Maybe for me, I come from a country which doesn't a venue that is purpose build for football. All of the stadiums we have for league matches or international matches have a running track. So I am used to being far away even with decent seats. Very few countries have the resources to have arenas built for just one sport.

It's just like a crap hotel room. U paid for it, so after awhile. U will get used to it. And eventually u might even start to feel likes it's home.
This is true but in English football, one thing that is a constant is that the stands will always be close to the pitch and the atmosphere will be felt. When I was watching on tv, I felt like I was watching a pre season friendly in some eastern European country on a one off makeshift football pitch. Everything from the look of the game, to the atmosphere, to the stadium all screamed friendly. The Premier League will suffer a bit until West Ham realize they've fucked up massively and build a football-specific stadium or move back into Boelyn(unless they've already knocked it down) or until West Ham get relegated. West Ham have the money for a football-specific stadium, unlike the other countries where clubs and gov't alike do not.

I can see this ground going 2 ways,

1. We end up soo angry as a fan base because of the boards lies and other clubs jokes that the ground ends up getting run down/ruined

2. We obey the modern day football rules and turn into 'The emirates'

Kumb is going to turn into a proper goldmine isn't it. :D

The owners will have give tickets with an extra bribe soon, free food, something like that.
The indigenous folk of E.15 really ain't interested in football.

Yeah but apparently the beer is madly overpriced there as well. A West Ham fan at the game said
£5 for a beer and £5 for a burger, unfortunately that fits with London prices. I think we'll be seeing the same once our place is built and open. Wembley is already a right rip off.
