West Ham view 66,000 capacity for 2017-18

Having now had an an extension given to 60,000 up from 54,000 for the start of the 2016-17 season West Ham are investigating going up to 66,000 for the season after.

This is merely a planning permission issue and would make use of the seats that currently are only allowed to be used for concerts and interestingly international football matches and friendlies.

Let's look at your points..

"Many of these tickets have been bought by touts" You have absolutely no way to know this, however if true it can only mean the touts think West Ham will be the hottest ticket in town in coming years.

"Slashing prices is the only way they can sell the tickets" Not true, before the extension to 60,000 all avaliable season tickets had sold out with only about 8% of those at the £289 price.

Your last paragraph is pure jealousy and not worth the effort of a rebuttal.

Need to try harder mate.

Nothing to be jealous about here, it will be an awful football stadium full of tourists, kids and travelers. You know it and I know it, no matter how you or the Brady Bunch try and convince yourselves otherwise.

Disgust rather than jealousy my friend, disgusting that public money has been used to finance a shiny new football stadium converted from an athletics arena.

The Spanners announced major price cuts across the board for season tickets in April last year The incentive to boost sales, forced into reducing ticket prices or be faced with a half empty athletics stadium.

Yeah major price cuts, no they didn't, I've had a season ticket for about 15 years and I can honestly tell you I have not had a major price cut. I'm fairly certain though that given the massive oversubscription for season tickets that our owners are now regretting even the small price cut they gave.

Will it he awful? That is at least a realistic question, I just don't know yet (and neither do you) we will have to wait and see on that one.

The fact you call us the spanners means that you are not capable of debating fairly and will only believe what you want because of your hatred.

If I have any games I can't get to next season, maybe we can work something out? Happy to have a real fan have my ticket at cost.

This place will never have the game atmosphere of Upton Park. In a few years they could be in the Championship playing in front of 15,000.
