    at what point do we kick on towards Europe and move forward. Doesn't feel like we are going anywhere as a club. 3 season in 6 transfer windows ? still the same problems as we had back in the Boleyn.

    At this time last year after 28 games we had 30 points and sat 14th this year after 24 games we have 31 points and sit 11th so a little bit of progress I think we are moving in the right direction just slowly

    PLF It`s the inconsistency that gets me. We have played as well as we have ever done over the last ten years, and poorer than we have ever done over the last ten years. And that can be in the same game. I do think it comes down to our appalling injury list. Again. Pelle appears to have a plan, and given another few quid to spend in the summer, and a tincy bit of luck on the injury front, I`m sure we will see a steady improvement. We were World beaters after the Arsenal game. ;footie

    London Stadium owners have purchased the French stadium operating company.

    Manchester City moved into their new stadium in 2003, they didn't finish higher than 8th until 2010 (finished 5th, qualified for Europa League) although that was two years after they'd been bought by the Abu Dhabis...

    "The Abu Dhabis", or to be exact, Sheikh Mansour, the deputy prime minister of the United Arab Emirates of which a little background wouldn't go amiss

    Makes our "porno twins" look like welfare workers.
    I've never been able to understand the love-in with Citeh.

    West Ham have officially announced that the Bobby Moore Lower and Sir Trevor Brooking Lower stands will be squared off and moved up to 4 metres closer to the pitch. (via @WestHamUtd)

    Or rather, the club have announced that is what they would like to do, and plans are currently under consultation...

    It’s a good plan though. ;ok

    Won't it cost seats, though? Or how am I supposed to understand this move?

    The idea is to fill in the “arch” behind each goal, I don’t believe any stand “moves” in any shape or form

    When / if they do that then those seats will not be covered by the roof so if it rains you will get soaked, but there again many do already under the design that was supposed to cover every seat.

    (That’s not having a “pop” at the club in anyway before someone may think it is)

    If they get this done then great, at least it shows they’re trying to make some positive changes, the claret surround comes first (soon) then this for next season

    Need to see the plan in detail, but is sounds like a good idea to me, squaring it off between the corners will make it feel much more like a football stadium.

    I read somewhere that it will involve an additional 700 seats but at this stage the capacity would still remain at 60,000.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    The design I think did cover every seat but but that was as an athletics stadium

    The roof was re-done when it was converted, wasn't it?
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    I think so but not sure if it was before are after they tried the “retractable “ seating which never materialised.

    I remember getting soaked sitting near the front of the Bobby Moore lower at Upton park.

    I got snowed on at Tranmere in 1992.

    No such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothing ;biggrin

    Certainly was, and the lights moved under the roof I believe

    ;ok
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    I seem to recall that the roof was the most expensive part of the conversion.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    The 'new roof' follows the line of the stands as they are when in football mode.

    I thought there was an PL rule that all stands had to sit under a roof.

    Squaring off the BML & TBL will take them out of the roof line.

    Add a retractable roof extension?
