Sky Sports will be serving up a Hammers treat for the last game at the Boleyn.

Plans are well advanced from the broadcaster to ensure that those unable to get to the game will see the ‘old lady’ get a brilliant send off.

Sky regulars Tony Gale and Tony Cottee will be giving hourly bulletins from Upton Park whilst Bill Bonds and Alan Devonshire will be heavily featured.

It would also prevent some of the biggest names in club history from making their entrance for the last time so let’s all stay cool.
