West Ham target bigger capacity than the Emirates or White Hart Lane after end to legal wrangle

West Ham say they will be able to increase the capacity of the London Stadium to 66,000 after resolving a legal row with its landlord.

After unsuccessful talks lasting more than two years and being restricted to home crowds of 57,000, the Hammers opted to take the matter to the High Court and announced on Monday they have reached an agreement with landlord E20.

The club say the new arrangement means that, subject to regulatory permissions, they will be able to sell up to 60,000 tickets for their games as soon as possible and leaves scope to expand up to 66,000 seats for future matches.
