The club has announced that the first of three end of season auctions for Irons memorabilia begins tomorrow morning (Wed).
And in the picture above you will see some of the items the club has decided to put under the ‘hammer’.
The club says in its website announcement that “Wednesday’s auction presents an unique opportunity to become the proud new owner of a precious Boleyn Ground keepsake as the Club prepares to embark on an exciting new chapter in Hammers history. ”
However, at the ClaretandHugh facebook group a different view is being taken by some and here’s some random comments from members:
O Just having a look at the West Ham Auction site I can’t understand why some of these Lots are on there.
They are part of our West Ham history, not fixtures & fittings from the ground. 😞
Another example of melons going into one.The same melons who in a week or two wont give a sh*t whats happened to all this stuff.Do we need to call Del Boy,see if he has a free lock up or room in his garage for this to be forgotten about for decades.Maybe one of these items will turn into Del Boys watch he became a millionaire with.Maybe in 100yrs time an East Stand bog seat might be priceless & end up in Southerbys 😉
Now everyone take a deep breath stop & think for a millisecond, we are moving to a new stadium that isn’t our’s. I am guessing that alot of the items being put up for auction are not seen by us poor supporters apart from a few seen on stadium tours (boo hoo). So does it really matter what the club do with it all? It would be pretty pointless to put it all into storage for ever never to be seen again or to skip it.
This auction is giving everyone a chance of owning a part of our history, embrace it & ffs stop MOANING.
Since the last game it has turned into a MOANATHON hasn’t it.As Rad said,few weeks time this auction & all the items will be meaningless & forgotten about by 99% of the support.Moaning for moaning sake lol.I bet if the club said they were putting everything in storage never to be seen again then these same fans would be up in arms saying they should hold auctions so fans can get a memory of Upton Park rather than throwing everything in a warehouse somewhere never to see the light of day again.
Yep,you just know it Rick.
haha… I broke my ignorant piggy bank, l’ve been saving so long… I definitely want the armchair where Samuel laid for four glorious years and I also want his notebook where he wrote his cunning tactics, it’s priceless… I bet I would find “Kevin I love you” written on it… lol 😀
Good luck with your bids Matte,i hope you are successful with it.I think you face some stiff competition for that armchair,check underneath the cushion you might find a stash of old chewing gum haha 🙂
hahah… I really hope that Rads, an old chewing gum would be the icing on the cake… lol 😀
Lol Matte,check carefully & you might even find a pair of Karen Bradys’ knickers down the side of the arm.I did hear they were quite close,lol.If you find an old pair of pants don’t touch them,they will be Nolans 😀
hahha… that armchair could be a gold mine Rads… I also hope to find a clump of Russell Brand’s hair… 😀
Hahaha,if you have any change left over in your ignorant piggy bank maybe you can buy what he travelled to Chadwell Heath in every day 🙂

It wouldnt be so bad Matte,H can take you badger hunting,lol 🙂
All profits go to our academy. Does that make you whingers feel any better?ffs most of us wouldn’t have known most of this stuff even existed if it hadn’t been put up for sale. Now it’s suddenly vital for the club to keep it.
That’s a bad attitude problem you have Mooro,did know one tell you that you are ment to be outraged & up in the arms,haha.Come on man,play the game 😀
Or even ‘no one’,lol 🙂
