    Joking aside, that looks like scaffolded temporary seating lumped up for football, clearly the seats behind are for the athletic events.

    That looks like a hell of a botch up,as opposed to the stories of sliding and adjusting seats. That is not a permanent structure surely?

    Yep, reduced the capacity to 54,000. that's the problem with tracked stadiums too far away from the pitch.

    Not bad.



    club-record 56,977 supporters were in attendance as West Ham played their first league match at their new home, having left Upton Park at the end of last season.
