Previous years London Stadium Survey results
Interesting results but I feel the survey almost undermines itself. Things that have improved or are clearly unchanged are being voted as worse this year. This makes it easier to ignore as it reflects our disappointment at team performance rather than the stadium.
It’s pretty obvious some fans from other clubs have completed the survey. On what planet would west ham fans want to pay more rent for the sake of it.
Time for Sullivan to take some decisive action and replace his senior management team. These results are truly reflective of the management and communication qualities of Brady and her team. Until she goes, the club and the fans will never be United
While I don’t disagree with some of the results the ONLY thing that has really changed with the stadium since last year is the performance of the team in it. If Haller had scored 15 goals, Fab had 10 clean sheets etc. the responses would completely different
It’s quite clear that the thirty odd percent that are disgruntled with everything are just scapegoat artists who want to lay the blame for poor results on the pitch on the owners or the stadium or anyone or anything. A lot of them will be fans of other teams of course trying to lay the boot in while the enemy is down.
People who have made connejts here have head in sand and are insulting other fans opinions . Wake up it is not performance related the place is awful every away fan that comes there agrees .
