The London Stadium has reached the final stage of Stadium Of The Year 2016, a worldwide competition aimed at selecting the best new venues opened over the past 12 months.

The multi-purpose stadium in the Stratford Olympic Park has reached the final 10 from a long list of 29 modern stadia. The winner, to be revealed on March 6, will be judged by a prestige jury of five accomplished architects from around the world.



The top 10 is:
Allianz Stadion, Vienna
Dacia Arena, Udine
Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens
London Stadium, London
Medical Park Arena, Trabzon
Sivas Arena, Sivas
Stadion FK Krasnodar, Krasnodar
Stadion Miejski, Bielsko-Biala
Vodafone Arena, Istanbul

The result of this is going to be announced tomorrow. There are two awards, a jury prize and an award from the public vote. Apparently there have been 82,826 votes cast. The London Stadium has a capacity of 66,000. It will be interesting to find out how many of their own fans have actually voted for their stadium.

Unless there's a third award for 'Most creative use of cable ties/breeze blocks/greengrocers carpet'...then i dont think they stand a chance.

3. But i wouldn't call them fans.

They better f*&king turn up tonight..

They won't.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

They won't.

Then Carroll had better at least score a header (8/1) or Snodgrass should at least try to score from outside the box (16/1)

 

[montylynch]

Can't see anything other than them rolling over and having their bellies tickled.

If we can't get a West Ham win, the most i can hope for is a darn good arse kicking. 7 or 8 nil will, for me, be suitably embarrassing.

Not bad odds but I prefer these: Carroll to dislocate an ankle walking from the dressing room to the pitch (2-1) or Snodgrass to build a tunnel from his jail cell to the centre circle (20-1).

From Jacob Steinberg on the Guardian's MbM of today's game:

There will be three minutes of added time, meaning there’s enough time for me to calmly note that the London Stadium is a sick joke.

In the seven years since David Sullivan and David Gold took charge, the club have signed 32 strikers who have managed 128 goals in 643 games

 

[SugarRay]

Just a pointless football club

They used to be good for at least a couple of good results against the big sides at home but since they moved to the OS it's become one of the easiest away games. I'll be very disappointed if we don't thrash them.

This article isn't really about strikers in the authors eyes. This is about how Sullivan and gold want to out levy levy but really can't.

We won't.

I'll confess I thought Bilic was going to be properly found out at WH as a bullshit artist and flake.

As it turns out, I think he's done well in - for various reasons - pretty tricky circumstances. The botched and stressful stadium move, the weirdo owners, the misfiring star players, the slew of key injuries he had over last year or so. He's navigated all that way better than I thought he would, and kept WH's heads above water. I think there was a recipe for disaster there, and he's managed to steer them clear of it, at least for now. Not bad IMO.

The state of their pitch as well. The ball just wouldn't roll.

We will struggle on that pitch.

Isn't that planned
