Game watched: West Ham Untd 3-0 Bolton Wanderers
Got complimentary tickets for this EFL Cup match. There were problems getting into the stadium - too many people arriving over one bridge from the direction of Stratford Station and causing large queues to get through security, even though the stadium was just over half full. Eventually got in via one of the other bridges, and once we'd picked up some food and got through the turnstiles we found we'd missed the first five minutes (and the first goal). Facilities are very good - especially the number of toilet blocks - and the sightlines are good too, even though we were in one corner of the lower tier. Atmosphere wasn't bad, considering the relatively low attendance and low profile of the match. It was an enjoyable night, although I suspect it would be better for a higher profile match.
