Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 West Ham have already increased the capacity of the Olympic Stadium up to 60,000 due to the demand. I don't think people outside of East London/Essex appreciate just how well supported a club they are. Upton Park has been restricting them for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 They regularly become a decent sized force after four/five seasons on FM, go twenty years into the future and they turn into top four regulars, purely based on the amount of income the new stadium brings them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcor Roar Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 No official word just yet unfortunately. If I were to guess; I am of the assumption just now that we'll probably extend it a little bit, but try to keep the extension in line with the pillars/floodlights that hold the Roseburn & Gorgie stands, and will continue to apply for exemption should we make the Europa League. The Champions League is overrated anyway... We would need to relocate the pillars which hold up the new stand/half roseburn & half Gorgie in order to have a compliant pitch length. The problem I gather is that the pillars are too close to the corner flags so we can have a pitch 2 metres too shot or two metres too narrow currently if you see what I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 And Mario Gomez scored the goal to christen it in a stormer of a game. I actually like it. Really tight to the pitch and in Turkey with their mental fans it's probably pretty good on match day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1875 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Why the F**K do they have TV screens in the back of every seat? To watch replays apparently. Going to be hard to watch replays on those screens if there's nothing but flare smoke around you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 To watch replays apparently. Going to be hard to watch replays on those screens if there's nothing but flare smoke around you The other irony of that is that UEFA have banned action replays in-Stadia 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is there a reason the top tier at one end is different to the other 3 sides (it comes down further)? Odd for a new-build - it's like the Millennium Stadium? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Is there a reason the top tier at one end is different to the other 3 sides (it comes down further)? Odd for a new-build - it's like the Millennium Stadium? I assume it is something to do with this, taken from wiki: The old stadium was demolished, except for the Eski Açık stand, since this stand and its towers are considered historical monuments by the government. The Eski Açık stand is re-arranged to resemble the look of an antique amphitheatre. The new stadium is "in harmony with the natural and historic landscape of the Bosphorus" when seen from the sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop Briggs Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 More advertising revenue too. This. Plus the club could put on pre and after match programmes, e.g. discussion and highlights. Fans will be in the ground longer and can spend more money on food and drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
