West Ham 2016/17

Went today by way, atmosphere was great, stadium was rocking and didn't see any trouble at all

You really oversell stuff mate, a bit like you do with England. KUMB pretty much say the opposite every game. Still though, a much needed win for your lot

He does tend to "over-egg the pudding", so to speak. Still, hard to blame him, I suppose. He's just sticking up for his own.

Reading the Sunderland forum again - they are scathing of the stadium and fans.

Yep I have read their forum and concur. This isnt the first tome west ham have had trouble outside the ground rhis season is it, i hope we arnt seing a return to the bad old days.
Bluehammer, you have picked up a fair few thousand fans this season, does that include a lot of the old timers returning?

Message forums on KUMB consist of the same 10 + people moaning about anything ... There was 57,000 there yesterday and the atmosphere was
So much better than the same
Fixture would have been at Upton Park. I know that for a fact. It's laughable how Upton Park is considered anywhere near as good as O/S ... Aside from being more on top of the pitch , I can't think of one reason.

I'd say majority of the 'old timers' are still there. Whatever that means. I'm a 20+ year season ticket holder, do I count ? ... Some 'old timers' don't like a change, which is fair enough. But I have more concern for my club and for it to progress further - staying at Upton Park would not have got us anywhere.

Sorry, to be clear im asking if there is a link between the apparent return of violence and the old icf type crew? There was reported trouble against bournemouth and watford i think...i agree about upton park, you have to give it a go to try and break into the top 4 so its a no brainer.

Fair enough, no - don't think we'll ever see a return to those days - the world has changed, policing and cameras everywhere now days , with higher ticket prices, all seating and no alcohol in the stands, slowly it has killed the old school hooligans - there will always be the odd incident and a few dickheads trying to cause trouble.

West Ham throwing seats and coins at Chelsea fans all match. Don't like Chelsea much so sounds ok to me

Just West Ham fans causing the aggro ? Chelsea fans just sitting there nice and quietly minding there own buisness I'm sure - was always going to be minority causing trouble. Less than 1% as usual. Hope they all get banned for life. Both sides.
