White Hart Lane held 36,284.
Stamford Bridge holds 41,631.
Highbury held 38,419.
That's ignoring teams like Everton who have been up there at times. Basically it's a shit point. Mostly it's about the $$$, whatever form that takes.

Couldn't give a stuff about the hammers fans after all their gloating about a shiny new stadium for only £2m a year. They didn't think about;
A) athletics stadiums don't work as football grounds - who could have known that?
B) Gold, Sullivan and Brady are only there for the money. They get to keep the money from the old ground AND in 9 to 10 years time they will sell the club because they will not have to pay us/government any of it back.
The only investment they will do is to ensure the club are in the PL in 8-9 years time to get more money from selling the club.

But that's the whole point. Fans have been duped as usual. They didn't gloat - they didn't want to move.
The fact that their owners only give a *#*# about the money is why they're not happy. Modern football.
Bet the owners have made a few squid out of it though.

I'm surprised you haven't stumbled on this before. You really need to check out the actual You Tube channel, West Hams Fans TV.
Apparently the Queen Mother was a massive fan.
It's actually really good in honesty. Some quite professional kit on display outside the away end.
Can't wait for the next episode of Post Match Pint.

Oh yes they did. They were well up for the stadium. Now reality has set in they don't like it and if they were duped, they were silly because it was obvious to me and I'm sure plenty of others what has/will happen.
The problem is not that they reused a athletic stadium as Manchester city’s Ground was converted from the commonwealth games. It’s the fact they have to keep the running track, so the stadium is neither one thing or another and a bit sh1t. Going from Upton Park to that must be heart breaking, not that I have any sympathy. I guess if they were winning the league they would not be so bothered, but as they are not they have the hump.

I think its quite clearly an athletics stadium. The Man City Stadium and Stade de France are borderline successful.
You (in varying degrees) always end with a two deep and shallow lower tier which ends up with the higher stands being pushed too far back.
You simply can't mix the two, you always end up with a compromise.

Another new manager, £100m spent on new players and another home defeat at the athletics stadium.

Actually think they will be alright once they get a win under their belts.

Could be against us considering their next games are Everton away, Man U then Chelsea.

Can they beat PaLLLLLLLace's record?
More about Wolves being a very good side who have spent well. They have far better scouts than West Ham and the whole city is football mad. I honestly think they could break into the top six this season if they keep believing in themselves.

They always pay over the odds for overrated players " the academy of football " my arse! I hope we never get to that stage where we feel we have to sign declining name players for huge amounts. Give me the unfashionable Murray and Knockaert over players like Antonio and Jack Wilshere any day of the week.

P4 L4 Pts 0
and their next 3 league games before they play us, Everton (A) Chelsea (H) Utd (H)
So they may well be rocking up at the Amex with a P7 L7 Pts 0 record
