Advantages: All of those fans who can't make it all the way from Essex may not have an excuse

Disadvantages: 80,000? R U Sure?

Are plans for an 80,000 seater stadium in Stratford really gonna help West Ham reach the holy grail status of becoming one of the 'big 6'? At the moment you couldn't get 800 people to watch that rag-tag bunch of rabble, let alone the projected 80,000. And all so we can help the Great British Olympic Bid for 2000 and something. Let's stay at the Boleyn, with its square pitch and morgue-like atmosphere. So we're having extra tiers put onto one of the stands - big deal, just so another 3,000 fans can pay up to £40 a game and then just sit back mute with their arms folded...

Nothing's ever dull at The Hammers though, eh?!?
