West Ham Groups United marathon meeting with Brady

West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady and Executive director of Marketing and Communications Tara Warren met with representatives of West Ham Groups United yesterday in a marathon meeting which is reported to have lasted over four hours.

Nik Tucker from Crossed Hammers who was one of those who attended said on social media. “Well, I’m on my way home after 4 hours sat West ham along Real West Ham Fans Action Group, West Ham Fan TV, Hammers Chat, KUMB, WHUSIA and Irons group in a meeting with Brady, no Sullivan no Gold!! I’ve left with the impression those who have met with them before have heard it all before!! The badge was discussed and noted! History/Museum was discussed and noted!! Transfers were passed over as the chairs were not present!! Stewards addressed and noted!!! TBH I will be marching”

The Real West Ham fans posted on their Twitter page post-meeting:

“Following today’s meeting which David Gold and David Sullivan failed to attend, we put various points across to Karren Brady. We are awaiting the clubs response. However, we feel as group committees we must still march as planned on the 10th March. Sorry we have to cancel tomorrow’s meeting at the working mans club as there’s nothing for us to discuss, as you’ve seen the club will put a plan together but we think it’s too late to execute in time. Let’s hope after the 10th March the club will work with us”

Graeme Howlett from KUMB.com who was also at the meeting added today on Twitter “To clarify, there will be a brief synopsis of the main points from yesterday’s meeting with Board members Karren Brady and Tara Warren posted on the KUMB Forum later today.”

  1. Hmmm, I’m not a fan of the march but disappointed neither of the two David’s appeared for this and to be honest Karren is part of the problem.

  2. And , just why , should the two Dave’s be present at a meeting designed to belittle them .
    They saved the club from Liquidation and kept us in the Premiership . The whole thing is disgusting in my opinion . We all have our feelings and aspirations for our Club , but these so called “ real fans “ are causing a massive dent in our future . We Moved , we are trying to go forward , we need the Stadium ( like it or not , Upton Park was never going to be any bigger ) and the good things to come . What’s the problem ,,,,, lack of Beer and MArmite sandwiches!!! . Three clubs will be relegated this season and with NO THANKS to the “ real fans “ we won’t be One of them . Reckon these idiots need to support the club instead of ridiculing the Board ,,,, because all they will achieve is lower the moral of the team .
    We are NOT Spurs , Man Utd , Man City , Liverpool , Chelsea or Arsenal , all whom have a LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND . We are West Ham owned by a pair of West Ham United lovers that are looking and trying Thier best to make us proud again …… if that goes against the grain of the “ real fans “ brigade ,,, then Phuck the lot of them . We are going through a period of change and patience is required by all fans . Demonstrating will not make us any better ,,, if anything , it will make us Worse ,,,, idiots .

    • Couldn’t agree more. There is so many joining this march wagon, it makes me really down to think we have so many deluded fans. I honestly wonder how many on the march actually attend the games.

      The only thing the march will achieve is more bad press for WestHam. All the Real WestHam Fans Group are doing is dragging our name though the gutters.

      They shouldn’t be allowed to be called The “Real” Westham Group, because it makes it seem that they are the only real WestHam fans. I don’t want them representing me.

      This march has made me despise them.

      No doubt I will now be labelled a board lover. But nothing is that black and white, I think there is lots they can do better. But I also think there are stuff they do right, and I honestly believe they do have the clubs interesting at heart, and they are generally “REAL” Westham fans. How many owners go to every game, home and away.

      I’m sure if a mutli-billionaire came in with an offer for the club, and stated in written they would heavy invest in the club they would move aside, but get real this isn’t going to happen.

      • Deluded ? You Muppet !! Have you’re say on the 10 march ? Everyone’s opinion is welcome ! Come and be heard ! Make you’re point ! I doubt it very much you are a season ticket holder you’re self ! To make such a statement is deluded in itself mate !
        Get a grip ! See you on the 10th lol!

        • FYI – I have been a season ticket holder, since i was a kid.

          • I won’t be on the march on the 10th – because I don’t agree with it, but most importantly I don’t agree with the timing.

            If you really want to march against the board, then do it in the summer not in a crucial part of our season. It will achieve nothing, but it could affect the players.

        • Also maybe deluded was the wrong word to use in hindsight, as you have clearly taken offensive from it. I do not mean to offend any one, because every one has the write to voice their opinion.

          I just feel there is a time and place, and before a very important game is not the time.

          I care greatly for this club, and some time my passion gets the better of me. I worry that matching now will have a negative effect on the manger and players.

          I would rather they march after the season has finished, if they really feel they need to.

    • You would expect the two Dave’s to be there as the club asked for the meet and would assume they cared.
      I am so pleased you are happy with what they have done to our club good for you.
      A pair of West Ham lovers you say well I agree with you maybe on Mr Gold but even you can’t be stupid enough to believe that the man who admits he supports Cardiff is a “realwesthamfan” member.
      See you on the 10th sunshine.

    • You’ve been going Ott a lot lately so enough is enough for me ! Have an opinion but getting personal talking complete is a different ball game ? There’s a few on here lately ain’t there ! Same goes for them ! If you don’t like other peoples comments elsewhere and take you’re mates with you !!
      And take that useless piece of 💩 poppodom as well the waste of space. What a waste of 5 million quid a year adding to the finances problem ! Open you’re eyes man ffs and get some omega 3 down you ! You clearly ain’t thinking very well .

    • To make a statement like its nothing to do with the players when everyone in england knows the unplayable one has dabbled is hilarious!!! Ask anyone lofl !!!! Its common knowledge .
      Admin?? Its like a Benny hill sketch about idi amin lol !!! Amin. 📥 amout 📤

    • Kevin – The idiot is you. What a load of rubbish. As far as I am concerned the Real West Ham Fans Group are doing a great job, and asking the questions that everyone else won’t..It’s a good job they are around…#MARCH 10TH

    • Your clearly not a fan,I would say you are a fan of the board more then the club,or perhaps you are on the forum with an agenda ,anyway to say anyone who marches is not a real fan is idiotic and narrow minded although perhaps it’s your job

  3. Ok so I think the Dave’s should of showed up, but in all honestly I don’t blame them. Regardless if they showed up or not it wouldn’t of made a difference.

    Do you really think the “Real Westham Fans Group” had any attention of listing to what they had to say? I don’t, it would have been them imposing their agenda, and it wouldn’t of mattered what was said they would of just turned everything around to a negative against the board.

    I don’t think the board are prefect, far from it. However I don’t believe they are the money grabbing antichrist set up to destroy the club, which it seems a large portion of fans do. The grass is always greener on the other side.

  4. And now just to show how well the club is run…up comes ANTI DOPING ——— WTF…. Anything else the board want to discuss. The clubs in turmoil all over the place from top to bottom ..it’s a frigging shambles….

  5. Yeah Kevin it was the board that asked for the meeting so why don’t you get your head out of your arse and make your feelings known at the March you’re just another brave keyboard warrior

  6. Who wants to be Spuds anyway …lmfao
    All I’m trying to say is …can the people RESPONSIBLE for certain jobs at our beloved club …PLEASE DO YOUR JOBS PROPERLY!!
    AND THAT STARTS AT THE TOP AND ROLLS DOWNHILL SUBSEQUENTLY – IF YOU GET PAID HANDSOMELY then your expected to SHOW RESULTS – ONLY THE NEW MANAGEMENT TEAM DESERVE THE MERIT ACCREDITED TO THEM !!
    If it’s a blame game then put your hands up and admit your mistakes……if …IF you do well then pats on backs and loads of hugs but we are nowhere near that stage Yet!

  7. The fact Delboy and Rodney stayed away, and sent others in to bat for them, (remember that’s how they sacked Slav too) speaks volumes of these two clowns. No balls. If they don’t like the heat that goes with running a football club then they should walk. They aren’t leaders, they aren’t capable of contextualising their decisions, they are little lost boys I’m afraid. And to those who cannot see this, I feel for you.

  8. couldnt agree more with kevin and cole james above and whatever you say about brady youve got to say hats off to her for facing up to the bully boys in the absence of the two old gentleman who are their usual target.
