ClaretandHugh has learned that the little boy – seen so anxious and apparently worried at events unfolding during the Watford game – had only one problem…he couldn’t see the game!
And the club has told us through our usual highly informed sources that he and his father have now been relocated in the Bobby Moore Upper.
Many newspapers and ourselves showed the highly emotional image of the lad being comforted by his father during the match.
But we are more than happy to report that his problems were not caused by any events inside the stadium as some fans were ejected.
Our source told us: “The little lad’s only problem was that he couldn’t see the game and he and his father have now been moved to a better position as a result.
“This opportunity is open to everybody is unhappy and they can make their request for a move at the ticket office where every effort ill be made to sort it out.”
And this is a perfect example of how people put two & two together & come up with five.The amount of comments I have read on sites from fans proclaiming he was only crying because of fighting,i mean what else could it be?????? was a joke.I think it’s time some of the drama queens on blogs had their keyboards confiscated hehe
Yeah Ed I saw some guys getting shouted down by the masses when they pointed out he might be crying about something else 🙂
“But we are more than happy to report that his problems were not caused by any events inside the stadium as some fans were ejected.”
You’re conveniently missing the point, in your desire to back the right to stand up campaign – the lad is crying as he can’t see the game – due to the “EVENT” OF A BUNCH OF SELFISH LOUTS INSISTING ON STANDING, refusing to move, being thrown out -all totally unnecessary – that is why he could not see but that clearly doesn’t matter as apparently some believe you can only get an atmosphere from standing( and being ****ed in all likeliehood – what a bunch of lads they are ). – and then a burst of Where were you at Upton Park? (as if they were the only ones there before). before you hit someone – now that is a disgrace and an embarrassment. Regardless of this child, there were others who were crying and frightened, having to leave early – and that is not acceptable. Yes, the club might have thought about it better but did anyone seriously think our own would fight each other – just because some bonehead might have stood in the corner of the BML and the MainStand Lower at Upton Park before, doesn’t give him the right to now stand, in contravention of stadium rules, in what he purports to believe is his same patch in the London Stadium.
I disagree with you about the atmosphere. We all know that standing is against the rules and we all know that standing is tolerated at every premiership ground in certain areas – the TBL being one. The noise and atmosphere is generated and maintained by these standing sections at every ground. In this particular case, the crowd were standing in the lower east corner next to the TBL and I think most people accept that should not be allowed. I am not defending the standers at all but, I would have had the common sense not to buy a season ticket in that area if I were the father of that upset child.
Where has there been a “Right To Stand Campaign” on here.I must have missed that.
I hate to say I told you so… Apparently the picture ‘spoke for itself’
Oh well, another point of calming. Win on the weekend will add another point and hopefully by Southampton the segregation will have been sorted too. Onwards and upwards COYI
Don’t care what anyone says, there is no excuse for any West Ham fan to spoil the enjoyment of other West Ham fans. Get the theme here? West Ham fans. Fellow supporters. Some who are unable to stand. (most who are unable have been here much longer than any of yous). Many more are our next generation of fans, but you think it quite acceptable to spoil their view, leaving some in tears. Oh well done big lads. You are pathetic.
