Consuming West Ham content online...

This question feeds into some work we're doing on driving more users to the site, growing the audience etc.

What other types of content/information do you seek out in relation to West Ham, and from where?

Could be:
  • YouTube Channels
  • Podcasts
  • Blogs/Opinion/Fanzine type sites
  • Social Media Sources
  • Traditonal Media sources (e.g. Guardian, Athletic, Evening Standard)
  • Others?
Would be interested to know which you look to (both formats and specifics), which you find useful, which you find annoying (personally I think C&H these days is a spam-fest akin to Hammers News).

What I'm thinking of is a West Ham Online page that pulls all this stuff together in one place so you don't have to hop around all the different channels on the web to look for what's new, and then have it link back to discussion on the forum....so nothing about the forum changes, but it gives:

1. A tool to bring all of the worthwhile West Ham content together in a curated way
2. A means to use that content to drive more activity in the Forums.

So am interested in media types, and specific channels you follow or use.

Thanks for any input, thoughts, or suggestions.

Don't really use any other Whu sites used to go to c&h & kumb but with the pop ups I gave up. If we have played badly I might occasionally have a look at claret and booze screaming and carrying on to cheer myself up.
Actually used to enjoy the westhamway radio show a few years ago when it was on radio essex.

Don't read any of those fan sites, it's all made up bollocks.

YouTube, WHO, WhatsApp. That’s it. 

in think a WHO YouTube channel needs to happen. 

I’ll start it if need be, but you need someone with charisma who doesn’t play characters. 

Jack 1, Far Cough and Simon S would be my first guests. Leonard and Scum would be fun too.

I watch Gonzo and Geo on Youtube from time to time.  Not a fan of Nick though.  Also read The Guardian everyday and occasionally News Now, but most of that is click-bait.
