West Ham United fans have been given a glimpse behind the scenes of how their new Olympic Stadium home is taking shape.
The Olympic Stadium is on the horizon for West Ham
The Hammers brought the curtain down on 112 years of history at their beloved Boleyn Ground at the end of the season with a thrilling 3-2 victory over Manchester United.
And now all eyes are on their big move to the 60,000 seater Olympic Stadium down the road in Stratford.
The stadium transformation has been moving at a pace with the brand new club store set to open soon and the first seeds recently sewn on the pitch.
Now the club’s chief executive Karren Brady and Jack Sullivan, the teenage son of co-owner David, have given fans an insight into how their new stadium is coming along by posting a series of pictures on Twitter.

“The Royal East celebrates our illustrious history – including, of course, the West Ham Way.
“The Forge commemorates some of West Ham’s greatest achievements and landmarks.
