Re: West Ham United v Macclesfield match thread
We only generated 24 pages of a thread whereas Man City got to 84 pages in their games tonight.
They ain't pleased much either at the ***** that they had to endure for 120 minutes, scraped through courtesy of an own goal and won on p.k.'s
Oh well, there's nowt pleasing some folk I suppose !!

Some things are more important for sure.simon hammer wrote:hornsey - you are a West Ham supporter.
dean_whu - you are a West Ham supporter.
You both support the same club so why the need for all the "I'm a better fan than you are...ner, ner, ner ner, ner" crap?
I've supported this club for 28 years now...used to have a season ticket but gave it up about 7 years ago. I had my reasons and I'm not going into them here. Now though it's purely a case of I can't afford to go anymore because I refuse to fall into the money trap that is Football. Do I still qualify as a real fan?
Or because I choose to spend my money on my wife and children and make sure they are looked after instead of buying a season ticket, and because I am prepared to 'make do' with a (sometimes) shitty internet feed or just radio commentary, am I now counted as an armchair fan who isn't a proper supporter?
Some things are far, far more important than Football.
Still think you arre only a 'real fan' if you go though.

Re: West Ham United v Macclesfield match thread
I disagree about the 'real' fan thing as it cannot solely be about whether you have the money or personal circumstances that allow you to go to every home and away game (or even any).Marky wrote: Some things are more important for sure.

Some people live much further away from the ground than other people - someone who goes to half the home games who lives over in Ireland is, in my opinion, much more dedicated than I am at the moment as I only have a home season ticket now and currently just live a few miles away from the ground (we could do a thread on how far away we all live ).
If someone who never goes to the game makes the effort to find internet streams to watch every game we play or to get radio commentary or follow updates here or somewhere similar that shows a level of dedication that makes them a "real" fan in my mind.
If someone just says they support Chelsea or someone but doesn't really care about the results and just uses wins as an excuse to gloat and doesn't really feel it when they lose then that is not a real fan.
It is not possible to categorise yourself as better than someone else without knowing the full circumstances - just counting visits to Upton Park cannot be the sole factor in being a "real" fan

What good to those idiots think it will bring? I must admit the majority didn’t look like the usual faces more like Chavs day out without a clue what they were actually chanting but still no excuse!
West ham has always been about pride and passion with a solid fan base that are proud to be west ham fans regardless of where we are in league. As for the football matters they will sort themselves out as they always do, but the fans need to stop with the ridiculous songs that are making our club look like a F**king laughing stock!
:
Unfortunately me and my boy were in there last night and I have to say it was a proper airheads night out. They would have sung anything that another chav started last night.
And they helped reinforce all the b*llocks that the press keep banging on about our club. Hence todays headlines.....
At least it will be back to the usual fans on Saturday.

your own team and then hornsey decided I wasnt a season ticket holder and therefore not a propfer fan.
I was just trying to point out that actually I was a season ticket holder and that it didnt matter if I wasnt.
My dad never had a season ticket but I havent met anyone who was a bigger fan...................
Irons!!
