Dunno but the possibility popped up when I was looking for the missive from Brady telling the fans after they've moved nobody would be further back from the pitch, in their new seats, compared to their old ones.
I couldn't find that but did find a report saying Levy wanted to knock it down as...
Totally agree bar the last 2 words.
There's absolutely nothing stopping us from having the bestest atmosphere in the universe, other than ourselves.
It's got nothing to do with the team and everything to do with the thousands of supporters, like me, who are last to join in and not first.
I guess their only hope is an owner comes in.
Demolishes the Olympic Stadium.
Builds a fit for purpose football stadium
While
Funding a top 6 Premier League side.
Insisting on the West Ham way.
Simple pimple.
As I said I don't believe they have badly spent.
They may well have overspent, the palace syndrome (I had no idea they were so poor behind the scenes)
I think they've definitely been badly managed.
But I don't believe the recent players bought would be looked upon as bad buys in most other...
Sorry yes I could have added just a couple of words to offset the confusion.
They got what they wanted - a shiny new 60k stadium
The stadium that was 'sold' to them, by the owners, bares no relation to what they were given.
In hindsight I doubt many Hammers fans would have tearfully, but...
That's the very point many on here are making:-
'How many fans wanted to stay at Upton Park?'
What they wanted they got.
They wanted out because Upton Park was holding them back, it was stopping them taking their rightful place at the top table of Europe's elite.
What they were told they were...
I'm not entirely sure why this 'spent badly' myth has appeared.
I'll hazard a guess all 5 (five) mercy me)) of their strikers would walk into our starting 11.
We'd be waving our willy around town if Haller rocked up at the AMEX.
Who's taking Webster over their centre backs?
Rice v Stephens...
They were definitely shafted by the difference between what the board told them they'd get and what the board delivered.
I agree with what you said earlier.
In their current position they'd be screaming about how Upton Park was holding them back.

My expansion on the point 'they only really moan when they're in trouble' of relegation is:-
'they seem to be in relegation trouble quite a lot'.
Yet they never crop up when talking about financial doping.
Can someone please remind me of the deal they got.
I know it was good, I seem to remember something mind blowing about fizzy pop!
Agreed.
You are even using the same word as me to describe the fans predicament -
They were shafted.
All I'm saying is the level of their discontent is directly proportionate with their league position.
We can certainly add West Ham to the list of clubs in deep deep shite were they relegated...
