To start with it says 4 stands will be named after legends, well there aren't any stands, so basically don't believe itWestHamIFC wrote:I wonder how people would vote if these plans are indeed true?:

Would probably sway me in favour, tbh..
Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
I don't see how that reason not to believe it adds up TBH, there are two definite ends and two definite sides that could be named just as easily as stands, so all it amounts to is the terminology usedRichard WHUFC wrote:

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
I'm an Ambitious person, and I want my club to be. And unless we move away from Upton Park I can’t see us becoming a Great team competing with the best. Also there is no good saying we should extend Upton Park because it’s not possible with the clubs debt. So it’s rather gamble and take a 60 000 capacity stadium that will attract more fans and better players or stay at Upton Park and be an average club, being mid table and having relegation battles now and then???

She's into marketing and therefore will gloss any statements, we're not in a court of law everyone knows what she's like.
"Yeah but mum she said", really, the decision is the owners and theirs alone to make.
Self agrandisement doesn't become one, you buy some tickets well done and thank you.

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
One thing I find very confusing is the fact that what Clunge describes is, apparently, nothing like what the SAB were shown in mock ups just days before the bid went in.
Now, I don't know exactly what the SAB were shown because there's confidentiality agreements sticking out of everyones' arse (mine included), but what I do know is that they were not shown detailed plans and the graphics differed greatly to what Clunge claims to have seen.
So, he's either a liar or he's breached a confidentiality and the SAB were sold something else. If he is a he of course.
Confused? You will be. It's soap.

I was looking at OpenStreetMap earlier comparing transport links - OS, Arsenal, Filth, Boleyn....MitchOfficial wrote:I'm an Ambitious person, and I want my club to be.

It's a no brainer of a decision looking just at accessibility, it would probably be difficult to find somewhere else as well served as the OS

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
Retractable Roof :lol: what like the Millennium Stadium ?
That would be a total rebuilt of the Upper Tier to support the weight !!!!!!
This information from clunge came on same day WHU's View where on the news, ideal timed to scupper the their poll.
I reckon Brady is clunge, only one on the board that has one !!

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
Er, if its got retractable upper and lower seating and a retractable roof all we need is a retractable pitch and we can just tow the whole f**cking thing around behind David Gold's Rolls-Royce.
I wonder if the Caravan Club would let us join?

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
Not necessarily so. The roof was always planned to be extended after the Olympics as part of the conversion. We have no idea what the structural allowances made were.Pop Robson wrote:Retractable Roof lol: what like the Millennium Stadium ?

Not giving any credence to Adzman/Clunge, just pointing out from a technical point of view that it could be possible.
As a btw though, Carillion have built a building on the OS to accomadate the catering facilities. Fit out was pretty much finished before anyone realised they had not put in any ventilation and now there is a mad panic to get the kit ordered and installed in time

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
The roof was planned to be extended to cover the existing seats - ie the lower tier. At present they are not covered. If there is to be retractable seats (sic) over the track, then the roof would need to be extended further.hammerdivone wrote: The roof was always planned to be extended after the Olympics as part of the conversion.

Re: The Olympic Stadium: Poll IV
It was never originally planed to do that as the top part was going to be taken off and return it to a 20,000 seat athletics stadium.
It will never be coverted to a real football stadium unless We buy it .
And how will sustain it if we go down again .
And I for one do not want to sit so far away from the pitch .
