Boleyn Ground - The REAL Referendum - How Will You Be Voting?

Hammers fans are being given their chance to decide on whether a proposed charity pitch event in aid of West Ham United Ladies takes place.

The Ladies had proposed a match at the Boleyn Ground on Sunday 5 June against a West Ham All Stars team comprising of former players and famous Hammers fans. Entrance would be free for all, but supporters attending would be encouraged to donate to the Ladies on the day‎.

The match would allow fans - including those who missed out on the ballot - one last chance to see the Boleyn‎ for free.

However, ‎following feedback from supporters, the organisers are now seeking opinion on whether the game should go ahead as planned. They understand the feeling among some fans that Tuesday's night's memorable game against Manchester United should be the last public game at the Boleyn and would rather the game did not take place.

So whufc.com is running a poll to gauge supporter opinion on whether the match should take place. The organisers have agreed to follow whatever supporters decide so the game will either take place as planned or be cancelled.

The vote is open for 24 hours until midday on Sunday 15 May. To have your say, vote below.
Would you like to see the game take place on Sunday 5 June?
Yes
No

For mine, let the Ladies have their day, i have no desire to attend, Tuesday was the last game and the one that mattered. This is a bit of fun and I'm more than happy for it to go ahead. You lot?

They can fuck off..The last game was Tuesday

I have already voted NO

I would've had no problem had this been before Tuesday night but after that, the ground should not be milked further. The last game at the ground we won 3-2, and Winston was the last ever goal scorer, that's how it should remain.

NO, Bobby Moore turned the lights out, remember?

The Hollywood version has Bobby turning off the lights for the last time and the diggers in the next morning.

The reality is that the pitch gets hired out every season the minute after the last game of the season is played. Obviously the diggers are not arriving yet, so this is one of many games being played on the pitch by hirers. If this game gets pulled, another game becomes the last game. Does that get pulled as well? Charity games after doesn't bother me. Billing it as the 'last game' 2 days after Bobby switched the lights off wasn't ideal. That's a marketing issue. Bottom line, it's one of many charity games taking place, big deal.

What sort of idiot would genuinely object to this?

Might as well put this on here as the other will be locked;

Absolute joke.

This has NOTHING to do with extra games being played there, as there are a fair few behind closed doors games for fans and for charity.

They're not being pushed by the club the way this one is though. And by the chairman's fucking child as if they think people will think it more acceptable.

I reckon they saw the masses outside on Tuesday, thought women's football is getting popular but we don't want to fund our own women's team properly so let's let the mug fans do it and we'll shift the rest of the food and drink we've got left whilst we're at it.

Classless as always.

Bang on the money.

Anyone that thinks the lights being turned off on Tuesday is actually going to be the very last action at the ground is being naive.

I say lets this go ahead....I might even be tempted to go over there myself for this....and grab a momento of two to take away with me.

Imagine 35,000 turned up for this and had a party!!!

Well obviously, the club have given people the chance to vote on it, whatever way you vote is your choice, no one is an idiot whatever way you choose to vote

Me, I think Tuesday should be the last game EVER on that sacred pitch

Re: Boleyn Ground - The REAL Referendum - How Will You Be Voting?

They've only given people the vote because Jack Sullivan was trying to flog it on TWITTER and people had a go about it so he back peddled massively.

He said he'd got big name reality TV stars in and everything. In that case Jack, play on...

Either the website isn't bothering to remember your vote (wouldn't surprise me as they'll just lie about the response to suit anyway) or you can vote multiple times btw.

Some (sad) people being PRECIOUS about an old, clapped out, derelict stadium they do not own

Re: Boleyn Ground - The REAL Referendum - How Will You Be Voting?

It's a non official game of football after the premier league has ended, for charity.

I don't see the problem. We had our last game. It's over now. I don't expect them to board it up completely.

People will enter the stadium after Tuesday's game. Eventually they will rip it down, and people will be there too.

It's not going to turn into plough lane and left untouched

I won an fhm O2 south of England tournament in 2006, we played the final at Highbury the day after our cup final with Liverpool. Sadly lost, I was fucked after being in Cardiff and not going to bed I was not the only one in our team, bloody lost to some scousers couldn't believe it. But we were the last to play there, it ain't no biggie if others play there,the real finale has been end of.

I'm against Women having anything to do with football, so it's a NO from me.

Re: Boleyn Ground - The REAL Referendum - How Will You Be Voting?

I object more to a team made up of 'famous' West Ham fans.
What gives cunts like those off of TOWIE the right to have a free kick about at Upton Park when genuine fans have to pay through their nose?

It does make me laugh though how they try to flog a 'final' game a day after the final game.
