I think theyll realise quite quickly the fans have had it when everyone has walked out by HT next Saturday.
Spurs are going to dick us. Badly.

No fight on the pitch and little off it. The moment I saw fans turfed out for swearing, It killed it a bit for me. West Ham was about the release of energy, the passion, the agony (mostly) with some ecstasy. Shouting til you are hoarse. Making the ground a horrible place for away fans to come to while being a home from home for the fans. The board, manager and most of the players aren't respectful of this, because to them it has never existed.

You’re only going to be fucked if you keep handing money to them. No one goes. They soon sell up.

Morning Bill
Hope your well
Think the Tottenham game might well be the straw that broke the camels back .
Am almost at that crossroads where I just cannot be bothered anymore we have pretty much always been shit since I started going but the side tried and we were at least entertained .We also had Upton Park which admittedly was a shithole but it was our shithole.
Have tried to give the new place a chance but hate it and don't think anything they will do will ever change that as for the 3 at the helm do honestly hate them with a passion but cannot say we weren't warned from their time at Birmingham .
As you know even after the march was called off I still wanted to march nothing changed for me and little has since .

Whether we own it or not nothing will be done to the bowl. Finance and logistics wise. A clusterfuck from day one

Like Parliament there seems to be paralysis for West Ham.
Owners who are stuck with a club they can't sell.
Fans stuck with the owners. Stalemate.
Until something happens, nothing's gonna change for the foreseeable unless Khan sells the arena to the club killers.
The only thing left of West Ham United are the players of the Boleyn, and the fans, who are the club. Everything else is gone, its just us.
Be good if any of the Boleyn players were on board with this as I am sure they are as sick lurching from one crisis to the next. Sure, we have had crisis, but it was in our home in surroundings and atmosphere's which made you forget the pain on certain occasions.
It was our home.
Will we ever get that feeling at the arena, no, not as it currently stands. We don't own it.
There must be pressure on Khan to do that review and sell the arena to start the ball rolling of getting rid of the 3.
Or start a new club, but what a challenge and if aspirations are of playing top flight football, even more difficult since the birth of the PL with the sums of money involved.

We are way too lightweight on the pitch. Burnley may lack the quality we have but they certainly make up for it in heart and desire.
I think we are relying too much on cheap foreign imports. Their heart is not in it fully into the club and dont understand what it truly means to play for West Ham.
Have to find the right blend and we dont have that. For some reason I just find British players to be much stronger mentally.
What do players like Nathan Holland have to do to get a look in for the first team? Especially with a majority of our players playing so badly.

Deano - Very similar to me.
I last went to a home game, 2016 - 1st league match at the shit hole v Bournemouth, when Antonio scored near the end, we won 1-0.
The walk done me in, hated the place, and vowed never to go back, Been to a few aways courtesy of tickets from a couple of mates, but my days over the soul less bowl, are all done and dusted.
First went in 1972 as a kid, had a season ticket from 1981 when the old West Side lower tier had seats put in, and my last season ticket was when our current cunts took over
I have always despised them, so just picked and choosed my games over there, again courtesy of a mate who often had a spare seat.
It was hard to just pack it in at first, it was my life for 30 plus years, I went virtually every home and away game in the 80s and 90s, when it was enjoyable, even up to the mid 2000s it was decent entertainment too.
The West Ham we all grew up with, fell in love with, died in May 2016

Posted this on the other thread, but relevant here too:
"I had a season ticket for 20 years, then went off travelling for a few years. Still managed to get to Upton Park as often as possible when I was in the country. My dad had a season ticket since the 60s. Neither of us go anymore. I've been once to the new ground, against Domžale, the journey & walk to and from the stadium was so shit that I've not been back again since. I just take advantage of away spares from the ticket forum on here - away games are still a good crack, but I doubt I'll go to a home game again, at least not until my two boys want to go when they are older.
I would honestly rather be in League 2 playing at the Boleyn still. In fact, I'd rather have kept our identity, gone out of business, and restarted in non league then work our way back up. But it's done now, no amount of success will ever stop this board being remembered as the people who destroyed West Ham United."
If someone had the time and energy to look at putting together an AFC West Ham club, me and the old man (I believe you know each other from the past One Iron - we bumped into you in Palermo) would be there in a shot. I'd even be happy to help out where I could with the marketing/admin shitty side of modern business.

What's wrong with regular prolonged chants of GSB out etc. during games like the old days? The team will know it's not directed at them.
Can't stop fans singing and it will embarrass the fuck out of the spivs whilst sending the message loud and clear to them and the world.

You're such a fucking fraud. It's all but impossible to convert the athletics bowl to a proper football stadium, and it would be impossible to attempt it for anything less than £200 mill.
You'd have to tear down three sides and build 3/4 of a new stadium to make it work. It'd be cheaper to leave it and start afresh.

Look, not saying those ideas are good, they were just off the top my head. The point is something radical and disruptive is needed and someone should be able to come up with something effective and plausible.

Persistent booing from the kick-off for the whole 90 mins in duration.
Shit like that wont force them out. Wont help the team either.

People can be disruptive. Block turnstiles or make them unusable some way. Volunteers to do timed pitch incursions every few minutes (need a big list of people willing to get banned). Persistent booing from the kick-off for the whole 90 mins in duration. Maybe these are a bit shit off the top of my head, but a bit of thought could turn up some effective strategy of persistent disruption to force them out.
