West 'Am - Sunday 7th Jan. 2pm

[One Team]

Looks sold out on the web site now 

[Selred]

29 left.

[Club and Country]

Out of interest where is the rail seating on top tier? Is it in specific blocks?

[Steve Watts]

A few still popping up here and there - probably being released from unchecked out baskets I imagine.

LIAM MANNING'S HOME END REDS

[1960maaan]

Going to sell out to Season Ticket holders , impressive but a shame for members and the rest missing out.
I did wonder if they will release any more as I thought the max (15%) was 9,200 but I just re read the OS posting;

We have secured the maximum allocation offered of 8,924 tickets for our trip to the London Stadium

Guess that's the lot then . Some will obviously come up in dribs and drabs but no more from WHU.

Wonder how many home tickets are likely to be sold. With their European games and top flight stuff, I don't think we'll be high on their list of 'must see' games this year.

Seeing as it's next year, I agree.

That's what I was thinking .
My Inlaws asked if I could get them tickets but I steered them to the home end. They'll have no problem as they are from Essex .
I can't see there being that much interest , as you say, bigger fish to fry . Should still be a decent crowd , doubt they will sell out though.

It's a lot better than the upper tier

It's a wide angle lens which is making it look so bad. 

This is more representative.

Pretty awful stadium for football 

[exAtyeoMax]

Quite a nice London day out for me. Went to the stadium to see World Athletics about 5 years ago.

Oh yea I agree. But as for the view, probably no worse than level 7 at Newcastle! Hopefully there is not as many steps!

Being a local I’ve done some West Ham games and it’s a fairly accurate illustration of the away end. For some reason the gap between upper and lower tiers is more pronounced at the away end

Yeah the football is about 4th down on the list that day

Should be a great day regardless.

They have season ticket holders in every block that is not designated for away fans, only one needs to buy a ticket to make a block unsaleable to us.

Yeah had that at Millwall once and another time at Leyton Orient many moons ago.

It took a while for Bristol coach drivers to get the hang of that new-fangled orbital thingy they built round that London...

[CityReds]

SOLD OUT!

I think you’ll be surprised as last night in a league they’d already won and qualified they still got 48 thousand and it’s first game of FA CUP. which always creates interest,I think they’ll be 50000 altogether 

[Flagon]

Just managed to get one when refreshing page.

West Ham have the most season ticket holders in the Prem, not a chance of getting in any part of the home end

Don't forget it is an Athletics Stadium being moulded into a football ground

Just seen a thread on X by West Ham fans complaining about how many Germans were in the home end last night

By all accounts it’s a decent athletics stadium, problem is politically it’s a bad look removing the athletics so we’re left with a compromise that pleases nobody 

Saying that, once they started winning a lot of the West Ham fans complaints quieted down a lot

Yes, I know that, but still not fit for purpose as a new ground by the looks of it  .

[BCFC1512]

Strange the club have announced sold out, maybe they’ve kept some back/asking for more

I think the keyword there is "offered" not "required".  If WHam decide to give us more then I'm sure the club will take this.  As someone else said though all it takes is for one STH to buy their seat to make the block unavailable to us - unless they relocate them after purchase, which is highly unlikely.

I think the problem was, it was always going to end up as a football stadium, we all knew that however when they designed it they were adamant that it was going to be an athletics stadium and that was it. So it was designed to be an Olympic stadium that could easily be scaled back to be an athletics stadium. 

Unfortunately for the tax payer they hadn't considered that an athletics stadium would not be viable. 

West Ham have done the absolute best they could do with it. 

But the problem is and always will be with the initial design. 

It should have been designed as a football stadium that could host the Olympics and could be converted easily in the summer to host summer sports. 

Sebastian Coe is to blame for all of this.
