It will be the biggest stadium in the championship by some way though

Why are you expecting jealous responses?
because certain Spurs & Everton fans are like that.
We heard that it would be the biggest ground in the championship next season.. when will it be?
season after Tomkins, after Payet leaves in the summer and you cant handle playing Thursday-Sunday
Depends, should Payet leave on how we invest the £35m odd (3 times what we paid for him) we would get for him.
It's okay because we have got Lanzini who is already worth 3 times what we paid for him
And is 6 years younger than Payet.
I don't think spurs or west ham will sell 60,000 tickets and fill either new ground unless it's a big game.

Really? Obviously I can't comment on Spurs, but West Ham have already sold 47,500 season tickets for next season which is the limit under Premier League rules, which say that 2,700 seats will be reserved for general sale and away fans get 3000. The rules actually states 5% for each, but to make segregation possible the away allocation is slightly over. Of course that is for 54,000 seats, hopefully 60,000 will be approved for 16-17.
Sane,I may well be wrong but I just don't see games against sides like stoke WBA Bournemouth selling out.
Let's hope the clubs price the tickets so parents can take their kids regularly
They'll sell out next season, probably the one after that. Beyond that it will be about how well we are doing on the pitch.
Yeah big difference though is that Spurs will own theirs whereas West Ham are just tennants
Poch's
True, it's awful that all West Ham will have to pay is a minimal rent. Whereas Spurs new stadium will mean a huge building cost to be payed off and then ongoing maintenance and repair costs.
Still, I'm sure Spurs will overcome that financial disadvantage, probably.
Article update
60,000 is happening next season.
I think if West Ham sell out at 60k, they will be doing tremendously well. Anything more than that is not really feasible.
As for iyou not paying maintenance etc. 100% of revenues at our new ground will be 100% ours.
West Ham have to share a lot of lucrative costs with the LLDC, including the whole of the match day catering costs (not hospitality though) and the stewarding etc is provided by LLDC & billed to West Ham.
Having said that I hope West Ham do well in the OS, they have a very good manager & the basis for a potential top 4 team. Hanging on to players like Payet will be key going forward for them

No, the spanners have sold 38K season tickets (at vastly reduced prices I might add), and given a further 5K away free to local residents and a further 3K to away fans.
They are desperately selling season tickets for as little as £289 and £99 for kids, this rented athletics stadium will be full of tourists and under 16`s, and soulless without atmosphere.
The Olympic stadium will be the day out of choice for plastics, football tourists and juveniles. They will have to keep ticket prices ridiculously cheap to keep people going after a year or two of novelty has worn off.
The second paragraph is your opinion.
The first is simply factually inaccurate, but keep telling yourself it, if it makes you feel better.
Let's look at the £289 tickets, so far that amounts to only 3000 seats, with 5000 of the additional 6000 seats also in this category. Hardly desperate.
Hahaha Billy the yidd making lies. We have sold 47500 season tickets still with a massive waiting list you liar
Many of these tickets have been bought by touts looking to make a quick buck, with no actual intent of attending any games at the tax payer funded athletics stadium.
Slashing prices is the only way they can sell the tickets, people have seen a bargain and reacted like the January sales, they will turn up once never to be seen again.... just like the bargain new shirt that you bought in the sales but did not really need or want, you wore it once before leaving it in a wardrobe and forgetting about it.
The Brady Bunch are desperate to sell out their rented, tax payer funded athletics stadium, it makes the Spanners look good to prospective buyers for when they come to sell up. The only way they can do that is to sell tickets at dirt cheap prices.
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.
