Really don't like diddy Dave and Brady 😂
If only someone had told them what a bunch of shysters they were!!
Also if they invade the pitch and snap the goalposts then they'll sell up pretty quickly because they'll be "scared" 😂😂
A lot of them wanted the new stadium with bigger attendances to compete more in Prem and for silverware (albeit not a shit athletics stadium)
They've got that now with regular 50k attendances and they won a european trophy
Now a lot are moaning about the soul of their club being ripped out, that does tend to get louder when they aren't winning as often
Careful what you wish for, their club is now a very different one after their move.....
From the outside they've got a new ground, more fans and are still in the PL.
Sullivan is proceeding fairly slowly in destroying the club.
A lot of them look at what Spurs got with their new purpose built stadium and they know that the London stadium will never be that.
We are having a purpose built stadium along with loads of other facilities going up a stones throw from St Andrews as well as fan surveys/engagements.
West ham do now have the second or third highest home attendance in the PL but the atmosphere is nothing like their old ground.
If they do end up in a relegation dog fight DS can just do a "Free" watch giveaway to placate the fans 😎
I remember many West Ham fans taking the piss when they took them over and when Carson took us down. 'Be careful what you wish for' they said, as they now sit in one of the biggest souless bowls in football and after 15 years of shite we are potentially going to get a proper football ground.
Second highest attendances.
There are a few around 60-62,000 though.
It is clear that getting 60,000 a week (if we do) won't magically put us in the top five.
By the time we are moved in and settled 60K+ will put you top 10: Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham. Newcastle and probably Chelsea will expand as well. There will be a few clubs like Everton and Sunderland and maybe AVFC and Leeds hovering around 50,000.
I'm sure Des would have had a say on this thread.
Their fans don't look very 'West Ham' these days.
Let’s be honest they didn’t want them and they hated them, yes some wanted a new stadium and to compete but I don’t believe any wanted to move to where they are
Forewarning them would’ve done no good anyway, fans rarely if ever get to pick who their owners are

Yep - this. It's been the 'long' game definitely, but there is a chance we get the last laugh on this one.
Some Blues fans tried to warn them that they were getting arses for new owners, and they called us 'bitter'. Well, maybe not so many would now.
Do you guys spending a lot of time talking to West Ham fans
I work in Essex a lot and they’ve hated Sullivan since day one
