Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

How come we were told from day one that the track had to stay and now Spuds seem to be getting away with with bidding and not having a track... If it was a requirement then should their bid be allowed?? Where is the level playing field (no pun intended) I truly believe that if Spuds did win it West ...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

I really do now think that the Spuds want the OS. It would save them £100s of millions. What would it do to us long term being in our manor.... I dread to think. If they get it while not having track then I think West Ham would be able to go to court as we have been told all along that the track has...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

I admire your stamina!! I expressed my support for the move and had a very small amount of what you have had t put up with and found it highly amusing!! I honestly believe that there are many more supporters of the move than it looks especially if you visit other forums but the silent majority / min...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

So far everybody who i've talked to the OS about is against it, and rightfully so. Gawd im going to miss the Boleyn. Strange how things go as everybody I talk to about it is in favour, like myself, and cannot wait to get there!! :eh: Do miss the old Boleyn now, but will not miss it as it is these d...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

And the gap between the pitch and the seats on the sides looks no more than the massive gaps that are now at the Boleyn.
Near the corners may even be slightly less!! :think:

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

I believe this stadium has the retractable seating that should have been fitted in the Olympic stadium if the individuals running the project had any sense.....

WHY THIS WAS NOT SORTED AT OS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I DO NOT KNOW....

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

The photos from the TV are taken with a wide angle lense and are taken from outside and above the ground as a triangular floodlight is in the top one. I have see many of photos of grounds taken withh these lenses even without running tracks and wide angle lenses allways make the pitch look miles awa...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

Possibly got the actual trip to hell still to come........ :wink: Was an easy trip to UP in the 1960s and 70s partially because I was LOT younger. Why have I been to upton park so many times?? because I am a loyal supporter I suppose? Not been to Upton park 1000 times as many games away etc..... Sor...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

Hammers 1954

Spot on with your views. Just what I was trying to say!! :think:
I feel a move to Stratford is needed even if a purpose built stadium is the ultimate goal at some time in the future?

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

In response to Pop Robson's comments about Stratford. I cannot see it taking an hour to get into Stratford Station which is how long it takes to get into Upton Park station these days!! Stratford has British Rail, Central line, Light Railway and the Jubilee line which is way more than Upton Park Sta...

Re: Stratford 2012: the running track [POLL]

I am a yes voter for a couple of reasons,1. transport links, I am fed up with traffic, parking hassle, and if I go by train it is now close to an hour to get into the station if I leave at the final whistle. 2. We need to have a larger stadium, larger income to move forward to the next level as a cl...
