London Stadium. 17:49 - Oct 5 with 2962 views | essexpaul64 | Well, in 50 years of going to football that was the worse stadium ive ever been in. Nothing to do with the result or who we played, no atmosphere whatsoever and i hope never to go back again. |  | | |  |

London Stadium. on 18:00 - Oct 5 with 2807 views | urbanpenguin | Yeah. Other than it being horrid to get in, no good design with all clunky construction in its conversion, crap sightlines, no atmosphere - other than all that, we paid for it and they only pay a few million a year and consequently have far more disposable income thanv other clubs because it was a tax payer funded project. |  | |  |

Tbf Man city managed it, buy I think the issue has always been it's a multi purpose stadium still, not a football ground |  | |  |

What can you say about a club that has Michael Jackson's favourite song as an anthem |  | |  |

This will go over many people’s heads… but I appreciate the humour. |  | |  |

Massive difference between the two. Eastlands was designed and built to be used for the commonwealth games then immediately converted into a football stadium for the mancs from the start. Whereas Stratford was a f up from the start. |  | |  |

London Stadium. on 23:22 - Oct 5 with 1707 views | Mercian | It's a fantastic stadium for watching athletics. It's almost as if it was designed for that sport. The Olympic Stadiums in Berlin, Munich, Rome and Paris have the same problem. France play the majority of their games in The Stade Velodrome. [Post edited 5 Oct 2024 23:27]

Just wouldn’t go and can see why so many of their fans stopped. Upton Park/Boleyn to that - I never thought I’d say it but I feel sorry for them. |  | |  |
