Probably another stupid question by me, but what is the logic of reducing the capacity from 80,000 to 58,000?
Just seems like a negative and unnecessary spend!

So West Ham supporters can lie down when they get bored.
some will be lost to segregation but not 22,000. Are they building hospitality boxes?
Need to check it out, but I'm almost sure they were talking about reducing the height of the entire structure!
Chancellor George Osborne has agreed an extra £25 million injection, with a £20 million loan from the Mayor, bringing the total cost of adapting the venue after the Games to £160 million — the vast majority from the public purse.
Fek me!!! Boris must be worth a few bob!

Some of the stadium was always designed to be temporary.
West Ham will struggle to fill it as it is so leaving it at 80,000 was not an option. Olymoic Stadiums are always a waste of money one way or the other.

Roughly how many times has it been used since the closing ceremony?
They had that anniversary games.....
I should have said that those stadiums are a waste if no long term plan - like Atlanta or Sydney. An 80,000 seat athletics stadium is a white elephant. No city should win a bid with a half billion quid stadium with no concrete long term plan.

No idea about AP, but I find it difficult to think up questions while I'm asleep.
If West Ham had an 80,000 seater their home games would look half-empty.

Not sure if it has been - they've been spending the last year and a half - or longer - doing the conversion, i.e. fitting retractable seating, new floodlights and putting a lid on to create a better/louder atmosphere. Final capacity will be 54k iirc.

It'll be used for the World Athletic Championships in 2017, so that's another 8 days accounted for.

You obviously have no idea about bubble machines do you

Yes John, I know that but it just seemed like a negative spend, that's all.
Unless they were going to be hit by a tax of a surfeit of seating, along the lines of the "Bedroom Tax"!
