Block 106 row 21.
I really like it and a load of people I know ended up around me. The new chaps who sit behind me seem a decent lot but of course all that could change with a loss or three.
Slightly to my right and down about seven rows was Scotty Parker and his boy so I'm guessing I'm near some very expensive seats. In that, the posh bit, it was interesting to note that literally nobody stood at any point during the game and I couldn't see a single person who sang Bubbles.
If I was a budding sociologist I'd be tempted to say that money doesn't make you any happier beyond being able to get the next round in. Probably more truthful to say it's the prawn sandwich brigade who don't really support us and were just there for a gawp at the new stadium.
Naturally, those types get the best fucking seats in the whole stadium.

I'm in block 147 row 22. View is really good, noone sits down and we're quite vocal.
Very happy. The walk back to Stratford is a bit of a pain, but i'll live with it.

In block 216 near to away fans, better atmosphere than I thought, sound does not get lost in the large stadium as some feared, Bournmouth fans sounded loud at times and good response from West Ham fans particularly from blocks 113 and 114 and obviously when we scored prompting mass bollocking for the cocky south coasters who I think were pretty confident of taking a point.
When our fans get to know their area and the people around them the atmosphere will get better especially for the big games.
Getting to and into the stadium has been easy, however leaving the OS so far has been a drain especially if you are heading to Stratford station.
Crowd control have got to improve this and at times the large number of stewards have been more of a hinderance than help.
Getting to Stratford International is easiest if you leave opposite entrance H across the bridge.

24 rows back in Block 134.
Not quite high or close enough for my liking, but probably about as good as I could expect.

Yep. Block 202. Good view although I have established the fine details of hand movements/shirt pulling is relatively unnoticable causing my judgement to become tainted. But for the price you can't complain.
Atmosphere seems fine and the people around us seems alright as well, enough there to have a laugh with. Except the twat who called Nordtviet shit after 25 seconds on Saturday.
*I also like the part when you reach the bottom of the aisle stair case and turn into the outter concourse. You're met with a nice view and a lovely breeze.
*may change in December

I was in the very front row of the east lower for the Domzale game. Decent view, but the one from about 8-12 rows back was absolutely cracking. If I had the money I'd definitely upgrade to that area.

Let me guess, the SHORT SHORTS AND GOGGLEBOX'ERS hate their seats and they've already made their feelings known in an almighty camp huff?!

Half my enjoyment has been laughing at older people struggling up the stairs, though I reckon it will claim a life before long, as there's no fucking way the St John's will be getting there sharpish enough to save them.

No. I'm about 4 times as far away as I was at UP for the same price ticket. Both goals are at least 100m away.
Plus all the facilities are at ground level, so a trip for a drink/piss means about 200 steps each way. There are people around me who are actually old and who are even less happy. I often hear grumbling about being mis-sold their seat, and I agree with them.

In Block 135, Row 22 and it lacks atmosphere. The people in the immediate area are nice enough, I just expected a little passion and participation. Views are good, was East Side Lower, front row at the Boleyn.
Could not get to the Westfield to choose the seats so its my issue.
Not sure where to move to as only been to one game so far, will have a good look round on Thursday.
Have emailed the club asking if they can introduce a seat swap scheme.

Was West Stand behind tunnel and BG. New seats 108 Row 19 and think it is quality. Loads of room both sides of seat and legroom much better.
Granted bit further back and slightly lower it feels but happy and very similar to picture shown at booking.
Things to improve on for sure at the ground but will take little bit of time.
