Hammers in the Olympic Stadium

[Scotty]

Karen Brady's just put this out.

The roof might just keep the atmosphere in after all as it's a lot bigger than imagined. Exciting times!

Fantastic looking stadium. What are they going to do with half the spare seats?

[Scotty]

That's the question everyone is asking! With 35k now and moving to 60k, it might take a season or two for it to be regularly sold out

[Luke]

Can't see you getting that capacity in the championship tbh.

I know I know. But what business would go to a new venue that limits their gate receipts within the first 5 years or so.

Last season the average WHU gate was 34,700 in a ground of 35,000. That's a high average and shows that in most cases the could have sold more. Sure they're not gonna get 60,000 but you need the seats available to grow the revenue and there was this ground that happened to be a available. My concern was and still is about the atmosphere. The video obviously show that's recognised and they're planning to address it. Maybe we'll get Man U's sound engineer down to pipe crowd noise

I pass the Stratford International Station twice a day. I'd pay £1 to go watch West Spam play now and again
