    Yes, I do realise you aren't necessarily endorsing it, didn't mean it to come across that I thought you were, sorry ;ok

    Jackie Gold's statement, imo, is rather stupid, as I indicated earlier.

    However, leaving aside whether or not it is actually true, it could be seen as supporting totally different arguments:

    eg, The owners want more fans to be able to get tickets because they know how happy it makes them to be able to see West Ham play. ;biggrin

    or even

    They want to sell the extra tickets to maximise the club's income so that in January they can give an extended contract+pay rise to the new fans' favourite and goal-scoring machine (insert player name here). ;hmm

    or even

    When all our defenders are crocked in January, we want to be able to afford someone better than Roger the Relegator or Emmanuel Pogatez


    I suppose it depends on your starting position/attitude as to which argument you want to make. (not 'you' you, obviously.)

    Absolutely ;ok

    If you want to be successful in the Premier League then generating massive income seems to be a basic requirement. I think our directors are looking to do that in the best interests of the club. I could be proved wrong though.

    I doubt you will be Dean.

    Hope not!

    Does anyone know if you can get a Guinness or a proper brown beer inside the stadium? I went to the juve game, and had plastic bottled lager, and some draught Amstell. All very nice, but I'm going to the Watford game and would rather not drink euro plonk. ;stout

    They sell West Ham bitter from a micro brewery. It's sold on the inner concourse by Block 146 and presumably at various intervals around the stadium. It's not bad but not the best. ;ok

    Magic, cheers Herb. I will have a wander round that way.

    Once spent 6 weeks in Liverpool.

    When a paper seller shouted 'Echo' you were almost guaranteed to hear 'echo' 'echo' 'echo' from someone. Often, it was me.

    Any idea which micro-brewery is making Iron Ale and Boleyn Bitter as I've asked around the brewery folk and no one seems to know.

    Hardly likely you'll be able to get Guinness as the Stadium signed a deal with Heineken, they own Murphy's stout (brewed in Tadcaster along with John Smith's and Newcastle Brown) so you might be able to get a pint of that.

    Fans where ejected today, from the section next to the BML on the east side.

    Stand up if you love West Ham started up but very few joined in and very few did.
  • Slaven_Cups_His_BeardSlaven_Cups_His_Beard
    So sad, think that all started just after our second goal?

    So North East corner lower fans were ejected I'm assuming because of complaints? Yet BML, STBL and away fans were allowed to stand with no problems?

    Is it just me or is it just as simple as a ticket swap system ?
  • BertQuigleyBertQuigley
    also ejected in east stand ,corner with STB stand,punch ups in that area and my stand the STB upper,apparently a five year old was given a load of expletives after moaning that they couldn`t see followed by the dad taking his own retribution To be honest i couldn`t concentrate fully on the match due to the incidents in the seats,when their fourth went in upped and left.........today left a rather bad taste in my mouth,hope it improves.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    Slizzy

    It looks to me like the stewards are targeting areas where some stand and some sit, leaving alone those areas (BML TBL ChavCorner) where everyone stands.

    Not nice to hear of punch ups between fans Bert.
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    it also looks like fans are standing in areas where they didn't used to ;hmm
