    I have not got in the ground once without be searched and had to use my tickets to get through the barriers . I have been four times now and apart from a few minor gripes about the food concessions have nothing but positive things to say about it. People seem to be obsessing the negatives its a new stadium with new operators and there are teething problems. News stories that say West Ham ground good do not get written because people do not want to hear it they want it to be bad . Go to game and judge for yourself instead of taking opinions of people off the internet as gospel is all I ask you might be pleasantly surprised

    I confess to standing for the whole game last night. There was a problem in the sale of the tickets, in that mine had been sold twice, although I had my email showing the numbers on them. The very nice stewards asked me if I would mind standing behind the disabled seats where the view was very good and came along every ten minutes to tell me they were still trying to find me a seat and would I mind still standing. The fun bit was watching them eject my fellow standers whilst apologising to me for disturbing my football!

    So nothing positive?

    No one who has gone has had a good word to say about the experience?

    It's all doom and gloom?

    Grey - not at all, here you go, for a bit of balance.....

    Gaps were terrible but have been covered look good
    People seem happy with the drinks/menu and speed they get served
    Seat spacing, leg room decent
    they can get out and back in again for all those ;smoking
    The Atmosphere does sound better than I thought it would
    I love the look of the East Stand KOP, when I go, that's where I want to be
    The pitch looks closer from many locations than I thought it would
    Site lines appear comparable with other big stadiums, which they promised
    It does look more like our "home" than I thought it ever would, good work
    Cheap tickets, can't knock that. People moaned about that before now they're moaning that we've moved to bring "only" 12m a season more ticket revenue ;doh

    ;ok

    It is interesting seeing the different cultures.

    Over here I see a whole array of club shirts at Toronto FC, i've warn my WHU before. but never see the opposition shirt.

    Plenty of kids wearing different shirts.

    I've seen some truly awful comments on Social Media about these shirts witnessed last night, this is the tourist piece the club has sold to, the "die hard" WHU fans don't like it, understandable but they're going to have to accept it to a point.

    Also last night was the first Newham ticket give away I think? That could of caused a few "neutrals"

    The seat exchange is up and running again. After they were warned by West Ham regarding the legality of the website they have rewritten it so comply.
    You register your interest in exchanging your ST from a standing to sitting seat or vice versa. Your seat goes on the list which is visible to all but only if you are registered can you make contact with the other ST holder. Once agreed on a swap both then contact West Ham to make it official. That's the gist of it anyway.

    Sense is slowly prevailing, we hope.

    IH,

    But if the stadium owners and managers are still insisting on 'No Standing' what is the point of swapping tickets - or have they now made a concession on this? The reality could be that by allowing the swap, they then identify all those who are going to stand and will make it easier to ID them and cancel their ST's.

    SSN are saying that David Gold says that 'the club are exploring a safe standing option at the London Stadium'.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    He keeps saying that.

    I hope this time he is actually talking to the premier league.

    Oh. Ok. ;biggrin
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    So,

    Karen Brady is telling fans to sit down.

    David Gold is telling fans to sit down else we won't get a licence for 60k then 66k.

    Jack and David jnr. are openly supporting the standing fans.

    Jackie Gold came out yesterday with the 'sit down until we get the 66k then you can do what you want!

    David Sullivan has said nothing.

    Clear now? ;doh

    The children really need to be told to put a sock in it ;doh
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    That they do.

    They are making the situation worse.

    If those standing are banned will the boys get them their season tickets back.

    What a stupid thing to say.

    Like, they can't reduce the capacity again if we breach the licence conditions. ;doh
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    ;doh

    A lot of the arguments are based on the belief that the board are just trying to cash in on the additional 9k seats, which of course they deny. Jackie Golds comments give some credence to that argument.

    ;lol Cash in on?

    Of course they are trying to cash in on bring more revenue into the club. Isn't that what they are supposed to do?

    Maybe they should demonstrate their purity of heart and disdain for filthy lucre by not selling any tickets ;hmm

    Only if you promise not to buy any food or drink at the stadium, and under no circumstances are you to spend any money in the club shop. ;ok

    To line their own pockets and not the football clubs is the argument.

    Not an argument I find convincing or have any sympathy with, tbh ;ok


    Remind me again how much they spent in the transfer window....
