Can’t see it. No matter how shit West Ham are Southampton and Stoke are worse. Unless Hughes can light a rocket up Southampton’s arse, but I reckon it’s too late.

Southampton have been seriously under achieving and having a new voice to listen to can be the tonic that they need.

Hope you’re right. They have also sold their best defender and I think Austin is still out injured isn’t he?

Exactly. There is simply too much space and different sections in which fans can find a way to get on the pitch.

Except at wembley, would be difficult to make it over those metal barriers!

West Hams next five games are huge for them. 2 x relegation 6 pointers and 3 x top six teams

# Southampton
# Chelsea
# Stoke
# Arsenal
# Man City

I'd love it if they got relegated! I could honestly see it all going very very wrong.

Then Leicester and Everton If they lose against Southampton I think they'll go down.

Southampton are worse then west ham at the moment, however could the new manager have an immediate lift and sort then out?

coys200 · Mar 17, 2018

Player for player you’d take more Southampton than West Ham in a combined xi. As said if they lose not only are they down imo but they will probably burn the stadium down as well. Don’t care how much more security they have the place is impossible to police.

TBH I'm disappointed at every away player who's scored at the Wok this season, not one of them has done the mobot or the usain 'bolt' celebration after scoring.
They've really missed a trick, It's just screaming out for it, the West Ham fans would be double furious.
I'd run a full lap of the running track doing it if I had the chance.

I'd like to see someone score, then pretend to do the 100 meters along the side line, with a little dip to get over the line

Seems easy enough to get on the pitch, you could probably try it next week...

Weren't Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles both in that side? You could just as easily argue Man Utd won the WC. Except they're not a small time outfit.

Exactly. No need to clutch at straws and claim trophies by proxy when you've genuinely won some fucking trophies

Yeah in hindsight I probably couldn't, id need one of those weird superhuman occurrences like when an old woman lifts a car off a child.

Well I reckon if we win the cup this year that should be the occurrence in fact I will join you along with 62,000 other spurs fans

Even Daniel Levy sent me a message of good luck from the Bahamas and I will certainly raise a glass to him today

Heehee.... Yeah... Good luck.

A lot of West Ham fans are clinging to the hope that either GSB or a rich Chinese / Arab consortium will one day modify the stadium. Can you wise people, confirms few things for me please:
1) is it Premier League rules that fans must be covered by a roof? I thought that was true but couldn’t find any evidence. If it is true, it means it’s impossible to move the seats closer to the pitch without extending the roof which I guess is either very expensive or impossible.
2) Didn’t Levy ensure that the running track had to stay for 99 years? Few journalists or people on kumb seem to mention this. If there is a legal requirement in place, do you think it would stand up against public pressure?
3) am I right in thinking that the council pay for some level of security ( and police?) but if WH want more they have to pay for it?
4) wasn’t the original structure only designed to last ~20years?

Short term, the stadium is a disaster for WH and the tax payers and the only benefit is to GSB and this thread. I just can’t work out how this can be resolved in the longer term. Boris and co gave WH just a stupidly cheap rent that it is costing the government millions especially as the cost to change the seats has ~quadrupled. I don’t know if the WH rent is linked to inflation or not. If they get relegated, then crowds will drop to ~25k. Do they still need to keep changing the seats? Then the government will lose more money as the rent decreases. Plus there is the fact that if the stadium was originally built as a temporary structure, then the maintenance costs will become horrific. Then there will be a lot of public pressure to do change something. I can see GSB being able to buy the stadium on the cheap at some point in the future. This makes the legal issue of the running track crucial. The good thing is than Khan is not a big fan of Brady (donating to the the Tory party is looking less smart now) - I just don’t know how much room he has to manoeuvre with their contract with WH an where he can squeeze them.
