Relegation should always be feared as there is absolutely no guarantee of a fast promotion. Yes, we were promoted after two seasons in 2005 and after one season in 2012, but there is no guarantee we won't do a Luton and spiral down to League 1 if we were to fall through the trap door this season (highly likely at this stage).
And we are one of the ten biggest clubs in England ( I would say we are the tenth biggest behind Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and Newcastle). It would make us a total laughing stock to go down yet again. Just like it made Aston Villa and Newcastle laughing stocks when they went down.
Just have a look at the BBC HYS comments every time we lose. Everyone laughs at us because they thought the fans hounded Moyes out. Those idiots don't realise Sullivan is the real cancer rotting the club.
Lazy morons just repeating what they are spoon-fed - which is largely arse gravy.
Moyes wasn't sacked - he refused to sign a new contract that out illustrious ownership drew up for him to sign.
His deteriorating relationship with the fans was absolutely nothing compared to the contempt between him and BS. I think it was only ever David Gold who he had some kind of mutual respect with.
The last 18 months of his tenure in the league were largely a disaster. It's not unreasonable for the fans to be upset with that. The mistake he made was not to go out on a career high point after winning the conference league.
It was generally accepted that it was the logical thing to do.
Nobody was to know how much more incompetent the meddling of our owners was likely to get. We knew they were flakey but I don't think anybody thought they would end up spunking the Declan Rice money as badly as they have.
But here we are...that is exactly what has come to pass

If we do go down I'm going to miss the streams, mostly. I won't miss dreading going to Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal etc, and we can finally avenge Wrexham.

There’s a couple of thousand at the England vs Brazil match although I’m sure we’ll be told it’s a 60,000 sell out.

Thinking ahead, to the season after next, how good are the crowds in League 1?
A Stark reality.

I’m ok with it, games are better and the competition is more evenly balanced. Makes for some good games.
The only people it hurts are the greedy owners. Hopefully we go down and stay there.
I'm not. All due respect to you being an overseas supporter but you wouldn't have to put up with the horrific thought of going in to that Stadium whilst possibly taking on the likes of Stevenage. That's going to be the reality that will dawn on everyone should we do the unthinkable and go down. The difference before was being at The Boleyn when it was enjoyable in the Championship as it was still raw and gritty in an actual Football Stadium with character where it was still fun. However the thought of having to see West Ham stage games in that Stadium even should BS finally fuck off is still a dreadful proposition.

I don't want to stay there long term but if it gets the current twats out then where do I sign?
Its' a huge risk now. The problem is we could fill UP in the championship and it was a daunting place for sides to come. I reckon that bowl is going to be half full at best in the Championship and it'll be like a training game for visiting sides. Plus that cսnt Sullivan wont fuck off when his valuation has been cut in half. He'll want to get us back up first.

2026/27 Championship season
London Stadium official average attendance - 00,009.
That's just the Directors left in the corporate box that care anymore to put up with that junk in that Shithole Stadium.
