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.

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.

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.

and left a trail of Diarrhea from the doorstep to a West ham kit I left in the gutter nearby.

Classy old chap. Very classy :pompous:

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.

What did hesay about it being a football stadium?

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.
I agree with this, that stadium is a lesson in how not to do it.
