Redknapp has always been against West Ham's bid to move to the stadium based on the fact that he is firmly against football teams playing in a stadium that includes a running track.
He said: "Good luck to them if that's what the fans want (but) I wouldn't want to watch football matches with a track around it.
"That's my view and I don't think most people would. I would've thought those days were gone.
"I wouldn't want to watch a match with an athletics track around it. There is no atmosphere. I wouldn't want to watch football while sitting miles away from the pitch in a stadium that holds 60,000 people that is half full - that wouldn't appeal to me at all."
"As a person who knows what West Ham fans are like, not many places could beat Upton Park on a good day when the crowd were in full flow singing `Bubbles' and swaying as they used to back in the old days. They will miss that for sure but if it's what they need to do and feel that it is the right move and it takes the club forward then good luck to them."
