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."
