So what IS West Sham's ground called?

[CHAPPERS]

Is it Upton Park as most call it or the 'Balloon' or whatever they call it?

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

The Boleyn? Yeah, that was confusing me as well...

 

[Biscuit]

It is the Boyleen ground I think. But everyone calls it Upton park.

As far as I'm aware, the ground is called the Boleyn Ground, Upton Park is just the area that the ground is in. I could be wrong though.

 

[The Large One]

The Boleyn Ground. Always has been. Just so happens to be located in Upton Park.

It is the Boyleen ground I think. But everyone calls it Upton park.

It definitely ain't the Boyleen anyway!

 

[Marc]

[Bigtomfu]

What happened to East Ham?

Barking and East Ham United,
Ryman League Division One North

Ground Name: Mayesbrook Park, Lodge Avenue, Dagenham

Also shared with:

East Ham United
Essex Senior League




Incidentally, did you know that Leyton FC is the oldest football club in London? They were established in 1868. They are in the Ryman Premier Division, which is just TWO divisions below Leyton Orient?

All fascinating stuff.

Why do people call it Upton Park if it's really the Boleyn Ground?

When Lennox Lewis was trying to prove how British he was he said how much he loved going to see the 'West Ham Hammers' at the 'Upton Stadium'


(I don't know if that was before he developed his special friendship with Sol Campbell)
