Well all seems to be generally positive from what I've read.
Went to Nou Camp yesterday, will be interesting to compare on Sunday !!
Trophy cabinet may be a bit smaller !!!

Pincher, sounds a lovely idea mate.

Rich - I think I read that Pudding Mill Lane DLR is closed until next year?

Andy - we've all talked about doing it, so let's make it happen!

Re Pudding Mill Lane - closed until next January. Bottom right of this link - https://az834416.vo.msecnd.net/cmsstorage/whu/medi...

What I meant was I can walk past the station down Pudding Mill Lane and come out on High Street/Bow Road/A11 then head towards Bow Rd Station.

Talking of cabinets anyone know what's happened to all the stuff that wasn't auctioned off - presumably there'll be a museum or similar created somewhere in due course?

That'll teach me to read the whole post!

I think the only way I'll get this close to the pitch at the OS is if I'm selected as a ball boy - and even then, I'm not too sure!

Have you got those Binoculars the right way round ?

The small end goes to the eyes .

Oh BCM - you tinker That's actually quite a lot closer than my actual seat

On the train now - looking forward to a pint and the game

Had regular updates from my daughter on the pre-match stuff yesterday. Seeing as though she hates football, it was lovely to see her so excited about it

Sitting in my seat for the season and am quite pleasantly surprised - a fair way from the pitch but nowhere near as far back as I feared. More than happy to suffer it this year and look to upgrade next season.

Juventus enjoying far more possession than the Hammers but a goal from Any Carroll should liven it up a bit.

Your wish is his command

BT Sport going on about the deal and Hartson says "Good on them, well done the owners, other teams are envious of them and so what. West Ham got in there and put in the hard work and did the deal." Well said Big John

Only joking as you know

In all honesty the Stadium pictures so far look stunning & much better thatn i imagined it to be having been there for for a day out watching the Olympics 4 years ago.

I was thinking this afternoon how the East Stand would look awesome with a MASSIVE West Ham flag unfurled from the back and passed all the way to the front at the start of each game. Would look amazing on the telly

what size do you reckon could be do-able?

[RichB]

Anything is do-able! What was your opinion on the game as someone who was there?
On TV it looked as though we were more organised when Ginge came on and Nordtveit looks solid.

Sounds like the Ayew deal's too far progressed to stop & that the Club doesn't want to spend on two strikers with the Sakho deal having fallen through.

Wonder how long that'll take to backfire.

Did Payet come on at all?

That end could become immense with the right fans in it! A lot of noise, flags etc.

I'm a regular in the Curva Nord at Lazio.
