Glad to see they are all adolescent teenagers that know no better.
What has a 51 year old got to prove to the world ?
These Sons, Husbands, Fathers, Granddads need to get a grip on life.
Some of the fans banned in the 80’s seem to be rearing their heads at the OS, the named ones by Police could support either team although two of them are more likely to be Chelsea based on their post codes (although living West myself that is no guarantee). The sooner we sort these problems out the better, it may even be a blessing in disguise if they sort the stewarding and stadium / fan security out COYI !!!
I should say thats my opinion anyway 🙂
I searched/stalked the names on fb and found 2 who I think are the same with west ham pics
Dear Mr. Hugh Southon – I’m really very worried that a portion ( The Bad portion that is of course !) of away fans coming to West Ham will deliberately make trouble just to highlight and give our club and New Stadium more headaches at a time when we are very vulnerable with so much bad press & media coverage already !! – I think the two Davids must make this problem their very top priority regardless of costs – Even if it means introducing new ground-breaking ( excuse the unintended pun ! ) Technologies & Regulations !! – What do you think Mr.Southon ? and do you or anyone have any suggestions or Idea’s on how to implicate these measures ?? ( Good Ideas can always come from the people with the best knowledge and experience, ie = Loyal West Ham fans – Maybe do a post and ask the Fans ?? )
