This is one thing that gets my goat. It's more of a media issue than a fans one. I, and what I believe would be 99.999999999 per cent of football fans, couldn't care less if someone is gay. Makes no difference to my life, good luck to them. Whenever the issue comes up the media say why aren't footba...

I wasn't there so can't comment on the actual incident, but surely with the small numbers at these matches those who have watched football factory to many times should be easy to identify and ban. I'll defend a bit of youthful exuberance but going to football to shout abuse at people behind the &quo...

I really fancied this one having been forced to miss Boreham cos of work, but unfortunately the situation is the same this weekend. Glad there's a home match on Tuesday to get my fix!! I think this should be a good test and hopefully the team is starting gel as I thought we looked really good in pat...

As said it should have always been this way, I just wonder if it's the clubs or west hams decision to make. Is it me or does the club seem to be valuing the supporters more since the takeover? Although I must admit I still won't be attending having never supported West ham, it is a decent way to spe...

There's a couple of decent boozers on the high street so I'll stick to them. And an amazing Thai restaurant that came to the rescue last season. Set meal B for four people, can't go wrong.

No need to explain yourself mate, you, and the other moderators, do a great job running the site for **** all and if you want to take something down you can. It might upset some people, and people may disagree (I have in the past) but you're the ones putting the time and effort in so if you feel it'...

Should've cashed in really, I think his value has peaked. Quite liked the look of cheek, but I know not too judge after one match.

It wasn't a major issue in my humble, a bit of hand bags and beer heroes who were having trouble staying vertical trapping off. It only takes a couple of oxygen thieves to ruin it. The trouble is you never know which team is gonna cause grief so to avoid it give the best stand in the ground to us an...

Completely agree arnu, I let myself down quite regularly as a youngster but now at the grand old age of 35 (today) I'm completely baffled by the need to shout abuse at someone you don't even know. But it was, is and always will be so the solution, if there is one, has to take that into account. I ha...

This all sounds pretty juicy for a Sunday afternoon. I didn't see the thread but is there Any chance of giving us a clue as to why it was deleted? I'm double intrigued!! And a bit nosy.

Have to agree there, very impressive and putting the post to shame!!

Pay on the day I believe.

Ominous start to the season. People can bang on about how football fans should be able to share a bar all they want, and I agree it should be possible, but the simple fact is it isn't. Quite a few of their fans were obviously "enjoying" their day out and were acting like beer heroes. I don...

Shame it's fallen on a week night but I'm buzzing for the wood away. Looking back at it, I think it was a very good 1st performance with so many new cogs. Just wondering how many we might get over there on Tuesday? Anyone else going?

Really good read.
