your home........

The London Stadium, Im Romford born and bred and a lot of my good friends are Hammers fans, none of them really tell me their true feelings over leaving Upton Park, me personally believe that it was a Sin to be honest, a lot of soul has gone from the game in general as the years pass, modern trading estate stadiums are dull and lack character,

Grounds like Reading, Leicester and so on, I love the tradition of going to a football match, little things like The pub on the corner, the corner betting shop etc etc.

What is you take on leaving the great Upton Park?

A lot of grounds have lost a lot of atmosphere since the advent of all seater stadiums.

As an aside what do Hammers fans call some of their rivals,in the North East we call Sunderland Mackems because of the way they pronounce words like make as Mak and take as tak.
Middlesbrough we call smoggies because of their chemical and steel works.

wotcha mate and welcome to this very busy West Ham UTD boardB)
to answer your query Sir:
Tottenham= YIDS, because they are!
Chelsea= PLASTICS, because they are!
those are the immediate 1's that spring to mind, there are others.....
stay safe now

Definitely the atmosphere went at Upton Park after the seats were put in so that was the biggest difference rather than moving stadium.

Barcodes for you guys
We used to call the Brighton team 'tesco bags' in the 80s.
Bin Dippers for the red scousers
C***S for Millwall.
