What’s everyone’s preference for the next crest? I’m personally gonna be voting for a simplistic hammer style shield like 58-68. But the vibe I’m getting is the castle might well be making a comeback due to the appetite for it from the fans.
People seemed furious it wasn’t back on the kit today, despite the consultation not even happening yet!
Not sure how this is going to go but just wanted to get some perspective. I moved to east London from Australia in 2018 and basically started following west ham cos it was the team people around me were following. Particularly over the last 4 or so years I’ve really invested and made the effort to go to games and be as engaged as possible, but the more I do the more I kinda feel on the outter.
There seems to be an overwhelming vibe that anybody who didn’t go to upton park isn’t a hammer; and anybody who only started supporting after the Stratford move is the main issue with club today.
I get that I am probably missing a lot by when I arrived here, but the vitriol surrounding Upton Park and where that hatred is projected is pretty off putting. I basically feel like my support is not welcome, by the loudest fans anyway.
I don’t have any friends who also support them, but most people I have met at the grounds have always been good value, so I hold onto that. It really feels like one large part fan base hates the other, and I happen to be on the wrong side of it.
Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I know my friends across town at Fulham don’t share this experience!
