Fair play, we can't knock 'em for that.
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:

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.
I would jump up and down on their temp stands too much if I were attending a game:
Plus how shit does this look!
Plus how shit does this look!
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
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!
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?
