I thought this was one of the poorest ;wave to the Boleyn videos I've seen - the fan produced ones have been a lot better - given this was by a national newspaper who have access to much more footage that the average fan.

The stall holders on Green Street set up because the club was already there and they knew how many thousands they could sell their sweets and burgers to on a match day. Do they not go to other grounds or places where large group of people gather when West Ham are not playing at Upton Park? Do they only sell their sweets and burgers in Green Street 19 times a year? [number of league home games]. I feel for them but I'm not sure the club have an obligation to them.

suz, my thoughts exactly ;ok

I thought it was quite poor too.

I also thought the focus on hooliganism was a bit ;hmm

I liked the nuns ;biggrin

I have just seen on SSN that from Monday they will be doing their thing on our farewell to our ground..
Haven't got specific time for you but I'm sure if you have SSN you can check ..
I cannot write about my own feelings and memories of Upton Park... It's too sad....

grey_til_I_dye

Can't see anything for Monday. There is a program 'The Boleyn Boys' on SS1 at 6.00pm UK on Tuesday, before the football

jay_in_cpt

Grey ;ok
I think... They said they will be live from Monday at the ground..
But I could be wrong! ;ok

I actually quite enjoyed this. I take the points made about the stall holders but I feel sorry for the owners of Nathan's & all of the other small businesses that will suffer when we leave.As for the hooligan stuff, I agree they shouldn't have focussed on it so much but Bill G's story about breaking his wrist deliberately so he good get time off work & go to Tiblisi amused me.
Anyway,is anyone else out there feeling as sad as I am now that the impending departure is almost here?

TwistandShout

Madrid ;ok I enjoyed it too, thought it was well done ;ok
