As a West Ham fan, what are YOUR demands for London Stadium changes and why? 👀

reubengane54d ago

Buy the Stadium for a nominal sum and spend a season at Wembley and gut out the Stadium and reseat fan's nearer the touchline and give it the Upton Park feeling.

cumberworth574d ago

The only viable option is to buy the ground for £1 to take it off the taxpayers hands but with the proviso the athletics deal is cancelled. Then the ground could be redeveloped as a football stadium. Otherwise suck it up and continue pumping taxpayers money in!

grahamwatts5d ago

Some on here need to get real! We are going no where else as both unaffordable and land unavailable. The existing stadium has best transport links in the country and is capable of improvement. The worst bits are both ends upper tier behind big screens. I have sat in all areas and now in Billy Bonds stand which is brilliant.

moharris19585d ago

I agree with a rebuild but sharing it isn't for me. We need a home to call our own of we'll lose our sense of identity. The capacity needs to remain the same. There are now 60k season ticket holders, so where would they all go if capacity is cut ?

dantowen819515d ago

Where would we even share? Leyton Orient is one people mention but their stadium is tiny!

kwaylen6d ago

We need all the scaffolding and gaps closed in with extra seating and some safe standing areas behind both goals! We need the seats moved nearer the pitch and the cantilever roof serviced so that it will operate correctly when fully closed ! This will enhance the atmosphere and noise volume

dantowen819515d ago

Yeah, moving the seats closer is the obvious one for me. I think that makes a big difference straight away

chrisbergin6416d ago

KNock it down and rebuild it into a football stadium or team up with Leighton Orient, build a knew stadium and share the ground, we only need a fifthty thousand seater for proper fans,not the site seeing that's going on at the moment

Pitch side, not purchase

cookie2704811w ago

New stadium please, but the suitable locations are diminishing and without Stavleys money it won’t happen. If we stay at LS Khan will moan endlessly about cost and I don’t see how it could ever be changed to become a proper football stadium, other than rip everything inside out and completely rebuild tiers starting at purchase.

nickdomjan1w ago

Imposing, intimate, 85k seats and bring back the chicken runs, it's fit for another purpose but not ours.....we need it to be our 12th man....

leeclarke05081w ago

Knock it down. An abomination of a stadium. A real shocker.

callum_boyle1w ago

Can’t knock it down on the pure basis that it works brilliantly for sports like track and field. It has its place, but not for football. They should relocate elsewhere but leave the venue for other sporting/entertainment occasions

dantowen819511w ago

It needs to be fan-focused and fan-centric! More affordable tickets, a better view of the pitch, and more facilities in and around the stadium

chillout1w ago

Not sure I see how West Ham could ever afford to build a new stadium now. I don’t see how the suns would ever add up.

dantowen819511w ago

Agreed, I think it’s probably about needing to modify the current ground really

amirmir1w ago

Do EVERYTHING to get out. Even if it takes a decade and more. One of the worst stadium moves any team has ever made.

jordan.harris1w ago

Surely we’re past the point of no return with the LS. Would love to see the club build a 50,000 seater that pays some sort of homage to Upton Park. I know it won’t happen, but we can dream

markmarston1w ago

Fans need to be closer to the pitch
