Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

[Pop Robson]

Welcome to West Ham London

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated

[Coops]

So this is a video of former mayor Ken Livingstone being stopped in Westfield for filming without pemission.

Listen to what he says at about 1:10.

It seems as though Westfield are supposed to allow the thoroughfare between the stadium and the shopping centre to remain open.

Heineken have the pourage rights at the Stadium and there's now 2 kiosks selling Lagunitas - by 144 and the STB screen. Even better on Saturday it was only £3 a pint - I did miss the last 10 minutes of the first half for the first time ever and went and had a few more which cheered me up slightly! Will also be £3 a pint for the Arsenal match - you need a voucher from the guys handing them out in front of the kiosk (they'll give you as many as you want):

Good news. The wi-fi worked like a dream.

The bad news. I got the notification it was available just after they scored their second. It allowed those who so wanted to freely express the dismay of the on pitch shenanigans, to freely vent their spleens online without bring held back by lack of signal.

Next level wi-fi. Thank god we moved.

Just out of interest... Should the inevitable happen and we go down what is the capacity of the lower tiers? Can't see them opening the whole stadium in the Championship

'Best Stadium In The Championship'.
Well ok, not the best stadium..

Very interesting but they'll probably use public safety and crowd control etc to get round it

Those coppers were clueless,

20,758 in pitch sports mode (i.e. with the temporary seats in place). There's also an additional 253 in the Billy Bonds Stand infill between the upper and lower tiers and 1,416 in the West Stand middle.

Isn't it half price rent if we go down

So about £50k per game, massive losses for the operator as I bet they have to open the whole stadium etc etc

Brady will have done them up like a kipper on the contract

Last 2 games there has been chaos at Hackney Wick with staff knowing next to nothing. Really makes the day out even worse

I used to live in Hackney Wick. It has always been a local station on the North London line. It was never dreamed that it would have to cope with hundreds of people at a time, let alone thousands.

Really? There's my wish of the owners being ****ed then?

Saw a South Korea flag come out in the home end yesterday when Son scored.

Must of saw at least 10 South Koreans near me yesterday no doubt was all supporting us and not son they did seem to love he’s goal though

Will it be cheaper season tickets though?
Whoever it was that went up against Brady, must ever since, have been having some very angry nightmares about her. They were indeed, done up like a kipper.
Probably got a voodoo doll of her now, as well..

This Saturday versus Spurs it was officially a broken down train, no trains after the game. I walked over Victoria Park to Bethnal Green station. Five minutes away I saw a train heading towards Hackney Wick and Stratford, so not sure if if cleared soon after, or it was out of service.

The Newcastle game the line was down further west of Highbury and Islington. Surprised to find it was still down after the game. Would be nice if issues were either announced or shown on the big screens to help avoid confusion and frustration.

STs will be like when we went down in 2003

Same price but 4 extra games for the money

Mine worked fine, guy next to me could not connect. Did say the wi fi was still being trialled on the big screens.

Every cloud!

All those thousands left on the waiting list will be able to nab a season ticket no problem . Will the club be trumpeting the worst season ticket renewal rate ever?

Blinding. Imagine going to that hole for the joy of watching Peterborough. :lol: :lol:
