West Ham pull the trigger

I'm not surprised, with Pearson levitating Watford onwards and upwards, West 'am are perilously close to the relegation zone. 4th home defeat in a row I think, today.

Their change of ground has given them the bigger crowds they wanted, but I can't think of any other way in which they've benefited - would really like them and Villa to go down.

Absolutely destroyed any home advantage that a football club should enjoy. A soulless mausoleum - the complete opposite of the tight, homely Boleyn Ground. Trouble is it didn't suit the egos of Gold, Sullivan and Brady..

They couldn't stay at the Boleyn, like arguing we could stay at NP, and the Olympic stadium was a world class venue for a deal which was almost criminal, but the London Stadium itself is not the best football ground and certainly is not a venue for a traditional, family club like West Ham. Gold/Sullivan/Brady acted like they were in charge of a Fulham or Chelsea rather than try to understand what West Ham needed.

It was deliberately designed to NOT be a football stadium. Also it was designed with the top tiers as a temporary structure to be removed leaving a 25,000 seat athletics area. Sebastian Coe specifically said that it wasn't to be used for football but to be the athletics centre of excellence for the team GB.

And the land it stood on was worth an absolute fortune!!
