Over the moon we are staying in Tottenham with a purpose built stadium

Yeah but it's purpose built for concerts and Throwball.
Been all over the world but Anfield is still my home.

Find it a little bit cringey that they're all just piling onto the stadium as an excuse.
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Yeah I don't really get it either. I mean it's the first time the away teams are playing there too and they are managing to turn up during games.

There is a clear and measurable effect of moving to a new stadium.

In the short term, the team struggles.

It may well be a valid excuse.  But they're crap too ;)

So they've moved/been gifted/won the lottery to a bigger stadium where they can sell more tickets gets more fans in the stadium, but it's the stadiums fault they're playing like crap and losing.

Makes sense.

Wouldn't really be bothered to look up other teams who have moved grounds, and their results before and after. The activity over the summer and the lack of any effort to build on what they did well last season are far bigger impacts on their form, than having a bigger stadium.

Being further away from more favs isn't making them defend terribly.

What West Ham have lost is the intimacy of the Boleyn Ground, where the fans were the fans were on top of the action which created an intimidating atmosphere no teams liked playing there especially when West Ham were on a roll.

Where do you start.

Could go back in time & mention all the poor decisions at the club in recent years. As far back as letting slip & not investing in a young pool of talent & selling them eventually. Such players as Ferdinand, Carrick, Lampard, Johnson, Cole, Defoe etc . Arguably only Man Utd's Giggs , Beckham etc generation on par in recent years.

Redknapp wasted the funds on players like Rigobert Song & Titi Camara etc.

Then the Icelandics arrive & spend money they don't have & putting players on stupid wages that cripple the club for years. Icelands economy goes tits up & our owners who have borrowed to finance there fun at West Ham hut the financial skids thus so do we with over 100 million debt.

The Tevez saga costs the club Ł25 million. Taints it's reputation.

The Porn Kings come in . Firstly I have to thank them as they saved the club from administration. But wish they would stop being media whores & just run the bloody club. There soundbites are embarrassing at times. There handling if the Avram/ O'Neill saga what a shambles. If they had just sacked Grant then O'Neill would have joined.

Piss poor signings last summer etc. Avram Grant must go. Tactically inept no motivation skills. Playing players in the wrong positions, dropping players when they seem to do ok.

Finally the players. Other than Parker & Green the rest have been a disgrace. Stealing a living. Hopefully other than some if the local lads like Noble & Collison etc most will leave .

A fresh start is needed throughout the club.
The Championship is a tough league & we will need players up for the fight that means most if the current squad leaving thank fuck. Normally when you get relegated you want to keep your best players . These lot can fuck off 

 Good to see you back on Paul mate. :)

That's because you're desperate.

The best stadium? Hmmm. There's also only one of ever other stadium in the country.

Quote
“We have this great stadium and much better prospects and facilities than in our old stadium but we charge a lower price. We offer a more dynamic product at an inferior price. It’s been so well received and it comes back to our values and our culture.”

Well done for offering cheaper tickets but don't make out like you're doing it for the sake of the fans. It's being done out of fear of not being able to fill the stadium on a weekly basis. More dynamic product, than who exactly? They've looked and played like shite this season.

They really have one of the worst set of fans out there. Just like Chelsea, they are real nasty pieces of work. Not all of them but most of them.
