What would our opening ceremony be like?

[poplargeezer]

Assuming we get the go ahead with the move to the Olympic stadium (altho I'm still of the persuasion who say No) and in the light of Danny Boyle's magnificent opening ceremony - just wondering what our opening ceremony would be like to mark our new era at the ground?

I would hope it would include a montage of our history with a re-enactment of our World Cup win in 66

I think we should sacrifice Mark Lawrenson on a giant claret and blue alter..

An attempt at the world record for mass jellied eel eating should also feature.

Blow it up and head single file back to the Boleyn Ground.

Hopefully nothing arty-farty, muddled and irrelevant to football. TBH I'm not sure we need anything more than a cutting-the-tape exercise, alhough perhaps a parade of children wearing reproductions of the club's kits from Thames Ironworks days up to the present (including the salmon one!) might be acceptable.

Of course if there were to be an opening ceremony the 2 Daves would be castigated for (a) wasting money and (b) putting on a cheapskate show.

I happen to know for a fact that there has been a reasonably large budget set aside by the club for such an event when it's needed.
Also, let me say that an acquaintance of mine who works for a corporate function organiser, have been instructed by Ms Brady to come up with a grand opening sequence that is befitting the budget that has been put aside.
These are the early sequence tests, early tests though !

The olympic opening ceremony showed what it would be like if west ham were there - all those nhs beds being wheeled around the ground were past, present and future west ham players.
