But yer your right, its worth ruining the club to prove just how much you love upton park and despise the thought of moving 1 mile down the road to an incredible stadium, better transport links, cheaper tickets an opportunity to get new 'young fans', more income, more money to spend on players.....

i love upton park and would be just as happy if we stay their as i would be if we move. But i genuinely fear our own fans are going to ruin the club by 'striking'.
This conversation is taking a turn for the surreal. Suddenly any fan cancelling their season ticket is hurting the club and trying to ruin WHUFC.
No one has the right to lecture someone on who or what they spend their money on. It's that simple.

pink palermo...how is it outrageous?

your telling me that it doesnt hurt the club? it is everyones right to go or not to go to football....however by people cancelling their season ticket just on the basis the club is moving a mile down the road, for me that is outrageous.

'i love west ham so much im not going to go in protest', i think its bollo* and is hurting the club more than you think.

If the club move and attendances are poor then you'll have to look at those that chose to move (i.e. the owners) for putting supporters in a place where they choose not to go.

Our fans have shown more than enough loyalty over the years. Given the way football has changed over the years it is easy to see how something like this could be the straw that broke the camel's back for some people.

Your saying you have the right to tell people how they can or can't spend their money?

I'm surprised how confident the pro-movers are that we are moving and the stadium is gonna be fine, not even Karren Brady is that confident, maybe cos she knows how much money will be spent on the stadium conversion.

And you don't want to be hypocritical?!
Plans have nothing to do with my views.
Its how the move will change West Ham, club statement:
"We are ambitious for our great club and aim to set the benchmark for visiting away and neutral football supporters from across the globe to come and enjoy the iconic stadium and be part of our Premier League club experience.''

For my part, I've not disputed your right to make your opinions known .I have, however, expressed mine in reply .

You wouldn't deny me the same courtesy I afforded you would you ?

That statement could be used as PR for Upton Park.

The point I'm making is that you seem to have passed judgement on moving to the OS before setting foot in it. None of us know what it's going to be like. It could be the best thing we've ever done. It could be a pile of crap. I just find it strange that you and others are so quick to write it off without even knowing what it will entail.

Seeing as you're likely to quit West Ham anyway, surely it's worth actually seeing what it's like there before doing so.

Yes, as long as that opinion stays with the boundaries of what is and what isn't permitted by your terms and conditions of membership.

On which, it's still there in black and white Nick. As are the opinions of everyone who disagrees with you.
