An observation from afar
|
|
Most of you know I live in the states now, Las Vegas to be exact and am no longer a customer of West Ham United like I used to be.
But come 7am on a Saturday I get 90mins of restbite
From Disney Junior to watch the games in NBC, fire up twitter & WHO to see what west ham fans from everywhere are saying & doing.
One thing Ive noticed since the move is noone seems to talk about pubs anymore. Before hand id see my old mates in the Duke or The Denmark, people talking about going to The Earl or the Black Lion etc, not see any of that since the move.
Have I missed something or has Stratford as a meeting place pre match just fallen flat on its face or is everyone drinking in the ground?

I drink in the ground now and I really like it.
The lager is good and the real ale is okay.
No three deep at the bar going on either. It would be good if there was more football on those expensive looking screens that only really show past games or adds.

For our group it's so far been:
TruRIB
Orbit
Carpenters
Howling Hops
Langthorne
TruRIB's been the most regular but not really settled on one for good.

And despite the moaning the public transport options are much better

Stratford has much better pub options just as close to the ground as UP. The carpenters is right next door almost and is rocking after the game sometimes.

Like Far Cough, have stayed loyal to the Black Lion. But why the fuck wouldn't we? We've moved a massive 10 minutes further up the road and I reckon about three-quarters of the Lion regulars from last season have fucked off elsewhere. Still can't work out why people think 10 minutes is worth leaving a great pub for.

I thought that might be the case, where everyone is spread out now.

Its a much better meeting place, so many pubs to choose from and can get a drink without having a queue for half hour after 1pm.
Downside is a bit less ATMOS in the pubs but suits me fine as I hate pissing around at the bar and getting bumped into every 20 seconds in a boozer.
