The West Ham Bond Scheme.
|
|
Did anyone actually purchase one and if so did it yield a return?
I remember the protest with the fella walking into the centre circle with the corner flag.
An Arsenal mate of mine purchased one of theirs and sold it a few years later for a handsome profit (£3k)

Someone on here has one - can't think who though.

Mike - I missed the Denmark Arms moment. Was anybody on here there? I can imagine how that event went down!

I think One Iron was on a different kind of bond altogether at that point!

One Iron bought a bond? I very much doubt that.
If my memory serves me right I think he was banned around that time.

Well worth the money, in hindsight.

Was a disgrace the way they went about it with probably not many having the money to just shell out on them back then, but anyone who did buy one has easily got their monies worth out of it.
Just seem to always be run by right cunts.
It's the West Ham way!

Seem to remember Danny Baker bringing this up each week on 606!
I'm sure someone who worked on the show was either an Arsenal or West Ham supporter.
I might be wrong though!

How many here were upstairs at The Denmark Arms when Peter Storrie was stood on a chair trying to explain the situation?

West Ham fans are always better in adversity whether it be the Bond protest, the Chicken run seats palaver or Villa Park in '91.
All proper West Ham occasions.

Nope, but I enjoyed the protests. Proper fans activism. Let's hope some more of it will help to address this latest shower of shit we're living through.

It was a great time when most were united, yet even back then you still had a pro board minority, probably the same cunts whacking the protester during the Burnley game

2 of my friends have one and so even though they're not regular away followers, are always guaranteed a ticket because of them.
Both fairly loaded so probably not ever thought about selling them.
I know Bob the Cap (RIP) had one as well and surely the likes of One Iron got involved.
I would have if I weren't a skint teenager at the time.

I still have the OLAS fanzine with that corner flag pic on the front cover, they were as you say a great source of information speculation and gallows humour back in the days before the internet and social media.
First one I bought was a photocopied OTT but they started to get a bit glossy as the years progressed and even doubled as an alternative match programme.
