Fans fighting on the platforms at Stratford last night and delaying all the trains, two midweek games in and a lot of commuters on that line are fed with West Ham already.
 
Enjoying the absolute mess that this has been so far. Fans miles from the pitch, fighting among themselves (not sure why, but I mean, they're ********s, aren't they), dreadful atmosphere, out of Europe to a team struggling in the Romanian top division. #europeanadventure :smile:

Watched some of their Euro tie on BT last night, really surprised how far the stands are from the pitch. The Boleyn was always a great stadium in terms of atmosphere, which has been replaced by a sterile corporate bowl... Just goes to show, be careful what you wish for.
 
Its not as bad as I thought it could be, there is some distance but not as bad as other olympic stadiums.

Still looks a bit odd though.

They never change do they. They were also fighting amongst themselves inside the stadium during the game last night.

I also saw a video on Sky news on Sunday night of them fighting with the Bournemouth fans directly outside the stadium, with families with kids around allegedly.

I've heard of them being loutish around Westfield as well. Think it was rubbish but someone said the casino won't let in people with football shirts on anymore. I would imagine the ones you'd want to exclude would be the stone island brigade
 
My favourite story of the week though, was that West Ham sold Season ticket holders their new seats for the new stadium, yet actually failed to install the seats!! and then to add insult to injury the fans were repeatedly warned over the tannoy several times "that persistent standing will result in ejection from the stadium." :smile:

The cost of conversion has now gone up another £51m to £320m. Something to do with better seats for those Hammers. Lets hope they really do improve the view, after all we are paying for it.

It is now also stated that the retractable seats will in fact be removed at the start of the summer and replaced in late August manually. Adding a further cost each year.
 
The entire sorry tale guarantees one thing....some people have made a lot of money...whilst the fans have been conned.
 
I really hope Khan gets his way and an investigation takes place. The taxpayer is getting a serious rinsing here and it just doesn't seem right to me. I'm not looking for West Ham to be unduly penalised (well, not much, anyway), but I just don't see how they can get away with paying as little as they are.
