Completely different set of circumstances though - Withdean was only ever supposed to be a temporary stopgap while we sorted out a proper ground. London Stadium they've signed a 99 year lease, and are paying £7.99 a month to stay there.
Thats NEVER gonna change, whatever ideas the fans might...
I doubt very much a perennial 4th division minnow in the area with crowds of 5k was even on their radar. The ticket pricing was done to avoid swathes of embarrassing empty seats. Sure they might have attracted a few floating "fans" who might've opted for Orient, but "crush them" ? Nah. They're...
I was about to say, their attendances have remained fairly stable since 2016, hovering between 4k-6k despite them dropping into the National League for a couple of seasons. This season they're regularly getting north of 6k, and even got 7k for the visit of Swindon, so I can't see that the London...

I've not been there yet so I may be blowing it out of my arse, but as stadiums go (and I am something of a nerd when it comes to stadiums), from what I've seen, its one big MEH from me. I was underwhelmed at its design for the Olympics. A basic circular bowl, nothing remarkable or iconic. The...
The Next Level and the London Stadium Match Day Experience
So, you travel by train to the OS, or London Stadium, call it what you will, and you get out at Stratford or maybe one of the smaller stations nearby.
