What, kind of like a detention?

I don't think that's very fair on those kids. They probably have a hard enough life without subjecting them to that brick

Continuing with the spin I see.
West Ham's record attendance is 42,322*.
*Against Tottenham Hotspur in a Division One (Old) match on 17 October 1970, when the North and South Banks were terraced, as was the old 'Chicken Run' to the front of the East Stand.
They turned out when a big club came along to be fair

In terms of both appearance for the area and in terms of a financially sound idea, Levy's idea of buy it and smash it to smithereens to build a new stadium in it's place was certainly the best one. Very happy we didn't move there though!
Also, means in a few years time we can remind West Ham fans that we considered there stadium so ugly and unusable that we planned to dismantle it if we ever got it!

Gold said: "We are hoping West Ham will be in a position very soon to worry the top five and have them saying: 'Who are these upstarts? Who do they think they are?'
"As far as challenging these great clubs, it's very very hard. Southampton challenged last season, and there's absolutely no reason why West Ham can't emulate them.

Love how they just completely ignore/overlook the fact that we finished above Liverpool and Soton and are also better than West Ham almost as if they are better than us already.

Maybe. He makes no reference to Spurs but we actually finished in the top 5 so that's how I took his quotes.
As an aside - i was around by the Olympic Park yesterday, my mate has a flat which overlooks the whole site, the Stadium may end up being pretty poor as a venue but the surrounding location gave me a slight tinge of jealousey - walking up Hackney Wick past the canals, loads of little bars/clubs dotted around - should be good
I wouldn't worry.
The place will be awful when it's full of scummy East End racists.

"The longer-term aim is we want to frighten the big boys of Chelsea, Emirates Marketing Project, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. We want the Big Five to be looking over their shoulders."
Doesn't included li'l ol' Tottenham. K N O B

Kind of flattering really. The deliberate omission speaks volumes.

Boro, Ipswich, Derby, Brentford and Wolves surely.
And he has a point, Soton built a good squad that got out of Lge One and scared the top 5 - Canning Town Bingo Club are very capable of doing that
Their biggest challenge will be how much the echoes disrupt the players on match day.
He's only doing what everyone would do. I doubt if it was reversed Levy would mention them etc.

The only problem with that is we finished above them. I get they us as their "rival", but it's almost like they are ignoring us like they don't have to worry about overtaking us also.

Tommy Harmer
That's like Levy saying we don't need to catch Arsenal.
Not quite - it's like Levy saying we need to 'break the top 4' without specifically naming Arsenal.
Not sure if he has or not

Tommy Harmer
Whilst mentioning the other clubs in the top 4 but not Arsenal.
Well yeah - it's just a petty way of not being seen to say their arch rivals are a big club. Unless he's not looked at the league table for the last 10 years and seen we're the 5th best team in the country
