West Ham want stadium increase

West Ham are looking into the possibility of increasing the Olympic Stadium capacity to 60,000 before they move in next season as a result of high ticket demand. The Hammers are set to begin their 99-year tenancy at the 54,000-seater Olympic Stadium in Stratford in August and co-chairman David Gold said last month that he expects the club to sell every single seat at their new home. West Ham, who are preparing to leave the Boleyn Ground, their home for the past 112 years, at the end of the season, are now hoping to up the capacity of their new ground by 60,000.
