The Dr. Martens Stand (formerly the West Stand) is the newest and by far largest stand inside Upton Park, holding up to 15,000 spectators. The stand was built in 2001, bringing the stadium capacity up from around 26,000 to 35,647. The stand was officially opened by HM The Queen, where Her Majesty was introduced to the manager and captain at the time, Glenn Roeder and Joe Cole.
