West Ham Essex?

"Geo and Gonzo discuss what could happen if inventors bought the land around the ground, and new owners built a new ground for us in Essex. Link: https://youtu.be/7ly64pzBCNE?si=cGxKgZToao5WFi-- If that were to happen, how would that make you feel? The main argument seems to be that moving could work as Essex is the heartland of our support. However, where in Essex could handle the 60,000 people? Another reason it would be problematic is because where we are ships in people from different parts of the south-east. Moving to Essex makes that journey difficult for people. Personally I think it would be an horrific idea. I’m an East Ender and have no affiliation or attachment to the county, and moving the club further east would be a nail in the coffin of the football club for me. In fact, moving to other parts of East London would be out of the question. Let’s imagine the club decided on a plot of land in Chingford! Technically East London, but no connection to the club or its history."

"it pains me enough to see all the lads roll up from southend all decked out in baker boy caps method acting the role of a dodgy east end market trader from the 1950s despite never having lived within the m25, for me to go the other way to see them do it might be the final straw."

Not sure on the idea of inventors buying us though.

I haven’t watched this yet but see this being discussed on Twitter yesterday. Seems like the current shareholders are looking to reduce their ownership so a new 25% owner can come in. Look like they are targeting the Arabs.
