Karren Brady sees a bright future ahead for West Ham

Vice-chairman Baroness Karren Brady says West Ham stars have turned down moves away from the club to be part of a future that includes a sold-out Olympic Stadium.

The Hammers move into their new home this summer and Brady has been talking to Sky Sports News HQ ahead of the stadium switch which she feels will be a gamechanger for the club.

Brady has revealed the venue will be sold out for every match of next season while she has also spoken about how the lure of an exciting future is keeping players at the club.

Are they getting rid of the running track ? Otherwise it will be like those continental games with the fans miles from the action.

I've seen the plans and they will have a roll out stand over the track for the games.

For the life of me how can you generate an atmosphere when you are so far from the actual contest? Reminds me of the old West German Olympic Stadium which was used by Bayern Munich.Here is a question can West Ham fill it ?????

I dont know the ins and outs. But as far as i can tell, they are getting a stadium on the cheap via the tax payer.

Pfft no chance it'll look like that, they'll never fill the thing.

If they stay in the Premier League, they will probably fill it, especially for 'big' games. Lots of tourists in London. It will change West Ham though. They will become a sort of East End version of Fulham. Don't be surprised if they have a 'neutral zone'. Expect loads of cheap, or even free, tickets to be given out. Upton Park it won't be!
