was never built to be a football stadium. West Ham can now cram 60k fans into it an increase of 25k on Upton Park which equals more money: Gold, Sullivan and Brady are business people who don't really care that the stadium will never look like a purpose built football stadium, they have tried to convince the fans that it will be great and push the club to the next level which wih increased revenue it might, however, the fact are: The sight lines are not great for football viewing and the entire lower tier is made up of temporary seating. West Ham fan will be the ones who decide if it's ok, personally I think they have to make do with it as they were never going to generate the finances to build their own state of the art football stadium as they are not as big a club as Spurs, Arsenal or Chelsea and never will be. Not to sure that it will be full every game if no success follows in a couple of years, remember our owners have done every thing they said they would since their take over but it's taken a lot more that just movIng to a bigger ground to increase match day revenue that has cost the West Ham owners nothing out of their own pockets.
