After 112 years at the Boleyn Ground, the Hammers will call the Olympic Stadium in east London their home from 2016/17.The stadium was originally expected to hold 54,000 people but, due to heightened demand, the capacity has increased by 6,000 seats to 60,000. Thats a significant increase on 35,345 capacity of the Boleyn Ground.

The extra 6,000 seats take West Hams capacity beyond Man Citys Etihad Stadium Old Traffords expansion over the years has propelled Manchester Uniteds famous ground up to the ninth biggest stadium in Europe, while the Emirates and Celtic Park (60,500) are the only other British grounds to make the top 20.The additional seating at the Olympic Stadium has moved the Hammers new home above Manchester Citys Etihad Stadium, Valencias Mestalla and Atletico Madrids Vicente Calderon.The move was not met with unanimous approval from all fans, who still feel a great deal of affection for their spiritual home in Upton Park, but Tony Gale insisted the move is exactly what the club needs to keep pace in the Premier League. West Ham have been performing on the pitch too It had to be done, you have to move on, Gale told Sky Sports News HQ. Arsenal had to move out of Highbury into the Emirates Stadium, thinking about the long term.The only worry is that it might take a long time to generate the same atmosphere of the Boleyn Ground.Hopefully the club will go from strength to strength.

Rowleys not the biggest suit in the field Rowleys disqualification surprised Curtis Lyon, the high performance director for Canada Ski Jumping. "The suit was legal the last time we tested it," Lyon said, according to the CBCs Doug Gelevan. Loose suits can create lift, allowing athletes to fly farther. "He definitively doesnt have the biggest suit in the field," Lyon said. "Its not technically cheating in ski jumping, if you look around some of the guys suits are definitively baggier. Maybe they just know how to manipulate them better (in testing) the way they stand, the way they pull it up. "Its definitively a rule management issue. So maybe we have to work with [our athletes] on that." ' ' '
