    West Ham's new ground

    Watching their game against Bournemouth at London Stadium. There are lots of empty seats with the crowd being quite a way from the pitch, a bit DVS like?.

    The fans are trying to create an atmosphere but it reminds me a little bit of this

    Wonder how many of the fans are yearning for Upton Park?

    Aaaarrgh! Can't listen to that.
    I can't feel sorry for the West Ham fans if they're not happy being so far away from the pitch because they only got that stadium courtesy of the taxpayers.

    I watched it too, it reminded me of the soulless US gridiron concrete bowls. Gimme the old Boleyn Ground anytime

    Watched their 3-0 loss there to Southampton yesterday. Wonder if they are regretting the move now. Can't help having 2-3 acres of land between the crowd and the pitch (as we learned at DVS). They were even playing crowd noise through the speakers (before kick off) to try and create an atmosphere.

    Wait till they go down and there's only 15000 rattling around in there. Serves 'em right.
