M8 just sent me this pic from his concrete seat. I think there is a pitch in it somewhere.

Wow, that is really really grim.

Thats the worst view I have seen yet, it would be horrible to have to watch football at a game from that kind of distance. It would be hard to see player numbers from that view!

The green plastic sheeting was awful on Sunday, not to mention dangerous - I saw at least 3 cameramen slip on it when they turned the bubble machines on pre match.

I've honestly never understood this romanticism the media has with West Ham. I've never given the remotest shit about them, in the same way I'm unconcerned about, I don't know... Plymouth Argyle. Never even saw a West Ham fan until I moved to London, and they just seem so appallingly cringeworthy.

They piss me off for robbing the public and a community of what was supposed to be a world class athletics venue, and sporting legacy. Why on earth should they get to do that? And whats worse they've made a fucking pigs ear of it.

Horrible club.

Most football journalists are illiterate, cross-eyed morons.

There's a lot of crossover between their gene pools, hence the romanticism - they're protecting their own kind.

Is actually quite sad seeing the West Ham fans on TV desperately trying to convince themselves that they like the new stadium. Deep down they know it is terrible and have been conned by the owners. I predict that in 10 years they will be looking to move back to a smaller proper football stadium.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they have a similar experience to Darlington, albeit on a higher level. They had a crooked owner in George Reynolds who built them a bonkers 20k seater stadium (for a club with a 2500 average attendance), then sold the club a year or two later. After a few seasons of playing in a near empty stadium they unsurprisingly couldn't sustain it, dropped out of the league, and ended up selling the stadium to the Rugby club.

Darlington are now somewhere in the wilds of the football league pyramid, and play their games on a local sports field.

West Ham want to be careful. Its so obvious their owners are bent as nine bob notes and just want to attract some kind of foreign billionaire to invest (hence all the "London" stuff), make their killing and then fuck off. They've done so much of this on the cheap, probably thinking that whoever buys the club can worry about retractable seating and all that palaver. It's a massive con job, and they've clearly got some peers and OC people in on it to ensure they get the stadium on the cheap, for a share of however many millions they're hoping to get out of some mug from China.

Fans are being utterly shafted if you ask me, and all that Olympic legacy from 2012 gets shat all over.

How the fuck have they let opposing fans get to each other literally outside the ground?
Two security guards and not a copper in sight.
Can you imagine the mess if that was vs us or Chelsea?

How did they get a Health & Safety certificate if there were rows without seats!?
Surely the PL & the council need to be investigating.
Force them to play behind closed doors until all issues are resolved.
