Stadiums do not riot. Stadiums do not smash seats. Stadiums do not throw bottles and coins. Stadiums do not shout abuse or punch you on the nose. Stadiums just stand there, unseeing, unfeeling. So let us turn from the preposterous notion that recent events at West Ham are the work of an unsatisfactory new arena.
People. That is the problem here. People who fight, people who destroy, people who taunt and abuse; uncivilised, violent, horrible people. That is what West Ham must be rid of, not the new stadium.
There will always be teething problems when a football club leaves home. Unfamiliar surrounds feel alien. Routes and haunts are altered, maybe the company too. Those lads you always used to have laugh with in the row behind might be in another part of the ground now. The new lot are all right but it’s not the same. Photos after the cut.
