I don't know many West Ham fans but the ones I do know never wanted to move. You can understand why the club jumped at the chance as it is saving them an absolute fortune, but it comes at the price of awful view, no atmosphere and these arguments over who sits and who stands.
West Ham have the option of employing their own stewards, or police, at their own cost, but refuse to do so as they can't pass on the costs to the tax payer.
