It seems to me that it is not such a 50/50 split and more seem in favour of the move. For those that are against though, there didn't seem to be that many worried when the Iclandics were looking at a new stadium being built? What is different other than the ownership of the ground?

I know the fella who just bought the Boleyn. Looks like a bad investment baring in mind the ground will be closed in a couple of years.

For me it is a no brainer and from most of the fans I know they agree. This season we are struggling to sell the tickets but go back a couple of years and barely any games reached genereal sale. At £45 + per match even against lowly teams such as Wolves it is no wonder. If Gold & Sullivan are true to their word that the move will allow them to reduce prices then great! Lets get some of the real fans coming back more often.

What sells it for me and something I have not heard Gold and Sullivan touch on is the transport system round the new stadium. There is a mainline station, DLR, Jubilee line etc etc. If I go to game by tube I am waiting an hour to get in the station. If I drive it takes an hour to get to any main road unless I want to leave the game 10 minutes early.

Upton Park, although I have very fond childhood memories is a dump. Time to move on.
