One of the most frequently asked questions by West Ham Band 4 season ticket holders is where will their seats be and what will their view will be like at the Olympic Stadium.
And tonight, ClaretandHugh can show you!
The club have stayed tight-lipped saying season ticket holders will have to wait until their appointments, which start in December and run through until February next season, to find out.
Band 4 supporters include those currently in the Sir Trevor Brooking upper and lower, Bobby Moore Stand lower as well as corner of the Betway West Stand at the Boleyn Ground.
My own season ticket is also in Row R of the lower stand of the Sir Trevor Brooking in Band 4. This virtual image taken secretly at the Stratford West Ham Reservation centre shows what a Band 4 lower tier view would be like. It looks similar to the view I have now at the Boleyn Ground.
If the ball goes behind the goal you will still need a taxi to get it back…!!!
Im sorry but im struggling to see how this has any similarity to even the furthest seat away from the pitch behind the goals in the lowers at UP.If you take into account the distance from the pitch to the start of the seats how the hell can it be.
The distance behind the goal was always going to be a stumbling point. Despite all if the postive marketing hype about sight lines it is quite clear the view is totally different to the Bobby Moore lower. When you consider that most supporters with an actual voice sit behind the goal I expect this will become a major issue when people realise the difference with the new seats behind the goal at the OS.
Trouble is that lower tier behind the goal holds 3,000 whilst the other end is not for sale.
We currently have 7,000 band four season ticket holders…….you do the math.
