I have always had a soft spot for West Ham 13:50 - Jul 15 with 8900 viewsLadbrokeR

I work with a couple but since the news of the imminent move to the Olympic stadium the exit of big Sam and the arrival of Billic they have become delusional. I keep telling them that you were possibly the worst team that i saw all season at the Bush and historically you have always been nailed on for a relegation scrap. Nice lads but it is really becoming quite boring.

How can anyone have a soft spot for West Ham after the Trevor Sinclair deal?

It's not a delusion that they have got a stadium that cost £700 million for £15 million. That has enabled them to reduce season ticket prices. Whether anyone wants to watch what they are serving up remains to be seen.

Fair point and to be honest i was upset when Parkes and Goddard went but i don't dislike West Ham the way i do other clubs. Back to my point i have got blokes at work banging on about Cross Rail, Westfield, city airport, and the Champions league blah blah blah.

Ahhhh... the good old Academy.... Claret and Blue, Billy "bonser" Bonds, dear old Bobby Moore and jumpers for goal-posts.. isn't it? Mmmmmmmm

I dont mind them as much as other clubs but less we forget this is the outfit that gave us:-
The ICF
The Under 5's (and their blades.... cockney scousers I used to call 'em)
Bulldog on sale outside much like at Scumford Bridge
Ludek Miscolsco (SP)
Tim Breaker
Ian Dowie

And last but by no means least
'Arry (The Honest Manager) Redknapp

Is it fair they've had a stadium subsidised to the tune of £600million odd? No... and I'm not sure there's as much opposition to that as there is to us and Warren White Elephant Farm or Old Soak Common

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

you have to live there to understand it ladbroke. anyone who knows west ham, the area and its traditions and its supporters will understand my post.

You can never truly say you have the greatest love of all for association football, until your sitting in the bobby moore stand surrounded by west ham fans signing like cut price frank sinatra impersonaters then witnessing a armand traore 5 yard pass travelling faster than HG Wells time machine and breaking a Morlocks double glazed window .

On the one and only time we drove to Upton Park, before mobile phones were invented, we had parked within 10 metres of a junction, like everyone else had down the packed terraced streets and got back after the game to find the car had gone.

Thought it had been stolen till a couple came out of their house to tell us the old bill had towed it. An evening game, no idea where anything was, but the bloke found out where it had been towed then drove us south of the river to Woolwich Arsenal to get the bloody thing back and wouldn't accept a penny (recovery cost about £150). He couldn't have got home until midnight.

Don't know a great deal about East London but from that one episode I do have a soft spot for West Ham. Fckin hate their police though.

West Ham are c*nt. I read two chapters of Harry's book and the second was about how they kicked Bobby Moore out of the ground when he didn't have a ticket for a match and now it's Bobby Moore all over the place.

They can f*ck off with all that 1966 nonsense too.

I've met two West Ham fans and they were both arrogant dicks about it. F**k them all.

I admit i have never lived anywhere near West Ham and have never had any inclination or reason to do so. I have got to be honest i am bit surprised that this has prompted such intense feelings. I could have this wrong but i have listened to the immutable chorus of how West Ham won the world cup and stories about the Canning town snipers. To be honest I have always found it mildly amusing but i could be missing the point not least becuse i haven't had to endure this drivel and it's cutural attachments on a daily basis. Following on from this i was under the impression that Newham as it is now is more ethnically diverse than possibly any other London borough and a lot of the taken for granted assumptions that many people have are a bit more to do with Honchurch, Romford, and places like Chigwell which is where the West Ham fan base is.

Never had a soft spot for any other team.. Well, maybe QPR reserves when Robert (o) Herrea scored an overhead bicycle goal near the edge of the box at the loft end in front of two dozen people.. Still one of the best goals I've seen at loftus road.. He said he wanted to play for Spain after that...think he ended up at Torquay with his 'tash..

the area is unrecognisable from the 1980's , very few supporters remain within east ham/upton park/barking etc etc . all moved out to essex and beyond.

absolute shit hole that seems to have escaped any regeneration up to this point. my old man and his mates clinging to the life rafts and pints of double diamond like titanic survivors in a bewildering era of sky sports subscriptions , £100 grand a week wages and clare balding auto bio's..

rather than jump ship like a seventeen stone coal shoveller in ladies garments,to up and coming chalk stripe conurbation ' stratford city', the club should have stayed put and fought to regenerate the area and showed a bit of loyalty to the old timers , familys and generations of salt of the earth fans who have supported this working mans club since the forties and fifties.

crying shame for the area, just ruthless greed and an opportunity to re vamp their fan base from painter and decorators from barking to advertising specialists from islington and the city .

very few pubs left in the area now and the ones that are left will close as soon as the last pint of stella is drained at the end of the season,

newham council will tear down bobby moores bronze statue and replace it with an FGM while- you- wait service for albert and wilf the world war 2 veterans from the east ham working mans club, who have been left behind like unwanted cats.



still cant get my head around dark star newham council ( the most deprived borough in the UK)loaning west ham funds to move

i hope both west ham and stratford' city ' are very happy together.

Wonderful post disco.. I've recently worked in Stratford, Bethnal Green and Whitechapel .. I have east end roots and found the whole experience a nightmare, working both day and night shifts (not sure which was worst)... The whole cockney ethos is gone to hell in a hand cart..I heard half a dozen 'old school' London accents whilst I was there... And they belonged to me and my work mates from west London...if I could avoid the east end for the rest of my days , I would.. Glad my uncles/aunties etc aren't around to see it..a sad state of affairs.

The thing about the Sinclair deal (and our other dealings with West Ham) is this...

The problem is not so much the people who break into your house and rob your stuff, it's the ones who empty rubbish (Breaker, Dowie etc.) all over your carpet on the way out.

Hate em. Stan jnr went to school with a lot of them in basildon and got stick from the age of 6 to 16. funny thing was most of them didn't even know where Upton Park was and he was a season ticket holder at 8! He used to ask them what time were they leaving for the match Saturday and they soon shut up [bowl
Tesco and sainsburys always full of the shirts when they are doing well and at home but haven't got the nads to wear them when their shat,which is most of the time.
And as for that f@cking bubbles song

It's being so happy that keeps me going.

The best cafes at away grounds are at Upton Park, I could write a book about cafes at away grounds.
The worst are within a one mile radius of the old Bolton ground.
The Anfield cafe is fcking rank but marginally better than any of the cafes within a mile radius of the old Bolton ground.
There are to my knowledge no cafes within walking distance of Villa Park.
There is a cafe near Stockports ground that is so shit that if you order an extra egg they give you a 2 up 2 down mid terrace house for free (and the cafe pays the stamp duty).
Anyway Upton Park is brilliant for cafes if nothing else.
Now I'm gonna have me tea.

Don't mind West Ham , used to know a few lads who followed them and they were always good for a laugh
going back you do have to say West Ham are a big club, for a club that's won fcuk all they always, always take a big away following no matter if they are doing well or not,
going with Disco its a disgrace they are leaving the area , whats even more surprising is the fan base are all for it, if I were a Hammer I would be gutted at having your soul sold
I do have a sneaky feeling the owners will sell the club in a couple of years to a big billionaire ala man city , that's what they are in it for , same as why Fernandes wanted to buy them

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

I don't have a problem with them but they do think they're bigger than they are and all that "we won the World Cup" stuff is cringeworthy. So the 19 other players in the squad didn't contribute anything I guess??

They've reduced prices for the Olympic stadium because they have to fill it otherwise the whole project couldn't be justified. If they charged Boleyn Ground prices, they wouldn't have a chance of that.

What it does show (and what we already know) is that ticket prices at all grounds are way too high.
