Club formed in 1895

On one side of the ground is the impressive looking Dr Martens Stand that was opened in 2001. This large two tiered stand, has a capacity of 15,000. Its most striking feature can only be seen externally, where an elaborate facade comprising of two castle turrets has been built around the reception area entrance.

The turrets have been model l ed on those appearing on the club crest. I t is nice to see a Club actually trying to instill some character into a new stand. It currently sits a fair distance from the side of the pitch as this is intended to be move d 15 metres West , if and when the rest of the ground is re-developed.  Opposite is the smaller two tiered East Stand. This older stand was opened in 1969. Both ends are large, smart, two tiered stands. A n electronic scoreboard in one corner. Just outside is a handsome statue of England Captain Bobby Moore, holding aloft the World Cup Trophy which England won in 1966. The statue shows Moore being hoisted aloft by fellow West Ham players Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters with Everton defender Ray Wilson.
