BETTER THAN UPTON PARK ⁉️ West Ham London Stadium Tour ⚒️ 

Just to confirm peeps - yep I’m a w@nker of a Glory fan 🤣 Thanks for watching & supporting the channel 👉🏾 don’t forget to check out the BOLEYN tour …as of typing this im outside Brentford’s ground so stay tuned for that video 😉👍🏾

Good watch but anyone who remembers Upton park, misses Upton Park!

Absolutely loved Upton Park as neutral proper football stadium

as an Aussie who has never been to the mother country and always being a West Ham supporter i really appreciated that . thanks

This was a very good and respectful video... good luck on your future tours.

I'm a QPR supporter but when we were playing away i would go to watch the other London clubs (apart from Chelsea) and Upton Park had a amazing atmosphere and i love those old grounds.

Thank you for this video. I like your accent. I was trying to place it so I'm glad you told us you're from Hereford. I've recently gone down the whole London Stadium rabbit hole. I'm not a West Ham fan but I think like everyone i admire their identity and culture and I like to see them doing well. As a sports fan and a patriotic Brit I am glad we have this kind of stadium in London. I understand the criticism from old West Ham fans but it has to be a good thing that East Londoners can afford reasonably priced EPL season tickets. Subscribed.

Hi have you ever done Olympiastadion tour in Berlin? The stadium is still fitted for athletics inside, and so there are loads of changing rooms (away team for Hertha have to go furthest from the tunnel), and indoor running track where they park the buses on match day! I'd also recommend Mainz, albeit a smaller club, and they have very modern, but nice stadium too! Love your channel! Southampton have a new safe standing section (believe it is like 2nd or 3rd biggest in the country) so I'd defo come down and watch us one day!

Thanks for this. " Better than Upton Park" well it is for Away teams and fans rather than playing on that tight pitch with the fans, mainly standing, right on top of the pitch, in an intimidating, hostile atmosphere right in the heart of their community (I know the ethnicity has, dramatically, changed) where the approach to the ground past TheWest Ham Pubs and Clubs was filled with trepidation but now it is like a DAY OUT JOLLY on a wide pitch and the most noise coming from the compact Awat End like Bristol City on Sunday.

Excellent video no hype just honest opinions and really like the idea of buying 1 thing in all the football grounds 👍New subscriber earned!

our new simplified bagde is actually what our badge was back in the 1950's. I prefer it as its more classic

Upton park has passion heart atmosphere.. Close to the pitch.. The new stadium is nothing... COYI

Good blog, Ry not a West Ham fan ,but always had a high regard for them.

I remember the castle being added and I’m glad to see the badge returned closer to it’s original state. COYI ✊

Upton Park was the most intimidating stadium with fantastic atmosphere… London stadium is not fit for purpose. The worst ground to watch football in Europe.

Very keen to see how you think Spurs compares. That tour was staggering. Hope you did the Skywalk and Abseiling too! Shame we both just missed the F1 karting.

Upton Park wasn't nice for away fans. Much better for them at the London Stadium.

Have some respect lad. It’s Sir Bobby Moore Sir Geoff Hurst & Sir Martin Peters. Only lads to win the WC for our country. ⚒❤️ … decent video pal. 👍🏽👍🏽

I was at Boleyn Ground once, 2011, and I did not catch the magic really. It was old, smelt bad and West Ham lost to Sunderland, 0-3. 😱 Went to London Stadium in 2019 and loved the experience and the stadium. 😊 Btw, the badge history, the castle wasn't always there. I'm 55, have the one with the castle tattooed on my arm but I prefer the new one. ⚒️😊

The Boleyn Ground not Upton Park....

I remember Upton Park was in the older fifas then West ham now have the London stadium.

Nice little cushion for your man cave ⚒️⚒️⚒️

Please dont ever put this place and upton park in the same sentence lol

Hi! I was working this day, I spoke to you about filming in other rooms for the vlog, sadly I couldn’t find you at the end of the tour - there’s always next time!

As a supporter of over 50 years, no, it isn't. Other than capacity which allows more fans (and tourists) to visit, it has no other redeeming features. A soulless bowl, sadly ⚒

Just admit it mate … it’s not fit for purpose … and they’ve done it on the cheap .. and owned by the council .. cheap tickets ( for London prices ) to fill stadium

The ground is falling down the top half of the stadium was only temporary and should of been brought down and put into a 25k athletic stadium the blueprint is bigger than Wembley knock it down and build us a football purpose built football stadium and then sell the rest of the land ⚒⚒

After watching the recent West ham v Man U game on Match Of The Day, apparently the attendance was 64,471 so I think the capacity might have recently been increased because I'm sure they have been asking for this to hapoen for quite a while

Upton Park a theatre of passion,noise,madness,hilarious banter.Could get from my house to UP in10/15 mins walk. Fill up in the supporters club and get to my seat in another 5 mins.Game over walk home again,another top up in the White Horse. Now it takes me 40 mins train ride from Wickford to Stratford, a 15 mins walk through picturesq Westfield to the ground.Queue up at security area to get searched and molested.Have a cheap concession meal,its only 11 quid for a bit of bread and a sausage,get to area J to queue to get in, thats if the ticket app is working,have a couple of pints before the game that costs over 14 quid,put my climbing irons on so i can climb the steps to my seat,have to watch players taking the knee,taking the mick more like.Sing bubbles before kick off. I still think we will win every game though and i am 71 years old. When we win i forget my pains and aches and toddle off home. Why do we do it? Stratford stadium comes nowhere close to UP.Keep the faith. COYI

while i prefer the atmosphere at the boleyn, if we stayed there our team wouldnt be as good as we are today and challenging for europe etc. It's important to have a high capacity stadium so we can get round the FFP stuff and allow us to put more money into buying players. Who knows maybe if we keep performing well qatar or saudi might buy the club and rearrange the pitch and seating to make the seats closer and make the stadium more of a fortress

As a commercial point of view for the club it’s been the best thing they have done but for us fans it’s destroyed so many things. The atmosphere being a massive a thing. Upton Park wasn’t rocking every game but it had that intimidation factor where this place just hasn’t. It’s sad seeing so many tourists in the place and we have lost a lot of hardcore supporters

Upton Park should have been refurbished. Olympic stadium is shit for viewing. Too far away from the pitch. Also the area surrounding Upton Park was a place for us locals to enjoy a few pints with some historic pubs!

i still think they should move all athletics to birmingham, in the middle of the country, with good transport links, then say to us (West Ham) we need to give the government an offer to buy the london stadium, and then we can buy it and convert it to a proper ground, i will say this, we have the best walk to a ground, can walk around the park in the summer and sit and enjoy the 1 day of sunshine with the family before going to football, unlike grounds like arsenal, sp"rs or liverpool, where it seems to be train to stadium and then back home again

Big up Hereford fc. Bowen's on fire and he's shagging # Iorns 🫧💜💙⚒️

A stadium that big will rarely ever be able to be filled for athletics events. The only events that could fill the stadium are the Olympics or World Championships.....which the UK probably won't host for another 40+ years, so I don't see the point in keeping the running track. That said, if they dug down, then the stadium could be a 100,000 seater..... could West Ham fill that?

West Ham fan here. The addition of "LONDON" to the new badge is a travesty.

While I am not keen on the new badge, they couldn't really keep the castle.

There should be a Billy Bonds Stand as well. No?

Bring back the castle. Football is for everyone Rich and poor

Agreed that the old WHU was way better

It's modern football, things move on, Boleyn ground was never going to be big enough. Is it perfect, no! But it's what we have & it's not going to change, move on. I've had a season ticket at both grounds & I'm up in the cheap seats in the London stadium, 1st season £284 & now it's around £360, in our seats under 21's & over 66 year olds is half that, thats affordable football in My mind. As for the badge, we had crossed hammers when we became West Ham United after being the thames iron works, the castle wasn't added until 1964.

Couldn’t expand Upton park due to permits and physical limitations.

Miles away

West Ham don't pay anything towards any adaptation, maintenance or running costs. They pay a flat £2m a year rent. Pretty sweet deal for them, but not so much for the Newham council tax payers who are subsidising them

It is not a proper football stadium it is big but you lose the atmosphere by being to far away from the pitch I support Wolves and we have the same problem with the stands being to far away from the pitch you at West Ham are right to get a higher capacity but not at the cost of being that far away from the pitch we need to double our capacity at Wolves but since Fosun have been in charge they have not seen a brick get laid.

No it’s shit no atmosphere bring back Upton Park

Using the soundtrack of bubbles from Upton Park to make that stadium seem better 😂. That stadium is the worst football stadium I’ve ever been to.

worst stadium atmosphere ever. I am a Leverkusen fan and when I visited, the guest blocks was really disappointing. The upper ranks couldnt hear the fan chants of the lower ranks, because they were seperated by 30 metres. And I think same goes for the westham fans because every block was singing sth else

No it’s NOT better, crap falling apart , too far from surface for football fans. Food is a piss take and I MEAN piss take, 3000 stupid do nothing marshals. Don’t want it it’s shit. Move us to our OWN ground !! Disgusted with the whole move/ stadium. ⚒born and bred⚒

Really big and boring stadium with no atmosphere in the middle of nowhere. Sad for all west ham fans, cause they hat a really nice one before. greetz from northern Germany.

Come on u O’s!

You are a glory fan considering your links and family supporting Hereford, there's no reason for you to support the Manchester reds, however in saying all of this, we are better than them right now so meh. On the badge, I agree I prefer our previous badge, but if you go back further, the current badge is actually more akin to our heritage, that plus we don't have the castle anymore so doesn't maker complete sense to have it on our badge, also there's some interesting history to the current badge in that the shape of the badge is actually that of the insignia of the last ship, themes ironworks built which I thought was quite interesting. agree on the London thing but we are based in London so meh Finally just to say, I prefer the experience of the London stadium, I don't get to go very often and only went to UP around 5 times or so and I was in my teens when we played there but equally, it signifies a lot of what I personally dislike about football, the saying goes we sold our soul for a plastic bowl, I think football sold its soul a long time ago, in saying all of this - the LS is decent and while it needs a lot of work still, in 10 - 20 years I'm hopeful it has the potential to be one of the best grounds in the premier league, thank god it doesn't have a cheese room.

West ham sell tickets through tourist offices. The atmosphere is terrible

It was given to them after the Olympics . This isn’t right as it was paid for by the taxpayers

Hate the new stadium not the same as Upton Park BG was atmosphere not as good. Say it as it is it's not a football stadium it's an Athletic Stadium. Wrexham ground has a better atmosphere just watching their TV Doc with less fans. Wasn't built to be a football stadium. Bad decision moving.

I was enjoying your film until you started waffling on about why you don't understand why so many of the WHU fans want Moyes out. Can I recommend that you actually turn at the ground when we are playing and try to stay awake as the negative dinosaur bores the fans asleep with his dismal negative style of play and then form a opinion????!!! Moyes has been given £450m to spend on players over the past 4 years, so there is no excuse for his 11 men behind the ball so called tactics .... MOYES OUT!

upton park was better

Upton Park great for it's time but far far too small and a nightmare to get too.

The Taxpayer Stadium is a dump.

Moyes out ASAP ,because he is tactically inept and belive me doesn't like playing our grest young kids if he can help it #GET moyes out ASAP 😠 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩 💩
