gnasher16 30,065 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Got a long trip over to Bristol tomorrow to watch the Hammers we sold out our allocation so some fans have been getting tickets via other means.....a few young lads i know have come unstuck it dont seem right to me.... the Fa Cup has a tradition over the years of fans being spread around the ground why start looking into it now......we are obviously victims of our past but havent we served our debt to society by having to watch years of shit football .....the Fa Cup to West Ham is like the Champions league cup to the big clubs couldnt they have given us a break ! http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-City-says-stopped-50-West-Ham-fans/story-25913829-detail/story.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulf 820 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Im not a big football fan gnash and this is a bit off topic but a few years ago when the Fa cup was played in wales we were in a pub in newport with a load of west ham lads and couldnt fault them great laugh and some great banter .i was expecting to see trouble after reading and hearing some stories over the years but you couldnt ask for a better bunch of lads mate ..they were credit to west ham mate. anyway back to the topic . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,065 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Point being these were straight going everyday fans singled out......if they,d been on bans or whatever then fair enough but having done their checks why not just let them be......Bristol City were a force back in the day but its hardly a naughty fixture these days....last time i was at Ashton Gate was 20 years ago and there was no trouble then and there wont be tomorrow i just think they could of been a bit more flexible. Thats good to hear Paul theres a few gooduns out there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keepdiggin 9,559 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 must be different up north but when you go to another city following your team and you get a slap no point crying about it (on a hunting forum). Bit cringe worthy that as you try and come across. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yorkshire 151 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 They should leave them be , all singles or pairs I would have thought . no body going to "slap" a couple of fans traveling to support their team and should have a good day out. I been to BC plenty in my youth and always found them arsey regards ticket allocation .went up over the bridge for a few early drinks out of way one season , we stood around the old style jukebox taking piss out of each other , my mate go,s to sit/lean on the glass top ,, he go,s straight through piercing his arse on the old pin you put the records on lol..he never broke the glass it didn't exist ..

dytkos 17,784 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Heard it on the radio today, commentators apologised for language as they were in an "area with a load of passionate City supporters" FFS, all supporters should be passionate about their club. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bit cringe worthy that as you try and come across. What on earth are you talking about......do you know ?.............who got a slap off who......whos crying about coming across what on a hunting forum.......whats cringeworthy about not having enough tickets.......very strange,best just watching telly when your drunk mate ! Your right Yorkshire fans should be left to follow their team which is exactly what happened,heard a few stories of Hammers fans mixed in with City no problems at all they were a bit embarrassed by being told they had to report it to stewards they were just a good set of footie fans,had a bit of a giggle and a singsong like anyone else. Thought we was quite lucky to get the result to be fair we didnt get started till 15 minutes from the end ! Edited January 25, 2015 by gnasher16 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftm 3,357 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 used to get invovled in the odd bust up [,s] mostly with our rivals [nufc] but "ordinary" fans were NOT to be harmed in any shape or form we only had fistycuffs with whoever was looking for it -i know it sounds childish /stupid but who hasnt done daft things in there past? i think in todays scene i agree with the hammers fans being allowed to mingle with bristol fans as long as its only banter and women /kids dont get scared through it -billy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yorkshire 151 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I remember when Luton town banned away fans , against their own fans wishes . we got a few cars together and made the journey with tickets Luton fans had posted up to us .. All seats bang at back of net lol . they appreciated the fact that we turned up and showed support for our team . not sure Millwall would have received the same hospitality lol.. Long time ago now , but good times all the same .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok but how many of that 90 would go to one of the top clubs if they got the chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,065 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 You would hope any player would want to play for a big club if they got a chance wouldnt you ?......But whats that got to do with anything your question was how many foreign players West Ham have.
