Does the stadium feel like home now?

For me it does.

Today was up there with any atmosphere I've experienced at a home game since 1994.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Someone asked me in 2018:

“Have you ever been to London Stadium? I loved it! Every time I walked out there and heard “Bubbles”, the hair on the back of my neck stood up.”

That someone was a certain David Moyes, six weeks or so after the board had released him in favour of Pellegrini. I wonder what he makes of it now!

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

I agree. If the team are playing well, the atmosphere will follow!

The Boleyn Ground amplified the crowd. 2/3 full, it gave the advantage of clubs' full houses.

The London Stadium reflects it. If we're already flying, it's great. But it won't get us flying.

TBF, I've never been to the LS. But that's what it feels like over the streams.

*OTHER clubs' full houses*

The atmosphere at Upton Park was often crap come the end. It’s not so much the atmosphere but more about what felt like home, and Upton Park was our home

And it’s Upton Park not the Boleyn Ground

Doesn't matter the stadium, its the team winning and the fans enjoying it...fucking magic today, fucking massive

It was bouncing. It does when we play well and beat a bitter rival and/or a big boy. Long may it continue.

Can you imagine, though, if 60,000 fans were as close to the action as Upton Park and we played that game?

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Go to the LS and be part of this. Have a few beers, make some noise, enjoy the game, celebrate the team.

Upon Park is flats, it isn't going to change.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Sounded amazing on my TV. The Spanish commentators even commented on what an incredible noise was being made by the West Ham support.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Steady is right.

We all knew it was officially the Boleyn Ground. But West Ham fans NEVER called it that.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Logically 60000 people together can be as noisy as they want. Really think a good atmosphere, or not, will reflect how well the team is doing. 0-1 down at home to Stoke on a cold Tuesday night, no doubt it would be fucking horrible in there.

Was wondering, when we first moved there were a lot of complaints about people not being where they wanted to be, not togetherwith pals, or in with different 'types' of fans, ie scarfers and flaskers in with chavs and the loud type etc. has this been sorted to an extent as the years have gone on, if so will also surely help with the atmos?

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

We will never be 1-0 down to Stoke in the London in a Tuesday night.

I’m in an area that stands all game and sings all game. Yesterday I could hear noise from everywhere in the ground. Some areas were literally jumping. Its got more and more like this this season and it happens when we are winning.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

It's not about us, it's about the new generation, the 10 year olds and above.

The new badge, the new stadium, it belongs to them and their future.

We are there for the start of this ride and were there for the end of the previous.

No matter what, just try to enjoy it, coz we're fucking massive.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

When the third goal went in the stadium was rocking. Loudest I've ever heard and the whole place jumping. Loving it.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Threw my toys out of the pram when we moved and refused to go.
My youngest asked for me to take him to the spurs game for his birthday so I broke my boycott.

I think it helped that we were up near the spurs fans (and the result), but I have to say I really enjoyed it - cracking view and a really good atmosphere.

Went to the City game a few days later and that was a bit more soulless - lots of tourists (saw one guy wandering around downstairs in a Liverpool jacket for fucks sake).

Sounded fucking good on telly last night - I think yes, the stadium CAN be home - we need to crack on with these results if we are to make it home though.

This is how I'm beginning to see it and it's a good point. In 10 years plus we will have so many fans who never even went to Upton Park. With possibly owning the stadium with a capacity of maybe 67000 and hopefully some positive changes to the stadium, and the outside too, dare I say it the move may well have been proved a success.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

It’s much better over there now but there’s still improvements they could make.

Why don’t they put the big screens at the back of the stand behind the goals and fill in the bit where the screens are now with seats.

Re: Does the stadium feel like home now?

Yeh, was rocking over there and the liveliest since we’ve moved there i reckon.
All little mobs (of the younger lot) establishing their own patches and coming together as one when need be. (creating a good atmosphere)
The squad all fully focused and confident. All
due to Moyes and his hoppos.
Keep it going West Ham!
