West Ham were erring too, they wouldnt pay more otherwise they would have paid more.
That makes no sense. They obviously wanted to pay as little as possible. Assuming you're not one of the owners, you wouldn't know what their limit was.

I'm fascinated to see what it'll eventually look like inside. Stadiums where the fans are some distance from the pitch often lack atmosphere. Upton Park is a classic, hemmed in venue, with the crowd breathing down the players' necks. I can't imagine how the new place will in any way replicate that, so it's going to be a huge leap for the players.

Wembley is the same though, in the Upper tier you're miles away.

Its a shame though another classic English ground will soon be a housing estate.

it would have made far more sense to pull down the Olympic stadium to build a massive estate there. Upton park is a pretty pokey spot.
