Don't mean to be disrespectful to WHU but if you think that you will have any type of an atmosphere in that stadium with the reduced cap and the running track ...you are in for a big surprise ....from behind the goal you will be 100m away from the field .

Don't see why you would be compared to Fulham....they have a very small stadium as it is ( although they are extending it) It is agreat place to see a game in probably the niceest setting for a stadium in the UK. It is also a very wealthy part of London and they have a huge neutral end that  is usuallly filled out with away fans on big match days .

The best soln for the stadium in Straford was what Spurs proposed ...buldoze it and build afresh and build the legacy for athletics in Crystal Palace . Keep the current shell for football is madness.

WHU are hardly Lazio ( share with Roma) or River Plate .

WHU might be sharing with the orient FFS.

This could kill off the hammers if they get it wrong

So glad Spurs did not get it
"in di cup for Tottinghang!"

About time there was a WHU topic on this forum!

Long term West Ham fan myself and am a bit skeptical. Was at a few games last season and was surprised to see most fans are very enthusiastic about it. Seemed to think the biggere capacity would lead to cheaper tickets which would result in more people going to gmaes. Very working class area so locals can't afford the prices that Chelsea/Arsenal/Spurs charge. They see Fulham as the perfect example, cheap tickets, good football, nice stadium.

Also heard a lot of people saying that foreign players prefer to come to stadiums like the Olympic Stadium rather than Upton Park. I love UP, but I suppose that's more nostalgia.

I was worried bout the atmosphere too, but there's loads of examples of places that create atmospheres with running tracks (Lazio, River Plate). If the fans are good enough, they'll be fine.

Will be very hard to create a decent atmosphere in that stadium considering how far the pitch will be from the fans.
