West Ham should knock down London stadium and start again - expert

West Ham should knock down the London Stadium and start again, according to stadium expert Paul Fletcher.

The Hammers' move from their 112-year Upton Park home to the 2012 Olympic stadium last summer has seen its share of problems, with fan violence against Chelsea in the EFL Cup last month the latest and complaints about how far fans are sat from the pitch.

And Fletcher, who has built or advised on more than 30 new grounds including Bolton, Huddersfield and Coventry, says that it may be time to start afresh.

"Either we go on as we are for the next 30 or 40 years or we knock it down and start again," Fletcher told the BBC.
