David Gold just pulled up alongside me near the stadium in his Rolla/Bentley, he looked like he did not have a care in the world so I doubt he gives a fuck.
Reg Number X GOLD X
The car is absolutely enormous, and as you can imagine behind the wheel the owner looks pretty damn smug. The reg nr is D 6OLD.
He must have more than one personal plate, he pulled away in front of me, it was definitely X GOLD X

I saw the D 6OLD one on a Roller with a chauffeur sitting in waiting for David, when he was at PV's 60th the other year.
At the West Ham game tonight - good view from these seats but I think they're some of the best, looks like vast swathes of the stadium would see very little.
I think it would make a nice canvass print on the wall but I'd hate being that far away watching a live game.
Maybe just spoiled/used to the The Valley views.
I haven't been to a game at new Wembley yet, but when I was there for the Summit in July I was in a room that looked out onto the stadium. I was pleasantly surprised how intimate and close up it looked. Like a proper football stadium. This looks much worse to me.
It is to be fair, came here already to slag it off but the views decent. Atmospheres terrible and there's no pubs nearby (compounded by the fact that you can't get a beer inside as its a UEFA game).
I took three photos of the stadium at the Anniversary games and then found 'Google photos' had kindly stitched them all together to form this panoramic view. I was about three quarters towards the back and thought it far too distant for football.
Boris Johnson!! David Gold!! David Sullivan!! Karen Brady!! David Cameron!! George Osborne!! Lord Coe!! West Ham London!! Your boys took a hell of a beating!!
I sat behind a corner, upper tier. Couldn't hear the refs whistle at all, even when quiet.
Pockets of chanting and a few whole stadium ones where stands shook (concrete upper tier).
Made improvements to cover scaffolding by adding more material banner advertisers.
I had fans around me whose seats were still covered by tarp.
All in it is a stadium for the corporate client, not the genuine fan. Thats the feel I got. All very temporary and not a 'home'.
How much the crowd control must cost is Astra-nominal (!). Not a quick set up and take down. Add that to the seating and no-one else is seriously using it during the season.
Cheap way to tick off the 92 list at a tenner mind. Cost more for a travelcard!
Went tonight. Left after 70 minutes though as I was really bored. Really wasn't supposed to be a football stadium. Atmosphere really poor, people next to me didn't even stand up for the bubbles song.
I was sat at the front of the upper tier and couldn't see a bloody thing. Struggled to read even the numbers on back of shirts at the other end of the pitch let alone the names.
Look how awful this looks too. Seats taken off the slab and then just dumped below.

£2.80 a bottle of Coke, £4.10 a pie !
Looks miles away.

I believe we may have a suitable candidate available for them and can negotiate a decent transfer package.
