They should have got themselves a big old bit of land out in Barking Riverside that could have housed a great new stadium next to a new station but as we know there was desperation to find a use for after the Olympics. The fans were told the new ground would put them in the top 6 of the championship every season.4 -
Agreed. Don't forget the Tevez debacle where West Ham escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth. Long time coming but it will.PragueAddick said:
Dont feel too sorry for them. The vast majority of them wanted that deal. Well in so far as they understood anything about it. They didnt even have a proper Supporters Trust, and the few who did speak up against it were hounded by Brady. I mean really, some quite sinister undertones in play. I remember the second day of the Information Tribunal ( after which we got the full contract released) there were a couple of meatheads sitting at the back of the seats reserved for the public. They didnt try anything to be fair but they definitely weren’t there to assist their post-graduate law degree studies.Leeds_Addick said:
I think that's up for debate. In the 16 years she's been there they've won the championship play off, the conference league and had an average league position of 13th.IdleHans said:Cant stand the sour-faced cow. She's done well for WHU but was instrumental in royally fucking over the taxpayer.
In the 16 years prior to that they won the championship play off, the intertoto cup, were FA cup runners up and had an average league position of 13th.
The main difference is that now they have the worst stadium in the football league. They're the supporters I feel sorry for the most to be honest.
Sod them. I’d rather they went down than Spurs, but it doesnt look likely now.4 -
They’ve been relegated and promoted again since then.man_at_milletts said:

It has been a long time coming but I'd rather see Spurs go down as they are\were one of the Sky Super Six originals that helped football to develop into the to wonderful greedy industry we have today. Spurs are always, according to their fans, title contenders. Many of them were saying only a matter of week back, they could be relegated and win the champions league, they are without doubt even more delusional than Arsenal fans.man_at_milletts said:

Its their year to go down, out of their hands and relying on West Ham to screw up, which may happen. West Ham may well struggle again next season so we may get another treat. And to be honest their fans are not as nearly loathsome as Spurs. They have no ground to call their own and the vast majority hate the one they rent. I watched a podcast on YouTube the guy on there was in no doubt, they and the tax payer have been sold a pup with no real way out other than more expense.
One way or another this season has been gold watching those two cock up on a weekly basis.4 -
Of course judging other fanbases in total is foolhardy, and I used to have the same negative opinion of Spurs fans pretty much all my life. But thanks to the campaign about the Stadium I met Martin and Kat from their Trust, absolutely top people who drove that campaign, and we have our Spurs Lifer, JohnBoy, who seems like the exact opposite of how most people see Spurs fans. By contrast, I dont recall a visiting Hammer on here, and they never bothered to form a Supporters Trust, unlike every other club in London.But I’d rather either of them go down than Forest. It’s important that one of the big clubs falls out of that circus sometimes6
