There's been rumours over on cous for the last two years that they are having massive problems with the retractable seating. And no I've just read this:

http://www.claretandhugh.info/os-retractable-seating-to-take-longer-than-expected/

AND THIS!

Their 'state of the art' retractable seating?

Pinched from SSC:

Did the Great Newham family run yesterday and will upload photos to flickr later. I took a lot of photos underneath the East end. Many of the supports are perched on breeze blocks and the scaffolding is held together by cable ties. Quick comical really. Big sign saying 'Remember Cable ties when attaching braces' The thought of the day is 'Let's do it today!'

I have heard a number of sub contractors have walked out on the job and they have bought in experts who are working 12 hour days in an attempt to come up with a better solution.

It is state of the art in that I can't think of many situations where the bodge was a fundamental design strategy - and basically has been throughout the design process of converting that venue. In those terms it will be unique as a stadium, and very fitting for West Ham.

I would jump up and down on their temp stands too much if I were attending a game:

I don't want to get all 'Final Destination' here, but did anyone else watch the video and feel a little shiver when the song playing in the background of the video clip ends with the lyric "if the sky comes falling down for you"...

:eek:

Been trying to wind my West ham mate up about their attempts to sign a world class striker and he isn't biting at all. He genuinely thinks they have a chance of getting a lacazette, batshui, Bacca, icardi type striker. Also thinks the Rodriguez bid is genuine.

Plus how shit does this look!


I went up the orbit the other day and could see onto the concourse, it really does look two bit. Huge shirts with the players names on that look like they are made of plywood by some 6th former made me laugh. So glad ours looks quality. This really looks like shite

I keep presuming also this utter crap from WH is some clever social media trolling trick to keep people talking about them... but that's looking increasingly unlikely by the day.

Whole thing is hilariously awful but from 12 minutes they for some bizarre reason decide it's a great idea to have a skinny white guy in a tailored suit freestyle rapping

West Ham, the gift that keeps on giving


Hahaha thanks for posting :LOL:

No shit but my West Ham supporting mate text me during the rap part asking what I was up to. Thanks to you posting that, I was able to reply 'Just watching the West Ham kit launch on youtube, I'll be round when I've finished laughing'.

Bloody hell that stadium looks dodgy!

Wooden shirts - awful!
Hammers hanging from the ceiling like some kind of racist gathering
Strange plywood looking barriers there for no reason
1990s style food stands
Seating - a fucking hazard to anything!

It has the feeling of a temporary knock up at centre parcs and gives the impression that it's going to fall apart at any time.

I know we moan about our new place taking ages to be built, but you know it's going to be fucking quality once it goes up. West Ham's is held up with dildos and bondage tape!

Not only did they get it wrong, but it's incredibly small-time, the official twitter brandishing Payet as better than some of the best players of all-time, ugh.

Well at least they've done something that their fans will actually like.

The gap between the upper and lower tier is going to look awful. Also It looks so open that come winter it is going to be freezing on the concourse.

One of the comments - "It's amazing how West Ham it feels already"
What, two bob? A bit shit? Thinks it's better than it really is? :LOL:

He mentions in the video that the east stand is going to be moved forwards, but I'm sure it already has been. Unless I'm mistaken? The gaps have been filled by seats, and the stand is physically further forward compared to the rest.
