Boleyn magic or stadium atmosphere?

This ?

Ok, there’s Boleyn protestors out there for sure and we understand their issues but here’s a question surely worth asking as we approach the mid point of this season.

Are we ready to call the London Stadium home – and truly mean it?

Sadly ill health stopped me being at yesterday’s game but the noise and atmosphere was as thunderous and passionate off the box as it had been when I was inside the place for the Liverpool victory and – come to that – the horrible last minute issues against United.

…or this?

The opening game of the season against Leicester was another amazing night when the place – like since – rocked as we brushed the Foxes aside 4-1 whilst the vibe on European nights has been fabulous.

Like all of you my great footballing moments until now are buried down in Green Street but buried is the key word and every visit to the stadium this season has been an entirely new experience.

And I reckon it’s the atmosphere in that place – generated of course by the fans – which is adding around 20 per cent to the squad’s game. Jarrod Bowen said as much in his latest interview when describing the atmosphere as “electric.”

My biggest problem with the place is the walk from Stratford International to the Billy Bonds and the lack of street traders but beyond that I’m happy.

And once inside when the team turn on the sort of performances they have been doing I don’t find Upton Park entering my head if I’m truly honest about it.

Please discuss – I’d love to hear your views for fear or favour!
