Remember that chant the had about preferring Bobby Zamora to Jermaine Defoe because Zamora wasn't as black? Easily the most racist BNP supporting club in the country.

ismail-villa Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Got beat 4-2 by Watford. Can say I quite enjoyed seeing that scoreline, even funnier that Ogbonna had tweeted the scoreline too haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 They get the policing free (included in the stupidly low rent). How about stewards? I guess if there's fighting then policing needs to be increased, funded by the British tax payers. What a shambolic situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I'm with the West Ham fans on this. Not with the fighting, I've no idea what that's all about and it cannot be condoned. However with the standing issue, they have been ejected from their home against the will of the majority, crammed into a soulless bowl of a stadium with a load of day trippers and are literally being forced to follow a set of rules that absolutely no club in England follows. It's no wonder they're struggling. I stand at the back of the lower Holte. It's what we do. It's accepted. The upper Holte stand, it's accepted. This happens at every ground in the country. Away fans, stand. Everywhere. There's no consistency so of course a load of football fans are going to upset about that. West Ham had the opportunity to seize the initiative here and rally for safe standing, they didn't do that because they won't make as much money. Either that or they're so out of touch they didn't see this problem coming. Alternatively, they could have not moved them to this wretched London Stadium in the first place. They were perfectly happy where they were. The sooner football is free of the likes of Gold and Sullivan the better. Leeches. Edited September 12, 2016 by dont_do_it_doug.

villa4europe Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 By the sounds of some of the fans on talksport yesterday it sounds worse than that... they have rejigged all the seating, done draws and ballots etc, they've properly mixed the stands, priced people out and pushed them in to sitting together, imagine us moving to the Birmingham bowl after the commonwealth games (for another thread, I think it'll happen in my lifetime and we all know our neighbours love a free house) and fans from all four stands told sit here for £400 or anywhere else for £800...of course they're going to merge and of course it will cause trouble add to that because it's not a football stadium apparently the pitch of the stands is rubbish, it's not just the bloke in front of you that will block your view, it's the bloke 4/5 rows in front of you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It's a shite state of affairs and whether you like West Ham generally or not, which I don't, it isn't right. Next thing you know they'll be renaming the club London United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 13, 2016 Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2016 West Ham's plea for police help at London Stadium turned down Senior officers have turned down a request from West Ham to police their stadium on matchdays - because the £700m ground does not have a "satisfactory" radio system. The club requested a police presence in the ground after crowd trouble. The Hammers only moved to the London Stadium at the start of the season. "Until there is comprehensive radio coverage officers will not be routinely deployed within it," said the Metropolitan Police's Peter Terry. Mr Terry, who is deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police and in charge of specialist crime and operations, added: "The stadium operators are responsible for the safety and comfort of their customers and staff. "This issue was highlighted to the stadium operators in October 2014 and the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has been in negotiation with stadium operators regarding the provision of Airwave radio inside the stadium. "During this time, the MPS had spoken to the stadium operators several times to highlight the consequences of not installing such a system. "The MPS is not able to provide Special Policing Services at this time as it would normally, as there is no satisfactory radio system across the ground." All of Great Britain's emergency services and more than 300 public safety organisations use the Airwave radio system to communicate. West Ham confirmed that 10 fans were ejected from the stadium during the 4-2 defeat by Watford on Saturday, and there were more disturbances during the first home Premier League game against Bournemouth last month. West Ham are tenants at the London Stadium, which is owned by E20 and was built to host the 2012 London Olympics. E20 says it is addressing the recent trouble. Documents released last year showed the taxpayer - not the club - would foot the bill for much of the matchday operating costs, including security. Analysis - BBC sports editor Dan Roan "A blame game is now developing over the violent scenes at West Ham's new home. The club says the stadium's owners and matchday operator need to bolster policing, stewarding and segregation. "However, it has also been suggested that West Ham could have done more to plan segregated family and singing sections, rather than prioritising the sale of season tickets, with the mix of traditional supporters and thousands of new fans thought to have led to tension."

rodders0223 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Brady, Gold and Sullivan. Horrible words removed. Would rather see our team languishing at the bottom end of League 2 than have those dead eyed ****s ripping the heart out of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 should be made play behind closed doors until this is resolved. They got a free stadium and now seem to be cheaping the security levels if that was a league 1 or league 2 team they be probably threatened with no fans allowed attending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
