Though it does beg the question what out event capacity would be, given the pitch for standing etc...

I doubt they would increase on the current capacity without transport/infrastructure improvements.

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

The pitch gets used though, look above - or are you saying they would leave the stands emptier to compensate?

You lose one end and a bit of the sides to the stage though.

As Jordinho says...

I think we might have to. Transport and infrastructure have been huge talking points throughout the application, I get the distinct impression (nothing more solid than that) that we've pushed our limits already with the capacity.

Could anyone get figures for a breakdown of seats :-

us nearer to pitch
both same to pitch
them further from pitch
​

perhaps stand by stand ... splitting at 45 degrees from corner flag ?

capacity generally stays about the same or even less for concerts, for two main reasons; 1. A stadium has a safety certificate for a certain capacity, and the emergency exits are designed for that capacity.
2. The stage and other stuff take up quite a lot of the space on the ground, and the seats at the back and up to the stage front on the sides, are not used. The space left on the pitch is then about 5000 sq. m, which mean about 5000-8000 people depending how much of the pitch is used for audience.

Unless your rented heap of brick athletics stadium has massive gaps between the stand and pitch I suppose? In this case, enough to fit another 20k people!

Once WHLII is open, how many opportunities like that will the OS miss out on?

Foo Fighters come back to London, who are they going to choose if presented with both options?

Much easier to get your drug of choice in Tottenham.

What a perfect match Wheelchair and West Ham !!!

 

[Kandi1977]

The question is, will he be able to complete the long walk to get to the pitch, without getting injured?

Good point. Maybe they could find some kind of chair, maybe even on wheels, to get him to and from the pitch.

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Him and Noble in midfield. I guarantee they will have a few good games together, early in the season - and then the Noble/Wheelchair for England campaign will go up through the gears.

And carry on long after they regress to their usual shabby standards.

 

[Glenda's Legs]

Can’t help wondering if Wheelchair is really what Pellegrini wants, or if it is Sullivan doing his own thing again?

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

I dont think there is much to wonder about, to be honest. Sullivan loves being cheap!

Let's call this new invention a chairwheel

There is nothing cheap about a three year contract* for wheelchair.

* I did read that right, no?

Nah, must be three match surely

West Ham would be open to Marseille's French attacking midfielder Dimitri Payet returning to the London Stadium if he lowers his wage demands. The 31-year-old left the Hammers in acrimonious circumstances 18 months ago. (Mirror)
