The kit show must go on

The West Ham Home Kit specular last night has received mixed reception on social media after it was streamed live on youtube and facebook but as the old saying goes you needed to be there to fully appreciate the event.

My daughter and I were two of the lucky five hundred supporters to be invited to the event hosted by youtuber Spencer Owen. The evening was very good humoured and there was half an our of build up before the show was streamed around the world.

Some of the more traditional fan base will moan this kind of thing just isn’t West Ham, I would imagine they are the same supporters who never wanted to move from the Boleyn Ground.  Let’s face facts we are  now a global brand and these kind of media events are here to stay. Personally I quite enjoyed last night and got to meet Gökhan Töre, Sofiane Feghouli and Mark Noble in person and have a chat.  All the players gave a lot of time to the 500 fans who gave up their evening to be there.
