​West Ham confident of filling Olympic Stadium

West Ham co-chairman David Gold has told Sky Sports that he expects the club to sell every single seat at the Olympic Stadium next season.

There have been some suggestions that West Ham will struggle to fill their new home, but Gold insists the club are well on their way to ensuring that will not be the case.

"Certainly over 30,000 tickets have already been sold. We expect to sell all the season tickets," Gold told Sky Sports.

"Everybody has believed that 35,000 at Upton Park that you are going to have empty seats with 54,000 seats at the Olympic Stadium. Well, we are going to sell those 54,000 [seats] and sadly there are going to be some disappointed fans."
