Yes. It's perfect.Bubble machines
It's like they're a bunch of five year-olds.
It's actually indicative of how desperate they've always been to forge some sort of identity. Such a tragic club.

An average stadium for an average club.
It's not like they are gonna host any champions league matches there. So it fine for them.

Think you're being kind. I'd rather have B'mouth's little stadium than that monstrosity. Totally unsuitable for football. Fans will abandon it unless Spam have an amazing season...which they won't.

Near the beginning of the clip you can see a young kid in a Bournemouth shirt right in front of the camera, his dad has his arm around him, plus there's quite a bit of 'west ham' being shouted so my money's on West Ham v Bournemouth.
There's a very quick shot of what I'm guessing is a security guard who has taken off his hi-vis and has it scrunched up in his hand...wtf is that about?

I'd guess the guy thought something like this: "I'm supposed to break up a fight between these morons on my own? I'm gonna get clattered here. For 6 quid an hour? Fuck that. I only came to tell people to sit down."

Roma do indeed - and there is in fact a West Ham shop in Rome. I shit you not. Spat at the window and rubbed my balls on it's Window ledge.
and left a trail of Diarrhea from the doorstep to a West ham kit I left in the gutter nearby.
ruined my day In Rome.

Think if anything it highlights the clubs strong position of "we'll take it only if we can rip it down and build a stadium suitable for football".
From my perspective the OS was always a non-starter as we were going to rip it down. The only reasons we got involved were
- Put pressure on David Lammy & Boris to cut us a good deal to stay in Tottenham
- Make sure West Ham have some competition so they don't steamroll negotiations (that turned out well
)

For a different perspective a West Ham season ticket holder at work was saying that the ground was better than he thought it was going to be. He took his kids with him and he said from a parents perspective it's much better as there's loads of space inside the ground for them to run around, loads of places to get food and drink, the transport links were much better, the match tickets and subsidized trains were cheaper and you weren't squeezed into the stadium and being pushed and shoved around. He said the seats were obviously further away, but that they were comparable to parts of the Emirates - obviously that's going to depend on where he's sitting though. He also said the atmosphere was less intimidating, as fans had spread out, but he thought that would pick up as fans got used to their new surroundings.
It'll be interesting to see what he thinks in six months time.

I actually disagree with this bit. The Olympic Stadium is just a white elephant, a useless once-in-50 year use waste of resource. Crystal Palace served UK athletics just fine, Coe is clinging on to what was a successful games but we need to move on.
There was definitely corruption in the bid but its not as bad for the tax payers as some make out. If it wasn't for them, the stadium would be gathering dust. Our bid for the site was better, but unrealistic because Coe is still high off the 2012 buzz and lacks the perspective needed to admit that the UK doesn't need a large capacity athletics arena.
I love that at some point in the future, someone will unpeel all of the West ham stickers, take down all their tacky bits of canvas, chuck out their bolt on seating and let the stadium serve it's true purpose again. Could you imagine that happening to WHL? It would be soul destroying.
The only winners here are the owners, who are laughing their heads off. The fans are still in the honeymoon period, I've heard the phrase 'but it doesn't feel like home yet' anxiously tagged onto the end of any early optimism. It will never feel like home because it's already home to a completely different sport.

I was such an advocate of Stratford - but I suppose that was with a brand new stadium because it was just blatantly obvious that they couldn't convert it successfully.
No matter the spin on the London Stadium, I would be absolutely outraged if New WHL resembles anything like that. Spurs now have a couple of libraries worth of "how not to do it" photos. I know "lessons have been learned" is a phrase regularly ridiculed in the Transfer Forums, but there is so much here to learn from.
Absolutely disgraceful for their fans.
Absolutely delightful for me and my hatred of all things West Ham.
HA.

West Ham were originally going to buy it at a much reduced rate. Our involvement ensured that West Ham couldn't buy it and do what ever they wanted with it. As such we ensured that they were stuck with what they have now.Think if anything it highlights the clubs strong position of "we'll take it only if we can rip it down and build a stadium suitable for football".

Why is that guy shouting "Security, do your fucking job"? There's what, two security guards? And 15 fans kicking off? What does that guy expect the two security guards to do? Hulk smash them?
