West Ham fans: "Time to support another team"

[jevs]

I think we would have had 22,000 if yesterday's game had been played at a completed Falmer

That's possible...as well as Leeds at home. But when you're playing Rotherham on a wet, freezing cold Tuesday pm.....could you fill a 22 k stadium then. You'd struggle to get 5 k at Withdean.

We'd get wet at Withdean. Falmer will have a roof. it makes a big difference.

Sorry to state the obvious but there are 6000 dedicated fans who are prepared to get wet to watch Brighton play Rotherham.
Then you get other fans who have nothing else to do on a Tuesday night and will go with their mates.

I can't agree more with Romford and Jevs.
Yout a mug if you beleive that thread...

That's terrrible. Bleedin London glory hunters just jump ship to another London Club when the going gets tough.

Nah.
Sounds like something a very cheesed off Easy 10 might write - I thought it rather funny and better than aimlessly slagging off all and sundry.

I've been at the Goldstone on many a cold, wet tuesday or wednesday night when you were in the current league (championship, div 1, div 2 etc) and i've seen crowds of 6 k against teams like Watford and Crewe etc.

I do believe you had 3 covered areas (called roofs) then. It was only the old east terrace that never had the cover...and that's where the away fans went

How do i know....i was a season ticket holder out there.

They have got enough choices.... And stadiums!!!!

SUSSEX WANTS FALMER :falmerspi

So would you still get a full stadium against Rotherham, on a wet, freezing cold Tuesday pm? You may well do and I could be making an a$$ of myself but still! Every club has it's fair-weather fans we all know that.

We should know well enough by now that an odd post like that hardly represents a club's supporters. Shame it's been given so much attention.

Who said what ??

have to laugh

Oh sit down and shut up mate. I remember you lot getting promotion to the top flight on gates of 11,000. In fact, the similarity with plastic Chelsea were quite striking.

We've all had crap gates at one time or other. Around that time, we went to Newcastle and drew 0-0. Attendance, 10,400. Massive. But apparently Geordies love their football? Chelsea, £50 a pop now and selling out each game. But where were they when they were PROMOTED to the Premiership in 1992. They were getting 7-8k, and 7,200 turned up for a Premiership match at the bridge against Southampton.

And one thing I'm getting tired of hearing from West Ham fans is how their supporters are second to none. My f***ing arse you are. You're not bad, but, seriously, you want to go looking for the opinions of fans of other clubs to get a true gauge of that.

Was referring to original "let's go support another team" post.

I'm still surprised that these teams think it's disgraceful losing to Brighton. It was only 13 years ago that Byrne scored & we beat the Hammers 1-0 at the Goldstone. The same season we beat Leicster & played teams like Middlesborough, and lost in the Play-Off final (one game from top flight).

We are in the divison where this club belongs - we've just had a bad decade. The Hammers are a Premiership/Div 1 Club, so it should be no surprise that they lose to us

So how come you're now a West Ham fan?
