David gold has confirmed that we have asked for the capacity of the OS to be increased to 60 thousand because of demand which is fantastic news if your not a taxpayer in London!.
season ticket demand has outstripped what is available and a huge waiting list now has to be addressed seeing as those who will miss out will have paid £10 for the privilege to do so and asking for the extra capacity seems a nice way to try and show that they are working on this....of course Ms Brady earlier in the week had said that the capacity really could not be improved because of sightlines for the fans as in distance from the pitch but in a hard nosed business world I find that hardly likely to of even been considered then the obstacle of more toilets and concession stands are required if capacity was increased mmmm what happened to those then when the Olympics were on? have we ripped them out in a refurb?....anyway all this is supposedly being considered but I wonder if they have actually considered the non season ticket holder? those of us who because of work or maybe on a small income can only afford 2 maybe 3 matches a season who are as passionate as any west ham fan but circumstance prevents them buying a season ticket even at the low prices....I admire the way the club have marketed the move and the fact that many tickets given to local schools/projects etc to encourage a new groundswell of support for the club is indeed a fantastic move but with so few regular matchday tickets being available many will be disappointed next season and that will be hard to take for life long supporters so I hope that if the capacity is increased make some of it available to the supporters who cannot regularly attend matches and not just to season ticket holders..COYI
It's well known ( by those
It's well known ( by those with half a brain anyway) that I am a long standing admirer of G and S ( just for the record where are those gobby twats that decried them from day one we don't seem to see much of them on here now) and I don't think for a minute THERE WILL BE NO TICKETS for " the ordinary fan" ( of which I include myself).
I think everything up to now has been " a very clever marketing ploy" to sell a certain amount of season tickets/members packages and whatever else with quite a bit of spare in the system.
Do the maths.
Yes we are selling out games at present but it's rare ( maybe Spuds/ Arse etc) that you can't get a ticket for right up till the last minute.
Then think about the fact there is 24,000 more seats to fill?!!
I could be entirely wrong but I think this move WILL MAKE IT EASIER ( and cheaper) for " casual fans" to attend and with the lower prices and more attractive location this is a long term plan to make us more accessible on a game to game basis.
I do hope your right!!
I do hope your right spurs....

Those that decried Gold and Sullivan ( without giving them a chance) are wanks.
