It’s eight-and-a-half years since West Ham left Upton Park for the London Stadium.
Despite a turbulent first few years in our new surroundings, the club has since gone on to enjoy it’s most successful period in a generation, including three consecutive years in Europe for the first time in the club’s history and winning silverware for the first time since 1980.
While many, many fans still understandably yearn for the good ol’ Upton Park days still, it is fair to say London Stadium and Stratford now feel more and more like home with every passing season. Indeed, it will never, ever top or replace Upton Park, but there’s no going back now.
Since the club’s opening competitive fixture at our new home – a 3-0 Europa League 3rd Qualifying stage victory over NK Domzale – we’ve been treated to an equal measure of highs, lows, disasters and embarrassments.
From beating the likes of Sevilla, Man United, Man City (on penalties), Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal, to losing to Astra Giurgiu (again!) to the infamous Burnley riots, we’ve seen it all since the move.
We’ve now played 200 competitive fixtures at London Stadium – that landmark came when we hosted Liverpool on December 29 – and therefore a number of records have been set at the ground, while there’s enough to start looking at how we’ve fared against certain clubs, which players have performed best there and what trends have come and gone during that time.
So here’s a list of the highs, lows, records and statistics from West Ham‘s London Stadium history so far – updated after every single home game.
