My Affinity with them began in the early 80s when my primary school took a dozen or so of us to Maine Rd against them and the ICF stormed the forecourt .

Love West Ham fans. Best mate was one and I miss him, think we're just kindred spirits tbh.

Yep, can't stand the club tbh.
And I don't know any blues who have a soft spot for them or this second club bollocks. Must be a bluemoon thing.
No one is calling them a second club, just that there seems to be a kind of mutual respect between the fan bases.
Okay not every fan, but it's wider than just some comments aon bluemoon, if I asked any blue I know(and the majority are not mooners) which club in london they didn't mind WHU is normally the answer, or QPR

Half of my family are Hammers. I've been to the old ground more times than I care to remember. 2nd team though? Naaaa...only 1 team.
Maybe Southampton.

Would be my favoured team if they were playing any other London/south east team. Or liverpool or united obviously.
Wasn’t my first late 70s scarf claret & blue & white too?

I live in the East End and have done on and off for fifteen years. All my friends are Hammers. They see us as a West Ham of the North. Locals team who are very much their own men. Espanyol over Barca, Betis over Savilea, Torino over Juventus.

Yep agreed, I've lived in Hornchurch, for 20 years plus lots of hammers mates, before the money we were viewed as very similar clubs.I live in the East End and have done on and off for fifteen years.

Even since the money, the majority still regard us as a similar fan base.
Can't wait to get there on Saturday now!

I haven’t got a ticket yet. Loved Upton Park as it reminded me of Maine Road.
