Would You Watch Football At This Ground?

Would you watch football at this ground?

With the final piece of turf being laid at the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, West Ham fans can now finally get an impression about how their new home will look.

One of the principal reasons why the Hammers were awarded the stadium was because they promised to keep the athletics track around the ground but looking at the photos of the completed stadium, some fans might be thinking of investing in binoculars as well as a season ticket.

According to The Guardian, West Ham plan to spend £90m "on a stadium upgrade in an effort to fix the problems suffered by other football-club tenancies of Olympic stadiums", which will involve "retractable seating and a new roof, in an effort to keep the noise in".

However, the track is going nowhere, so the club have their work cut out if they hope to recreate the famous intimacy of their current home Upton Park.

Cool cool, will email.

As for the stadium, the furthest seats will obviously be the cheapest, and there will be retractable seating at the front, to reduce the distance between the front row of seats to the pitch.

All in all it's still a wise move for WHUFC, more bums on seats, more revenue etc.
