As a West Ham fan, your review of the ground was very fair. The atmosphere is normally worse than what it was today. Only good atmosphere on European nights. Food & Drink options are terrible and overpriced. Location is only good for home supports who have easy access to Stratford station. The song " you sold your soul, for this shit hole" is what we hear every game and every West Ham fan agrees. Aston Villa's away support is always top tier. Good luck for the rest of the season.

I’m a West Ham season ticket holder and thought your review was fair on all fronts except location. The stadium is so easy to get to from anywhere in London, it’s one of it’s few redeeming features. Very difficult to create atmosphere in the stadium, no character to it and the food and drink options are poor and expensive. West Ham fans are proper football fans but it's hard to make up for this stadium. Good to hear your perspective, I like Villa - proper fans!

I’m a West Ham fan but wanna say a great video guys fair comments on the bowl the only thing worse is the football Moyes serves up. Best of luck in Europe and getting in top 4 to piss the greedy 6 and media off!

Good video. Yes, a lot of us Hammers can't stand it there. At least you only have to visit once a season. Good luck the Villains for rest of the season 👍⚒️

Nice to see and hear the Villans pipe up now they have actually got a decent team. Most WHUFC fans would probably agree with you about the stadium. Lets hope you stay humble

Glad you mentioned the idea of Villa moving to a new stadium. There was talk of one at the NEC shared with the Blues. Jesus, be careful what you wish for. If this vid doesn't kill it dead I don't know what will. Villa away from Villa Park just wouldn't be right. I feel for the Hammers fans losing the Boleyn. That was a good point for the lads. I had it down for a draw in my run in spreadsheet and with Spuds being mashed at Fulham, Villa are now back on track for 4th despite being 3 points adrift of my predictions (thanks to last week) at this stage of the season. Far be it for me to be critical of Unai but I do wish he'd settle on his best back four, Cash, Konsa, Torres, DIgne imho!

What a vid Max! Keep up the class content.

Even the walk back to the tube station is a nuisance.

Nice one lads .. love it ! 💪🏻✌️ Up da Villa!

I am a hammer through and through and a season ticket holder I enjoyed watching your video and totally agree the whole place is a soleless s**t hole. Even getting to the train station after a game is such a great experience not! For me Upton Park all day and its such a same for supporters home and away not to experience a proper traditional ground and atmosphere Don't let them do it to you guys stay at Villa Park. I have seen a few good games over the years at Villa Park including a couple of semi finals and not so good semi finals (Forest springs to mind) lol I thought we had the first half and you the second. I actually thought you were going to win it, you were going for it while we reverted to low block Moyes Ball second half with some strange subs Johnson for Antonio, really....... I think that was a record length VAR at the end and as you say no ones knows what is happening. Keep goal line tech and f**k VAR off. Its killing football, I don't think any true fan wants VAR. Good luck for the rest of the season Dave COYI

Something new for this season that you didn't mention is that new 'wall' on your left between home and away, making it even bloody worse than it was last season. As a West Ham supporter it's quite frankly embarrassing that we moved from UP to this shit hole.

Great video again Max - you are my link to Villa these days. A BIG Up The Villa from me here in sunny Indonesia.

Another great video Max!

You manager made great changes, ours put us on the back foot. As a football fan, surely you can see that and maybe understand why so many West Ham fans want Moyes out. All we get on social media and the press is we're idiots for wanting him out. I'm not Moyes out but I empathize with those that are. You're right about the stadium and atmosphere but believe it or not there have been improvements. As for the game, VAR gave you a get out of jail card but a fair result overall. Good luck in Europe, you have a great chance.

“He looks lost that bloke”😂😂😂

In response to the person who said this is clickbaity, if youve been there as an away fan youll know its not clickbait. Its a great stadium. But it isnt a FOOTBALL stadium. Its awful for atmosphere. And the away end, the top and bottom tiers are miles from eachother. Impossible to build an atmosphere. Its soulless.

‘yesss’ ‘come on’ ‘get in there’ followed by ‘he looks lost that bloke’ 🤣

Well Played, game could have gone either way second half! Great Vlog

So glad we (PNE) rebuilt Deepdale in the same footprint as the old one rather than the plans they proposed for building a bigger one on the docks where the size wouldn't have been restricted by houses and roads around Deepdale. But you have to stay at your home ground, it's a part of every club's history. I can understand if you make the EPL and have a 10,000 capacity wanting to relocate if it's your only choice. But not moving also keeps our record of the oldest continuously used league stadium and the stadium that has hosted the most league games. Moving to the docks, which would have been miles closer for me personally would have been a terrible idea.

West Ham fan here. Totally fair comments. We all miss The Boleyn but football has moved on and is now sadly about money and not the fans. All the best for the rest of the season. Keep the Europa Conference title in claret and blue!

Popcorn at the football. Someone with no idea about football has come up with that one I reckon. I only went to Upton Park once but it was a proper football ground with great atmosphere as everyone says. My only problem there was that we blew a 2 goal lead that day. We never did any good there either. I think that's a decent point today. I would have taken it before the match. We really have got to get as many home wins as we can though starting against Wolves. We certainly owe them one. UTV

"YESSS GET IN THERE YESSSSSSS" "He looks lost that bloke" "YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS" Creasing 😂😂

The food at the stadium is a 1/10. They also installed a wall recently to block home fans and away fans, which you might have noticed. 2/10 stadium only gets a 2 because of its capacity

morning mate , Ade the hammer living in Cannock , spot on m8 . Have taken the mrs down 4 times , top tier . Easier to see Saturn thru a telescope than the game itself , lol . Overpriced and a massive rip off for food m8 . A very fair report bud .

Walked past the stadium towards the end of the game when I heard the stadium explode and thought West Ham had scored - turned out it was the Villa goal! You guys did put some nice atmosphere there

Good review - as a West Ham fan I thought it was very fair. Good luck in the Europe Conference Cup

Fair comments. Food & drink is handled by the stadium owners that West Ham rents from. Overpriced and limited. I rarely buy anything. If the club buys the stadium that should improve.

Don’t forget the tills were down for all of half time in part of the away end!

Hopefully one day they will have a better stadium. Dunno where it could be located though?

The Zaniola shush is pretty obvious hes obviously aware of the criticism from fans, there's a good player there

Good video fellas...you're bang on and not the only fans to say what you've said. In fairness you were lucky you weren't in the top tier as well...the views from there, so I've seen from away fan pictures, are atrocious! You've no need to move out of Villa Park tbf. West Ham, probably, did need to move from The Boleyn Ground as the plans for 45K development were never going to come to fruition and weren't workable from a logistical perspective as it was a nighmare getting 36k in and out of Upton Park as it was. But the Toilet Bowl was never the answer. Your point about singing bubbles twice is probably worth some perspective on. Players come out of the tunnel to it the first time. Just before kick off the second. So when the first ball is kicked it's around the 'Fortunes Always Hiding' crescendo...giving the players a boost. I have no issue with that. It's trying to seek an advantage like your American owner did when he moved away fans from behind the goal to the side of the pitch (which I thought showed initiative and understanding of the game). Best of luck for the rest of the season...would be great to see yous get 4th.

Ah great video once again it makes my day watching them

Great video Max!! Might see you against Wolves!!!xxx

location is 10/10 for home fans, stratford international a 5 min walk from the ground and very easy to travel to

Love your optimism, but I was thinking of a draw before the game and wasn't thinking we'd win at all.

Great point better second half move on to the next utv great stuff from you lads

Good point to get, especially with West Ham's disruptive style that gets them results. Is Emery prioritising the Conference League too much?

New sub from Rotterdam The Netherlands 👍🏻

I think with zaniolo shushing the fans is abit of frustration all round... it aint worked out for him with us and he has got the talent... hopefully he can kick on for last bit of season

Thanks as always Max.Great point. All the pundits waiting for us to fail. 4th place with 9 to go. We would all take that. Big game next against Wolves. Mind you there all big. A very happy Guernsey Pride. UTV 😀👍💜💙

It’s the worst. My friend is German. He visited there with Frankfurt and could not understand why no one sings. Where is the flags. Tyfos. Nothing for European nights. It’s dead stadium. The club need to create a ultras stand

This show has only been put on here to ease the pain of when we have to move. This is the first signs, For moving West Ham‘s football ground, maybe Southend Raleigh just off Canvey Island, Basildon and marches,,,

What a turgid first half of football. Absolute shite coming out from the back. Better in the second half, but we were lucky to escape with a point.

Thanks for doing the video. Us West Ham fans encourage every team to call out that soulless bowl for the pile of shit it is. Sold our soul is right but we were well and truly conned. When the move was happening they showed us graphics and illustrations that made it look like Bayern Munichs Allianz stadium, we were told the seats would go over the running track right up to the pitch. It all turned out to be lies. Cant wait for the day we sell and hopefully move.

Zani must av been confused by the colours ha ha ha ha

Was a tough game happy to not lose I would have taken a draw before the game. I saw that Duran was playing I thought that could possibly be some physical presence to disrupt their backline. However it left us light in midfield as Duran is not a number 10 type player. I had to laugh at he looks lost that bloke😂. Zaniolio so pleased for him finished well.Need to be better against Wolves they will raise their game for us always do.

Can understand why Unai made the changes. We were always going to miss the energy and bite of McGinn so bringing in two youngsters in Duran and Rogers they should run all,day for you. Problem is Duran didn't ! Much better second half. I think we missed JJ the and that game would have suited him, he is my h more mobile than the Hammers midfield and would have caused them problems. Hopefully we'll have JJ back in the side along with McGinn after Man City. Keep going lads...UTV
