The gaff empties out after 70 odd minutes no matter the result.
It's packed with neutrals.
There's agg every single between the crowd & stewards.
There's literally no identity left of the club, no one can tell me being over there resembles anything like a West Ham home game...

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Really looking forward to Spurs and Palace away this coming week.
Couldn't give a toss about the next 'home' game.
It!s like supporting 2 different Clubs - one you care about and one where you feel like a tripper.

So they eventually put shelves up to rest your beer on under some of the stairs - only to stick a pop-up bar in front of it!

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
People leaving now seems different. - at the old girl, we stayed to the end because we were in it together. -now it seems like people leave because they don’t want to be part of the West Ham London charade any longerBeavis Danzig wrote:took my mum for only the third time to the OS, her previous two trips being palace and spurs (first time around) but she finally got to experience something more in line with the standard nu west ham experience and suffice to say she was heartbroken. the streams of people flooding out the exits hurt her more than the result.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Hundreds of people attend who don't follow west ham. As I was walking over the bridge there were a group of kids mumering tottenham songs. if you didn't laugh you'd cry.jacko wrote:I was speaking to an Arsenal fan at work who said he was going to buy a season ticket next as it's cheap and you get to see premierleague football. It doesn't feel right to me.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
Doc - that's good to hear but the rest of us have no chance getting away tickets. The only chance I have of away tickets is if we get relegated..
4800 for Wembley. I recall turning up at WHL paying cash on the door..Must have been 7k there.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
.
I swore I’d never go back to the Council House but I was convinced this would be the start of something better. I was wrong. Apart from the crap performance, the journey in was diabolical, the trip home just as bad, I left early but the stewards would not let me over the bridge even though I was the only one there. A quarter of the seats were empty in my block from the start and the 2 blokes in front of me were season ticket holders but Charlton supporters who came when they played away or a big club was playing - tourists. The whole thing is a joke, a thoroughly awful experience from start to finish. God I miss the buzz and rush of the old home which felt so welcoming and exciting. OS is sterile with antagonistic staff and a bland environment - it will never have a heart or attachment for fans. My kids don’t want to go so what does the future hold for support?

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions
it is a bland neutral venue which is not our home.
there is nothing that really says we are the home team.
its a soul drian bowl.
a few good performances would change it of course but if we go through the trap door andare relegated it will be a half empty bowl.
I miss the boleyn .
good things from the move carpenters pub,and nothing else.
should never have moved. we could of expanded the boleyn ground to 45000 and been happy.
our crowd is worth a few points a season but not now as we are too far away.
we are dying as a club.

That's possibly the greatest compliment I've heard anyone pay it.
