Worst ground I've ever been to. Absolutely soul destroying.

That’s the best thing about it- how quickly you can get away from it after the game.

Its horrendous getting away from there apparently, watch West Ham fans start leaving on 75 mins

Yeah, we left on 81 minutes last time as we were there for absolutely ages trying to get out the year before by car.

It's made worse for away fans as they block off the access and make you walk the long way back round.

Walk to Pudding Mill Lane station instead of Stratford and there’s no crowd and no police blocks.

Spot on. The worst “football ground” I’ve ever been to. I should have brought binoculars with me to watch the game i was that far from the pitch.

It's quick to get to, one stop from Kings Cross. Getting away though is hideous, and I expect Pudding Mill Lane is absolutely no use whatsoever for 99.9% of away fans!

Upton Park was a pain to get away from as well, even though the Tube was just across the street.

Last time I walked to East Ham and got on there

Yeah I saw that, and the premium Holte queue jumping I hadn’t thought about.

2/7/21  So my 2yo went on the list at 5months old. I regret not doing it sooner.

1/6/22 “number 12,553 on the waiting list currently”

7/9/22 Season tickets are sold out for the 22/23 season.  # 12136

11/22 told over 27k on w/list. (I forget what it’s up to now?)

24/4/23 email # 12,118 on list

Not happening soon is it!

Will update this with the new position if they send it out, presume they might now sold out?

So my nearly 2.5yo has been invited to splash the cash on the terrace view today.

Of note
"Please be aware that this does not count as one of your waiting list strikes. As per the waiting list terms and conditions, if you do not purchase a Season Ticket after being invited to do so on three separate occasions, you will be automatically removed from the Waiting List. This does not apply in this instance."
beyond that not v obvious what entitlement it brings, even with briefest of looks to FAQ....

It gives you two pints and a programme in an area which used to be free but now has a couple of benches in it so they're charging entry. In addition, you get a seat in the Upper Holte which could be absolutely anywhere. You won't find out until the ST gets delivered to you.

For this, the price is £1,560, compared to the £1,260 the package would cost to Holte Upper Season ticket holders who were offered it. Whilst you renew that ticket, you can't relocate it anywhere else and your waiting list spot doesn't move. I think the £300 is a 'just because we think enough of you will pay it' fee.

I got a invite, the link/page doesn’t even work.

This is an excellent summary of what I have heard.  Although some have been told if they take it up they are no longer on the ST waiting list, which is a massive flaw if true.

I've seen pics of an area of the lower Holte that has been remodelled for disabled and also terrace view ? Thats how its described anyway

Worst ground I've ever been to. Absolutely soul destroying.

Spot on. The worst “football ground” I’ve ever been to. I should have brought binoculars with me to watch the game i was that far from the pitch.

I’ve been high up in the side stand for athletics and I imagine that is fine for football too as it’s a single tiered bank. The away end is indeed the most soul destroying stand in football with a colossal gap between upper and lower and a Berlin Wall construction on the left. All a small train ride from the pitch, which is probably why the atmosphere is abysmal.

Re attendances, a mate tells me their tickets are surprisingly cheap for London and his lad pays
£100 per season.

they've got sheff utd tickets up for £68, the only chelsea tickets left are £199 in a corporate lite type area
I went there for the Olympics and the view was great watching runners on the track but shot put / javelin was miles away so watched on the screen
