Playing behind closed doors...
|
|
Just seen that certain figures in the media are saying that they should look at us playing behind closed doors for the remainder of the season....
Great idea! By protesting inside the stadium we can keep the ground closed until they are forced into making it a fit for purpose football stadium - relegation is irrelevant now, hit them where it hurts, their pride and their pockets.
Stream the remain gin home games live in all the locals around Upton Park - the Boleyn, Black Lion, Nathans etc - ticket only affair, £2 entry, al proceeds go the the venue to help them survive the damage done by the board - just need to shut the doors, close the curtains / lower the blinds at 2.30pm.
Despite their efforts to stop things - Swallow and Morgan have started something that can't be stopped. Forget the negative press that will appear tonight & tomorrow - and there will be a lot of it attempting to create a feeling of shame among the fans....Don't be ashamed, be proud - today was the day we finally stood up for our history, heritage and the past generations. It is 100% necessary and we now have three weeks to push it on further. If the fans are united and not afraid of relegation, we can not be defeated by the media or board. We've gone down before and we'll go down again, and we'll come back - as long as the fans are together this club will never disappear.
The time is now, lets get whats left of our West Ham back.

I thought our 1st half performance was ok, without being "good"
There were several tactical blunders made
Playing Hart was the most obvious one, though in fairness, we could have played the 1st half without a goalie he had so little to do
Antonio on the left wing? I don't think so! He hasn't got a left foot. Time & time again he did well to get into perfect crossing positions then had to cut back because of his inability to cross with his left foot. In fact, he even once tried to cross with the outside of his right foot!
We could have been 2 up at half time but we weren't
You could see Burnley getting the edge when they brought on the extra forward & us pushing forward more & more desperately to get a goal
The fucking huge hole created for the unmarked scorer of their first goal was entirely down to our midfielders not getting back quickly enough. Terrible defending. The hallmark of our season
That was the catalyst for the storm that has been brewing for months & it was always on the cards after the way the board have behaved
I don't agree with the pitch invasion by the few supporters & it clearly rattled our players. It's nonesense to believe otherwise
The protests towards the directors box however, were absolutely & fully justified
It also highlighted the unsuitability of the stadium as a football venue from a safety/security point of view
Perhaps it would be good for the rest of our home games this season to be played behind closed doors
Then our directors can watch our home games in peace, without their paying customers to harass them, while they contemplate how they have right royally fucked up our once great club!

We should have been leading by at least 1 goal at half time. We had a very good first half but our finishing was poor.
Dead and buried before the pitch invasion? Absolutely wrong.

Maybe repeated poor behaviour will see us in breach of our deal, get us thrown out and made homeless.
We'll be playing out of Orients ground before long.
I don't understand why the stadium is such a big deal now. We've been knowing the move was happening for years.
Let's face it, it's just because our performances are shit and we were on such a high in that last season at the Boleyn.
It's not the ground that's the big problem, it's the expectations that were set and the board are culpable in part for that. The other part is the fans themselves for being so gullible.
We are in perfect form for relegation and without the crowds support to lift the players then it's unlikely to change.

Re: Playing behind closed doors...

face facts. A good 70% of support over there are either just wet wipe wankers, old cunts with no go in them or plums who'll go and support the team no matter how much they get mugged off because they're fucking backward.
It leaves 30%, 3 in every 10 that might cause a scene. Be a pain. Act like the naughty cunts we had a reputation for - but with chirpy cockney sparrow humour!
Now seeing how brave some of the 70% got today when they piped up and then got put in their place for slagging off the pricks running on the pitch more than the cunts running the club suggests the 30% can easily and should dictate/bully how we vent our anger.
Something needs to give, either the 'working class' grassroot supporters take this by the scruff of the neck or we'll end up a poor man's Arsenal.
AS & co fucked this right up, today needed that march to happen.
Let's have it fucking right though - there's still a good fight in the some of us - as the saying goes 'it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog'

Don’t be such benders, there’s no way we will have to play behind closed doors.
I was there today and up until the fans turning it was truly awful, I may as well have been staring at a brick wall it was that dull. Don’t blame the support this isn’t are fault, the team was dead and buried before the pitch invasion. It took some balls to do what they did in this day and age.

The last 5 games we have won one game and lost two conceding 3 goals and two conceding 4 goals.
The January Transfer passed by as usual very quietly even though we were crying out for players we had several Injuries and too we could have done with at least three decent signings instead we get one OK loan and one 9 million non scoring Striker.
Our manager has been ultra defensive even in home games playing without strikers is a norm he is terrible with tactics and even worse with his substitutions if a player sparkles one week he drops them the next.
Our new home feels like a big wonderful bowl of nothing the pitch is 20 yards from the closest fan.
Now you tell me, how much more is it possible to decline?

“ heroically accelerating the decline of our club “
Better than the slow death that the 2 cunts are putting us through.

"Everyone on that pitch today was a hero."
Possibly the stupidest most cringey thing I've read on here.
Yeah thanks for heroically accelerating the decline of our club, you fucking spastics.

Reading across various fan sites and social media there is a split in the fanbase that has never been seen before.
Something huge needs to happen to bring us all together again. In fairness these owners need shooting, they have destroyed this club and even the sympathisers (claret & hugh being the worst) need to accept that one of only two things can move us forward....
a) new owners who will deliver what was promised to the fans when moving
or
b) the development of an actual football stadium.
The positive thing to come from today is that breaking point has been reached - there is no come back from this.
Sell the club and fuck off.
