Former Hammer says London Stadium will take time

Former Hammer Paul Konchesky has given his opinion of the London Stadium as a fan.

The right-back who played 59 times for the Hammers between 2005 and 2007 and describes himself as a lifelong fan of the club told Sky Sports Fantasy Football:

“It (The London Stadium) doesn’t feel right really, going as a fan now. It doesn’t feel right sitting in that stadium and not Upton Park. It’s going to take time I think and hopefully they get that atmosphere back. I’d have to say West Ham at the Boleyn Ground when that’s rocking and especially in a big derby, the Chelsea’s, the Tottenham’s, Arsenal’s, Millwall’s, there’s no better place to go and play your football,” Konchesky told Fantasy Football Club.

“I am a West Ham fan but I just think the atmosphere there, and when them fans got behind you, it was a great place to play.”
