Angus_Young Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Did I read somewhere that they have sold 52000 season tickets for next year? Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Big game tonight - recall Man Utd being cost the title twice there in the 90s - 91/92 and 94/95. Could muck up a champions league spot tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but the capacity was upped to 60,000 because demand was so high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why has everyone suddenly changed from Upton Park to the Boleyn ground? I know that is the original name and Upton Park is an adopted one,has everyone suddenly gone all sentimental over it?

Geed Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 They have sold 10,000 under 16 season tickets at £99 a child and 42,000 adult season tickets at £289. Family of four season ticket £776 equivalent to £41 a match for a family. Well done West Ham keeping prices down, a full ground on reduced prices is better than a ground half full with extortionate prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlueGaz Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Great what they have done - they pumped some of this extra TV money into the season ticket pot, so great to see them giving back to the fans albeit in a round about way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geed Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yeah exactly that's why German match prices so cheap they use the money from TV deal they get over they and don't screw there own fans over by still keeping ticket prices high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I very much doubt all 42000 adult season tickets are in the £289 category Been trying to get to Upton for a game since Christmas but no luck - had to go to their u21 final game. Great stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecie Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I went in November, it's a cracking location for a stadium. Shane that they've decided to sell their soul. The Olympic Stadium will be pish. Still, I'm glad I get to subsidise tickets for a multi-million pound business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It's sad that over a century of memories has to disappear because of the desperation to chase the mighty dollar. Football should be about tradition and history. Another part of the fabric of the game, dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnbruman Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Went to Blackpool West Ham play off final at Wembley in 2012. Having been to quite a few play off finals with Blackpool its usually a good laugh with the opposition supporters - but West Ham - fook me - almost to a man they were a bunch of khuunts - always hated them since.

Stapes Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Went to a West Ham v Newcastle game a few years back and thought I'd stepped into a White Power meeting. Never heard anything like it before or since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
