Surprise there hasn't been more outrage from the Mockneys about this, it's a horrendous over-simplification of their badge.Clash wrote:Yeah this new stadium looks even more of a monstrosity than ours. I've got a couple of mates who support West Ham and I've been telling them for ages that they'll grow to hate the place and be pining for their old one once the novelty wears off.
West Ham are mirroring us in many ways and from a football perspective are making a lot of the same mistakes. Their new badge and re-branding is dreadful and it has the fingerprints of that poisonous bitch Karen Brady all over it.
'' West Ham United - London '' How desperate is that?!
I remember when they revealed our new badge on some crappy flags during halftime home to Southampton and it rightly got booed. West Ham seem relatively content with this abomination.

New stadium. Cheap tickets. First home game of the season.
Still had thousands of empty seats.
Doesn't look too good for the future.

I was in the clock end that day - distinctly recall a chant of "what the f ing he'll is that"as some poor old junior Gunners had to walk around the pitch with the emblem on a flag.NBM wrote:Surprise there hasn't been more outrage from the Mockneys about this, it's a horrendous over-simplification of their badge.Clash wrote:Yeah this new stadium looks even more of a monstrosity than ours.

Re: Goodbye to the Boleyn
Already they are bemoaning the FACT that tourists / fans of other teams are blatently turning up just to watch a match (have even seen pictures with fans in team shirts of other clubs (bizzare and asking for trouble )

I think once the result in the Europa League result went against them it provided a vent for all the shit aspects of sellIng your soul.
Was it worth it for us? Never was for me but I can see it from others point of view as well. Just think Highbury was a unique symbol of a football club. But not enough corporate entertainment

Bottom line is they have not got the support to fill that stadium, even with their tax payers subsidised tickets......or topped up by tourists and first time sightseers....olgitgooner wrote:New stadium. Cheap tickets. First home game of the season.

Compared to the Arsenal they are minnows

Exactly. When they get settled and get into one of their relegation dogfights (or indeed get relegated ) they will have about 27000 fans trying to fill that stadium.

With the shammers moving to the Olympic stadium does it make them our closest London rivals?
Thought the lane was about 6 miles away?

Re: Goodbye to the Boleyn
My Seagull supporter mate is getting tickets for their game against Accrington in the League Cup. £15 per ticket. I was hoping to go watch a Barnet game or a non-league game, but I suppose you have to slum it once in a while
They'll have a couple more tourists in their taxpayer bowl
Oh, and 'London Stadium'. What a shit name. That's the best they could come up with?

Very true.
I've only been past the lane once because i followed the sat nav . Never gonna make that mistake.
As my youngest said they've ruined the Olympic stadium.
