March 22, 2013. The day it all changed, for better or worse. A week ago today the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, announced that West Ham United Football Club had been chosen as tenants for the Olympic Stadium.

Just Say No

The combination of music and empty Upton Park is totally eerie. But with it you cannot help but feel the history of the club, the connection the club and ground have to the East End and just how tragic it would be to move to some soulless Olympic Stadium and leave it all behind.

Geoff Hurst, Legend


Geoff Hurst with the Upton Park faithful watching in the background. West Ham legend, England legend, the only player to score a hat trick in a World Cup final. Funny too think the lad wouldn’t even have been a centre forward if it wasn’t for legendary West Ham manager Ron Greenwood converting him to the role, and he wasn’t even a first choice forward for England in ‘66. Legend.
