    Really? That's the best you can do?

    If you want to play 'working class trumps', I'm pretty sure my hand beats yours.

    What is so wrong with a fan saying that they don't agree with the way the club is being run.
    West Ham United is so much more than Gold, Sullivan and Brady and for the life of me I simply don't understand why people don't get that!

    What is so wrong with reading what people actually post, rather than coming on with pre-conceived ideas, or building straw men?

    I can't think of a single post that has suggested that fans can't say pretty much whatever they want to.

    Nothing. Which is probably why nobody has said anything is wrong with it ;hmm

    Anyone?

    Maybe that's why you don't understand. ;hmm

    Oh, and how dare you imply that I hold those views when I have never said anything of the kind?

    I find that insulting.

    The RWHFAG appears to accept anyone who request to join on FB,

    Well, I clicked the 'join group' button in early December.

    Still waiting to be allowed in.
    Really? Wow honestly I’m surprised at that, wonder if it’s just an Admin oversight?

    How ridiculous to think that the club will send in 'undercover agents' to infiltrate a group of fans who believe they have the right to dictate how the club is run.
    If they're not happy stop going to games if in fact they do all go to games. Individually I would suspect that a large number of these people have little or no idea what it is exactly that they want or expect to get but think it would be fun to stick on one the owners they font like.
    I think it's sad that they are protesting and marching on the day that the club are commemorating Bobby Moore.

    So that would be your answer then Thorn, just stop going, there’s your protest. I don’t believe they think they have a right to dictate how the club is run,they mainly want to stop the nonsense that board engage in, I would also say that plenty within the group that know exactly why they’re protesting, yes it is sad, it’s sad that it’s come to this, perhaps if the board/club didn’t make as many mess up’s it wouldn’t of led to this

    I like the current crest.

    I can’t see what’s wrong with it.
  • HamstewHamstew
    I don't mind it either. Could do with a bit of tweaking but it's ok.

    The date of the RWH group march was announced first for the Burnley game. The club then announced the same date for the Bobby event.
    Probably just a coincidence.

    I doubt it's coincidence. It's the 1st home game after the anniversary.
  • HamstewHamstew
    I think it's the gold hammers I'm not crazy about. Seems better when they are blue or white
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    But we’ve always had crossed hammers.

    Dunno. I don't think so because I know one other person from here who applied on the same day and was allowed in.

    Also, as an admin you have to either click accept or decline, you can't just dismiss it with no action. So one or the other decision was made, otherwise the request would still be visible to them.

    Maybe it was something on my FB profile that didn't meet their (secret) criteria.

    So are a few others. If it said East London it would probably feel more tribal in some people's eyes.

    Surely it should be "East, East, East London"?

    According to the blurb putting London on the badge would "establish the club firmly on the international stage and reinforce our European ambitions". Maybe the board felt that despite our history not enough people outside the UK knew who West Ham were or where West Ham was

    A response from The Board.

    pressure and action good good :)
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Seems reasonable.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Well, I've just read it and I there ARE some dates for action, actually.

  • YeoldhammerYeoldhammer
    hopefully the group keep the pressure up.

    In addition (for anyone who hasn't read it) there are dates/timescales put on

    1. Consultation on events to commemorate 125years
    2. Wider consultation on the evolution of the badge design
    3. Consultation on a commemorative crest for use during anniversary season
    4. Expanding ex-Boleyn stewards in senior role from 2 to 4

    re the seating from what I read they gave the information based on what the stadium operators gave them before the move , obviously the firm doing the retractable seating went bust and the operators went for a cheaper option at the time. I'm glad they are getting involved with the fans and hopefully we can get some positive outcomes.

    I think they need to, at present nothing concrete has happened, the board have offered "commitments" and future promises.

    It is only via militant action, or the threat of militant action, that any positive change will occur.

    Nothing is ever willingly given from above, all progress is fought for from below.

    Without the RWHFAG I`m pretty sure messrs Gold, Sullivan and Brady would have bumbled along quite contentedly.
  • MrsGreyMrsGrey
    Well, the thing about the board - the letter claims it was said by the reps during the mtg.

    If it wasn't, then someone can call her out on it - there were enough of them there. If they don't call her out on it, I am happy to accept that her comment reflects the truth.

    The 'commitments' that Mrs Grey refers in her points 1-3 to are to 'consult' (whatever that means)on the badge/crest , and not until 2020 - I can hear a can being kicked down the road. (we could be in the Champo by then !).

    Well, you are misrepresenting it somewhat.

    The consultations are for things to take place in and after the 2019/20 season (ie the season after next).

    I suppose they could get cracking on the consultation immediately, but I don't think it unreasonable to schedule that process for the summer preceding, and use the intervening time to do things that are a bit more urgent.

    So we shall hold different opinions on whether or not the timescale is a reasonable one.

    But presumably you now acknowledge that there ARE dates attached to some of the commitments, despite your earlier claim that there were none?
