Just fucking stupid, it's like the stewards haven't realised that footy fans are different to athletics fans or people at a concert.
Oh that's fine then...One of the comments said there was a cock up in one of the turnstiles and they had to go through the away end.
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.
Oh that's fine then...
That was their supervisorWhy 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?
This was written by someone on RAWK - It's very easy to walk around inside the ground though, so I'm not sure how they can stop people from mingling. I went for a wander and walked through several blocks and into various sections to try and get a couple of different views. I don't know if this will change for League or Cup games, but no-one checked tickets or if you were in the correct block. I'd love to know if the away section is blocked off, otherwise that could be dangerous, especially if Millwall were ever in town.
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.

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.
That was their supervisor
I thought that, it cant be safe.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.
I agree with this, that stadium is a lesson in how not to do it.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.
