What has actually changed? The colours of the seats and the running track covered up and a lick of paint.

West Ham United - the first team to ever move to a new stadium, ever. If you believe Sky!
They haven't shown all the scaffolding yet.

So they get the stadium and can't even fill it for their first game? What a waste.

I hate that stadium, it looks brilliant visually but the fans are too far away from the pitch which means the atmosphere suffers plus it's too big for West Ham loads of empty seats. It's not what I like from a football stadium.

As much as it pains me to get into cliches, the fans really are too far from the pitch. I'm somewhat curious about what they'll think of it when they've really settled in.

Err... It went to... Uh... Take back control!I'd be more interested in knowing where the £272 million of our money that was used to provide west ham with a stadium went. No way on earth the conversion cost that.

New seats?
I'm never a fan of transforming olympics stadiums into football arenas but this is one of the better ones. The fans aren't as close as they should be but this was inevitable, it's better than most other ones easily.

Compared to which other stadia?
I haven't watched him so I can't judge, but you've really seen Drinkwater spraying 40-50 yard inch perfect passes with spin to slow the ball at the right moment after only a single controlling touch?shows the media bias to certain players, when I've seen Drinkwater play that same ball loads of times but it gets labelled lumping it forward for Vardy to chase

Upton Park was an intimidating ground.
If i was a oppo player I know which ground i'd rather play at. You wont be able to hear any cockney insults with them being that far away.

Fantastic stadium.
I get what he's saying. Most of the time the Olympic stadia are converted they're left with the track and the fans are well off the field.Compared to which other stadia?
2 off the top of my head...
Stadio Olympico - Roma/Lazio
Olympiastadion - Herta Berlin
Yep, the bigger teams will be delighted with this stadiumUpton Park was an intimidating ground.

They weren't converted into football stadia though. Problem is retractable stands always cause these problems, the Saint Denis is better but the fans aren't close to the pitch either. City's ground was always going to be football ground but London's didn't have that luxury which is why they're stuck with a hybrid stadium that doesn't really work as a football ground.

There's a faint echo in the air, I think it's the West Ham fans.

Said it before, I reckon this is the season when everything returns to normal and the "old" top4 (with Citeh instead of Pool) reestablishes itself as a notch above all the surprise teams.
Actually Tottenham might tip Arse, but that is about as big an upset we will get this season.

Blow up dollies as well.David Gold is a living representation of Del Boy actually becoming a millionaire and owning a football club.

Developed a strong dislike for David Gold, the fecking garden gnome, after he tried to brush over WH's chavvy fans attacking our bus last season.

Yep. Really can't be doing either of them to be honest but you generally hear and see more from Gold. And not just because Sullivan is about 3 foot 4!Developed a strong dislike for David Gold, the fecking garden gnome, after he tried to brush over WH's chavvy fans attacking our bus last season.

It was the shortest one in that picture who forgot to buy a child sized WH tie. That is Sullivan, not Gold. Mixed up the names.Was that him or the porn dwarf?

He should've got two yellows in that situation.

A sending off looking more likely than a goal, terrible game.
