Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Suggestion on Twitter that the club are (perhaps unsurprisingly) looking to join Southampton, Bournemouth, Wolves, and I think Tottenham, Chelsea, Man City, and Watford, in having a pre match light show... I’m not sure that will go well with our fan base.

Did Bournemouth do one this season when we were there, can't say I noticed

[rciron]

Totally agree.

I've always used other (much quicker) routes to get back to trains etc but I got caught in this clusterf@ck after the Leicester game... Never again.

FWIW it seemed that this was the tourists favourite route because it was full of them. They obviously dont mind being penned in like sheep.....

However, I doubt the club give a **** about 'their customers' standing in the cold and wet after the game because theyve already taken the money.

Still it was 'the most successful move in PL history'.........

With fantastic transport links

Another thing when did West Ham put up with being directed by kids and told to stand still every 100 yards.

I know its trivial but it really does **** me off and after we have watched what we have this year I've finally had enough of it and I prefer to get home quicker.

You don't have to put up with it.

After a match earlier in the season we all got held up. I marched to the front, told them I had a train to catch and just pushed through. They did nothing. Because in reality they can't do anything.

It was daytime this season. I seem to recall it happening there, I think possibly the year Payet and Valencia both scored free kicks.

With the loss of another £28m to the tax payer, how much longer can the London Stadium be funded. Surely there will be someone looking into the viability of this chaotic mess, if this happens where does it leave West Ham because everyone outside of this club must be wondering what is going on. I can’t see how this can continue and where our long term future lies. P.S NICE FOOTBALL STADIUM BRENTFORD

I think they should tear up the contract, pay us off, and tell us to foxtrot oscar.

Even if West Ham were gifted (ha) the stadium just to get stop the loss to the tax payer, meaning it was the clubs stadium to do with as it sees fit. There is simply no business model (other than uber expensive tickets) that will jusity any further improvements. Its sells out. We are stuck with it bar some minor cosmetic changes.

Honestly, those Stop Go signs do my nut. Imagine them on Green Street?

To be fair, going back to Upton Park Station we were corralled down Queens Road and had a long stop/start trek back as the Police controlled access to the Station according to H&S. Also, on many occasions, I recall the Police Horses being used to coral supporters. I admit it looks a bit naff but similar crowd management techniques/obstacles are used at most large sporting venues at or near the transport links.

Bit different when the police would block entries to that path.

Now it's spotty teenagers with lollipop signs

Seen that, loads of them bragging on social media.

Planning to get into the away end.

They're good at that, aren't they..

[Georgee Paris]

Isn’t that the away bit anyway?

[Coops]

Isn’t that the away bit anyway?

No, 217 is next to the away fans.
The club should do something about this.

[Georgee Paris]

I’m 113/4 next to the away fans on the left looking at the goal so that must be right on the opposite corner (in the top tier)

[Heysel76]

Makes a change for them to pay!

[Wembley1966]

^^^ And having to pay £65 for a band 4 instead of the £30 away price.

[S-H]

Some of the idiots are posting confirmation of purchase, along with seat numbers.
