The Official West Ham United Thread.
Discussion
So in today's London Evening Standard Simon Jenkins talking about the Olympic Stadium states that 'cannot believe West Ham will occupy for long'.
Seriously wtf is he on about?

Stadium, and our use of, notwithstanding; personally I don't disagree with the broad sentiments - poorly planned, poorly designed etc post Olympics, money poured in etc & what we've been left with.
But most of that, particularly in relation to the Stadium, was know from the outset.
However none of that's WH's fault & his critique could be applied to many large urban 'redevelopment' schemes of the last 10/20/30 etc years.
As to not being there long he doesn't expand on that so seems a pointless remark.

What time are people aiming to get there? It's a full house 55,000 and I have no idea how Stratford tube copes with those numbers? Never been there before...
I'll be there from 17:30 ish, need to find somewhere for a beer though as the Stadium's dry this evening due to poxy UEFA rules. Stratford's a large station and a major rail interchange, but I assume it'll still be chaos.
I pull in to West Ham station at about 18:00 - just got to run the gauntlet of the DLR across to Stratford.
So I'll probably get there for the second half
I'll be with my son but still going to try to find somewhere for Nachos and a beer
