The Olympic Stadium

[Ant]

I think its probably the nicest looking stadium in the country. West Ham have played an absolute blinder

 

Discuss.

[Gethin]

The raking of the stands is too shallow (see also lower tier at the Millenium/Principality Stadium) and it'll lead to a s***ter atmosphere at West Ham games.

[Jarg Armani]

They certainly have. They are one to watch now.

 

We'll be OK with our new stand though.

[Cobs]

I wish we could have a running track round our pitch. f*** you FSG!

[Benzo-13]

I wish we could have a running track round our pitch. f*** you FSG!

For that reason alone it's s***.

Juventus knocked theirs down because of that.

[Murphman]

A West Ham fan of my acquaintance is now claiming they are the second biggest club in the country as only Man Utd have more season ticket holders. I've always had a soft spot for West Ham but a few of their fans are getting uppity since they had a reasonable season last year, now this, he forgot to mention a season ticket is about three quid...

[Stevie H]

they are tory b*stards. f*** them.

[kop205]

I've always had a soft spot for West Ham

 

Quite a few people say this.

 

I can't f***ing stand them, never have been able to. Can think of loads of reasons to hate them - their owners, their fans (especially their celebrity ones). Well, two reasons anyway.

 

As per the stadium, yeah its got a running track but the point isn't the atmosphere is that, like City, they have got a big stadium for f*** all. Without that, City would never be where they are now and so I agree that West Ham are one to watch.

[Jarg Armani]

Those poor young fans able to access cheap season tickets, they'll have to peer over a running track.

[Tones]

Would not want a football stadium with a running track around it

I wouldn't either. It's not a deal breaker though, like having enough seats and allowing a new generation to get in are.

[Cam]

their fans are getting uppity

Uppity Park. Ahahahahaha.

[Hassony]

Small club, having a big stadium won't change that

 

Hope they get relegated

I hope you laughed in his face

[Murphman]

I hope you laughed in his face

 

He's about 18 stone of solid muscle, I laughed when he wasn't looking.

Very similar territory to ours, lived in the shadows of richer clubs, have a history of decent football (apart from Fat Sam's era) and Bobby Moore. Throw in the craic we all had in Cardiff and their general disposition towards Liverpool when compared to Chelsea  then yeah, I quite like them. Or did...

[muleskinner]

Horrible Essex c****.

[Cobs]

I've stood amongst their lot on the Anny Road end.

 

Bunch of c****

[John am Rhein]

Rumour has it the're a bunch of irons

[PhilM]

I can't see past the corrupt b*****dry that got them the stadium in the first place. They're an average person driving their mate's flash car. Or motah as they'd probably call it.

[Maldini]

The seats are too far from the pitch, the atmosphere will be s***. It's not a football stadium.

[Barnesy_10]

I was on the middle tier at Wembley for the Barca game and felt too far from the action... Much prefer Anfield though would be interested in watching a match from the new section of the main stand

[Sion]

He's about 18 stone of solid muscle, I laughed when he wasn't looking.

How is that similar to us? They're complete no marks.

 

Their biggest achievement is that they had a few players win the world cup 50 years ago.

 

They even have a statue of it outside the ground.

Heart of gold, wouldn't hurt a fly etc. etc.

 

Just kidding Murph

'Lived in the shadows of richer clubs'

 

WTF is that about?

[allez les rouges]

The lower tier seats are moveable and will be closer to the pitch so there is no running track. However from what I have seen it seems comparable to arsenal in terms of distance. Plus there is a massive gap between the lower tier and the tier above on match day to take into account the moved seats. It looks horrible
