im afraid that will be the norm if the schlap back to the station will be the norm , and not overly keen on swaythes of empty corporate seats around the tunnel in the 2nd half, looks awful @ wembley and looked awful last nightJumby wrote:One thing that left me speechless tonight, other than how impressive our new home looks, was the emptying of the stadium after Feghouli scored, anyone would think we were 3-0 down, not 3-0 up. That sort of thing can't continue, that's not the West Ham I know. I don't want us to become one of them clubs, we might not win trophies but I pride us on our substance, let's not lose it in a plastic world.
It's a fair point, however I think people were using this to test it out, and didn't want to get caught out and end up missing their last train etc. (e.g. us!)Tristan Shout wrote:I know the tie was pretty much over and people were worried about getting trains etc but on 80mins I was disgusted, so called fans were streaming out, we would rip other teams apart for that kind of behaviour

They were the only available food I could find. WTF were they????? :
That's my biggest gripe, there is much more allocation to Corp than at the Boleyn and you can imagine it will be half empty much of the time which does look awful. Not sure what the answer is there, surely our "celeb" fans have enough mates who want to rock up with themchigwells finest wrote:

Woohoo! I'm in 138 on Sunday, can't wait.dt64 wrote: Last thing I'll say... I just can't get my head round little old west ham in that amazing stadium, view from block 138 in the east stand was perfect, it's never going to be the boleyn but to see and hear 54k hammers at our HOME stadium is something else.

I believe the gambling advertising ban is just in Slovenia (home of Domzale). Not a europa league banHammersfaniow wrote:Can't see it mentioned anywhere, but how come we were allowed to wear the kit with the sponsor on last night as opposed to having blank shirts last week ? I would've thought the rules about advertising gambling would've applied to the competition as a whole, not just certain countries ?
They said last week that Slovenian law banned betting adverts - I don't think it had anything to do with UEFA.Hammersfaniow wrote:Can't see it mentioned anywhere, but how come we were allowed to wear the kit with the sponsor on last night as opposed to having blank shirts last week ?

Apparently there is a shuttle bus that will take people like your dad to and from the station, I'm sure i read that somewhere yesterday.Hugh Jargon II wrote:Managed to get to the game. Pleased with view, leg room. Atmosphere was awful but would have been the same at UP for an early Europa tie. Facilities good.
Incoming journey was amazing. I reckon halved my journey time.
Coming home was a bit depressing personally. My Dad is 83 and it will be too exhausting for him. Standing up in queue, platform and train for over an hour and a half.
Gutted for the old boy.
I was in block 112 turnstile A-CHarry Hound wrote:
It was very different, at UP if you didn't want to queue you just walked to Plaistow, Forest gate, Canning Town or jumped on a bus to somewhere, here we were all kettled in and couldn't go anywhere.
