villa89 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I've probably mentioned it in this thread but they are a scumbag club with scumbag fans and scumbag owners. I hope the whole thing goes tits up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumblerseven Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think they lost part of their identity when they moved to Olympic stadium and no ones feeling well about it and it feels like the stadium not for them but for other events. I think if they go down they will be in world of trouble they wont come back for a long long time so i would like to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone linked an article from the Independent about it a couple pages back, it's a pretty interesting read about how dodgy the board have been in effectively trying to silence the fans. Yes, the pitch invasions aren't going to help, but what else can they do when it seems the board pretty much bribe fans not to protest? Having said all that, as much as Gold and Sullivan are knobs, the coin throwing is completely unacceptable and dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I honestly didn't realise that there were that many proper hooligan types out there and they were that organised. I'm not suggesting they represent anything but an absolute minority of West Ham fans but they clearly have a influence if they're meeting with the board. I'm completely ignorant to the issue, would Villa have equivalent organisations? You never hear any discussions on here about them. The Randy Lerner protests were organised by respected members of the community on VT and other well known, respectable individuals. It never seemed intended to be intimidating or nasty to me. Those West Ham fans on Saturday were like a pack of wolves baying at trapped prey. It was unpleasant to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 And to think that the rent they pay actually goes down if they get relegated! Ridiculous deal. I get where they're coming from to and extent. But we showed it can be done in the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Avfc96 Posted March 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2018 This comment on the Guardian sums up how I feel about those c****... Quote Oh dear, not another load of bollocks about the club 'having it's heart ripped out' blah, blah, blah. They were given the Olympic Stadium as a replacement for a run down Upton Park whilst other clubs have had to build their own, or significantly improve them, with their own money. They have average owners but certainly no worse than dozens of other clubs up and down the country. Yet another romanticised club blowing bubbles, eating cockles and living in a past that never actually happened. The West Ham way is a fiction and it's brilliant that the 'fans' disgusting behaviour on Saturday was enacted on 'Bobby Moore day' when actually, when he was alive, he was treated appallingly by the club. Did the fans run on the pitch to protest about that? The pitch invaders and violent 'protesters' on Saturday are hooligans and should be dealt with accordingly. The fact that the peaceful protest march before the game was called off after a supporters group of hooligans was bribed by the Board they profess to hate says it all. West Ham have no more right to stay up than anyone else. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted March 13, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I reckon the bribed hooligans that called off the march and threatened the leftists will be supplying the security at the stadium very soon. Something very dodgy about the whole episode Saturday they were not playing too bad and only went 1-0 down with 30 mins to play or something not actually a time to invade the pitch and kick off. Would not put anything past those porn barons. Edited March 13, 2018 by S-Platt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my money back Hopefully they go into the bottom 3 and then west ham will show their true colours, start ripping the ground apart would be good to see them do for definite, fighting amongst themselves is a must really and making it so toxic in the stadium only the idiots are left. If it goes well it will be 80 % empty by the end of the season with only relegation after relegation to look forward too. This should put off the younger generation who will only travel to see the athletics on a Saturday now and then because their wily word removed cockney ways cant get them past the Oyster card machine on the tube the words removed no matter how much cockney twitching they try. words removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I don't read it but an old copy of the sun was in the canteen at work, did anyone see that sickening Brady article? About how 'when you move home you need to decorate it in your colours so it feels like home' etc. F*** off love you've been given a free athletics stadium, it's not yours to do what you want with. The arrogance of this tin pot club is baffling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
