A sad story …but so true .
He stepped out of the London Stadium at 0-0 last night. After 38 years, a West Ham supporter is calling it quits.
“Born with Claret & Blue balloons in my crib. First game in '88 against Liverpool. A shift worker since 15, but I've always carved out time for matches. However, tonight against Wolves, I left at 0-0. I'm officially done attending games. It’s not about the football— it’s the lifeless matchday experience. £7.50 for terrible beer, 1.5-hour commutes, and sitting near tourists who can’t tell if it’s a cup match or clueless vloggers endlessly rambling into cameras for live streams while real fans just shake their heads.
I defended the London Stadium for a decade against the critics. I accepted the Boleyn was a thing of the past. But tonight, it hit hard: modern football and this stadium are no longer made for folks like us. I adore West Ham; it’s etched on my skin, but from now on, I’ll be watching from home. The spirit has left the building. ⚒️”
What a great ground The Cottage remains .
And the walk from Putney Bridge Station to it one way , or from Hammersmith the other are shortish strides through the DNA of London .
It also reminds me of dear old Danny Fullbrook .
