it reminds me of the time i left my victorian big house in East Ham after 25 years to a wates type house in Dagenham, sad but life went on with new memories.

I love this pic of the old place, 1925

That was the year my great Granddad moved to Waghorn Road from Allas Road Bethnal Green and him and my granddad started going. Granddad was 14 then, sadly left us 23 years ago now. Glad he's not here to see it really :(

I have seen the pitch in better nick, sack the grounds Man! I was there myself only last Friday & it is sad to see the old ground disappearing. However, onwards & upwards!

Was over there before Christmas. Had a little walk about. Couple of homeless blokes were sleeping in the entrances to the BML. Felt a bit strange, and sad when I'd left, knowing I'll probably never be over that way again. I'd have no reason to.

Absolute travesty we have moved. Planning permission passed to redevelop the chicken run and increase capacity from 35k to 42k which is enough for us. Imagine how that would have looked with the whole ground joined up and complete.
There were chapters still to be written at Upton Park.

Im in agreement with you Green St player, it pains me to see the old place being raised to the ground.

I wouldn't mind the new place so much if a) the walk to the stadium wasn't so far and so fucking dull (get some of the independent sellers back along the route) and b) the fans were so fucking far away from the pitch.

How would 42,000 be enough for us. Fans are struggling to get tickets for West Brom and that is at 57,000 just now. The only way 42 would be enough for us is if we spent a long while in the champs

Side, if we was still at UP we would have no tourists, freebies, cheap tickets to fill the ground so 42k is fine for real supporters.

It also ends Rumford, for some it has, if not in total certainly in part
