To progress we must move as many have said. We can all pine for when football was football and the old terraces created better match days etc etc, but fact the game has moved on and those that look back will die a painful death!! We can not compete with the top 10 sides in the prem if we stay at Upton Park. I have been a season ticket holder for 15 years and been going to UP for over 25 years. Whilst I love match days and going to UP, the infrastructure around the OS will be fabulous, it will be a more pleasant journey in, the facilities will be better (you might actually be able to get a beer at half time) and we will get bigger gates than we are getting at UP. Whether this is 50,000, 60,000 or just 37,500 at the start does not matter to me IF the maths works. Re atmosphere, lets not fool ourselves the atmosphere in many parts of UP has gone unless it is a really big game. I am a Bobby Moore lower fan and that is one of the best areas for atmosphere. Even there it is hit and miss. I was in the Dr Martins twice in Dec and Jan and whilst I had great views the atmosphere is dire!! The best atmosphere at UP over the past 15 years has been when we were in the championship with a 3/4 fill ground. If we can cut some of the ticket prices we will get some proper fans back and they will help make the atmosphere what it was. That said No track and it must be branded a west ham ground if we can get it.
