West Ham Fans

[mainemanc1066]

Proper ground yes but tiny toilets and 1 bar for 3000 odd fans!? Makes u realise how lucky we are! We walked to west ham station and got on the jubilee, I don't know why, still in london now!!

Not having a dig but curious why such a small % of west ham fans seem to wear colours. The train I was on was packed by the time it reached Upton Park but I didnt see a single West Ham shirt or scarf. On the way back there were just 3 or 4 in the carriage wearing shirts.

I don't wear colours. There's maybe the odd coincidence that I have something on that's Blue. I find grown men that wear football shirts at the match to be a bit odd. Why wear them? Are they expecting the manager to give them a game? There was 100 years of football where 100% of the crowd didn't have a replica shirt on. If I'm playing footy, or I'm at the gym or I'm just lounging about at home I might wear a footy shirt; when I'm out in public I wear my clothes.

I was surprised how many "foreigners" support west ham
The tube before & after had plenty of Italians and Scandinavians with west ham scarves on
Might just be a London thing?
Glad I didn't need to get the 9pm train home from Euston,wouldn't have stood a chance if you stayed until the end

Which station did you travel back from? I followed the advice of one of the West Ham fans, went from East Ham which is a bit of a walk but no queues. Got back to Kings Cross at 8.15

We were one of the last coming out of the ground,young lad in tow needed the toilet,but the queue outside upton Pk tube was mad so we walked onto plaistow and got a tube back to Richmond where we'd parked and got there about 9-30

I don't really understand people over 12 wearing replica shirts to go to the match either.

Because wearing team colours lend colour (what else) to the crowd which is part of football isn't it? Shirts, scarfs, flags. It's what makes German football crowds so great to watch, every stadium is full of colour - the team's colour - and yes, many grown men wear replica shirts.

Grow up. Why can't people buy and wear shirts associated with their club? Or any clothing which is associated with City.

Do you also not attend games at the ground, because you're not actually playing?

Don't wear the replica shirts to the match, For me, I'm over 30 and I Would look ridiculous

West ham have always been pretty no frills, no big displays of colour, flags, banners etc...

Thought your lot were first class in the central, good people.

You have a problem with people wearing football shirts but use the term 'footy'? You couldn't make this shit up.
