West Ham

The castles had to be dropped for obvious reasons.......i would think anyone even remotely patriotic would be respectful of the new badge regardless what club they support.

Apart from the obvious change of ground I'd think this badge change would be a hard one too take mate? I see that the castles were an iconic thing for the club at your old ground.....I can't see why they couldn't have based the new badge around a castle design.

 

For the simple reason that the castle would have no relevance at the new ground.....the castle was just a representation of what stood on Upton Park before it was a football ground......so in effect the old badge was more of a tribute to the area whereas the new badge is predominantly a tribute to the origins of the club itself.

 

If you can be bothered heres a little clip that explains it better than i can.

Fair play that mate.....when you look at it like that it actually makes sense. Again not knowing much about your club I didn't even know the relevance of the 'hammers'.....I do now...??

I probably shouldn't tell you this because you,ll probably use it against him ,,but gnashed wasn't born in the east end either ,,he is originally from kings Lynn and only moved to London aged seven ,,fact

Whats all this about ....not sure where you got that from Stan.......but where the f**k is Kings Lynn ?

You have got no idea how much I laughed picturing your face when you read that ...sorry youngster ...but simple things amuse simple people and all that .

Must admit i skipped over a lot of the thread so maybe ive missed something.....or is it really as simple as that..........dont tell me i,ll live in ignorance.

 

The bisto kid was calling Wilfy and Tufty plastic east enders while he was educating your lot ,really that simple ,like I said ,simple minds and all that .

 

Oh i see..................................but Kings Lynn i looked on a map its near Norwich somewhere !!

 

Kings Lynn...rougher than the eastend....FACT

 

Of course !6 fingers give you a bigger fist!

The whole bus incident is a storm in a teacup. Some people, assisted by the OTT media coverage, have jumped on this to try and taint a special day for West Ham fans. You just look at the reaction and comments of some early in this thread. It's not the first, and won't be the last team bus to get a pelting.

I don't know the geography around the ground, but surely given the occasion etc. it was bad planning on the part of both clubs and the police to have the away bus pass huge numbers of the home support outside a boozer. They may as well have painted targets on the side of the bus??
