I thought the turnout was impressive; however many it actually was. The huge gap between the lower and upper tier didn't help atmosphere wise and I didn't think there was as much singing as at some of the away games this season but the mood was great for most of the game and the fire drill chant was amusing.
I was fortunate to be spending the day at a client's in West London so drove there and just had to hop onto the Central Line to get across town; altough still arrived at ground at last minute because my mate's bus in from Oxford got stuck in traffic.
The walk back to the tube station was a drag but getting home was a breeze thereafter so pretty convenient for me, all,in all. The kudos go to those who travelled from Manchester.
Seemingly gas works at the smaller bridge area the reason for this.That's only because most of the West Ham fans had long since fucked off by the time we came out of the ground. I couldn't understand the logic of the walk to and from the ground (for non-attendees, they let you get within about 200 yards of the ground before forcing you into a figure of 8 loop half way back towards the tube station, with barriers and stewards in place to stop you just carrying straight on). Why do they need that loop at all? Turned a 15 minute walk into 25. Very tiresome
The volume on my telly must have been faulty?
Fantastic turn out but hardly saw or heard a peep out of our fans throughout the entire game, barring a snapshot of the revived Poznan, which was great to see back.

Our away fans are probably the worst in the league in terms of noise created. Not really surprising considering it's a bunch of middle aged, middle class men taking a majority of our allocation.
