I won't stand for this - The thread all about standing at the OS.

Does anyone know if you can get a Guinness or a proper brown beer inside the stadium? I went to the juve game, and had plastic bottled lager, and some draught Amstell. All very nice, but I'm going to the Watford game and would rather not drink euro plonk. ;stout

MrsGrey

Isn't ;stout Euro beer ;hmm

I wonder what will happen to the price of Guinness after Brexit. ;nonono




Oh no ;phew It's a UK company.

Hammerwombat

Mmm, yes, but it's old Europe, I like my Europe with a bit of diddly diddly init ;biggrin

MrsGrey

They sell West Ham bitter from a micro brewery. It's sold on the inner concourse by Block 146 and presumably at various intervals around the stadium. It's not bad but not the best. ;ok

Hammerwombat

Magic, cheers Herb. I will have a wander round that way.

I've forgotten where I sit it's been so long. ;doh

It's block 136 but there will be others. ;ok

Hammerwombat

Excellent, if you look closely you may spot a wombat and an expat supping. ;beer

Expat_Hammer

Seems there may be an echo in here ;puzzled

Hammerwombat

Echo?

Hammerwombat

Echo?

Expat_Hammer

Or was it Gekho ;hmm

Hammerwombat

Gordon? Where did I put my red braces, lunch is for wimps.



Ooh, I went all yuppy there for a minute.

grey_til_I_dye

Once spent 6 weeks in Liverpool.

When a paper seller shouted 'Echo' you were almost guaranteed to hear 'echo' 'echo' 'echo' from someone. Often, it was me.

MrsGrey

Ooh, I bet they laffed.

grey_til_I_dye

I know I did...

Yeah, scousers are all natural comedians or so they keep telling us.....

Any idea which micro-brewery is making Iron Ale and Boleyn Bitter as I've asked around the brewery folk and no one seems to know.

Hardly likely you'll be able to get Guinness as the Stadium signed a deal with Heineken, they own Murphy's stout (brewed in Tadcaster along with John Smith's and Newcastle Brown) so you might be able to get a pint of that.

Fans where ejected today, from the section next to the BML on the east side.

Stand up if you love West Ham started up but very few joined in and very few did.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

So sad, think that all started just after our second goal?

So North East corner lower fans were ejected I'm assuming because of complaints? Yet BML, STBL and away fans were allowed to stand with no problems?

Is it just me or is it just as simple as a ticket swap system ?

BertQuigley

also ejected in east stand ,corner with STB stand,punch ups in that area and my stand the STB upper,apparently a five year old was given a load of expletives after moaning that they couldn`t see followed by the dad taking his own retribution To be honest i couldn`t concentrate fully on the match due to the incidents in the seats,when their fourth went in upped and left.........today left a rather bad taste in my mouth,hope it improves.

SuzanneClaret

Slizzy

It looks to me like the stewards are targeting areas where some stand and some sit, leaving alone those areas (BML TBL ChavCorner) where everyone stands.

SuzanneClaret

Not nice to hear of punch ups between fans Bert.

SuzanneClaret

it also looks like fans are standing in areas where they didn't used to ;hmm

BertQuigley

Suz,totally agree about targeting areas.Also on the way out fans were surrounding police and almost begging them to get in there and sort it out,they called the stewards heavy handed muppets.A policewoman replied that they can monitor outside but the stadium owners haven`t requested the match day presence of the old bill inside,presumably due to the fact that it`s not taxpayer funded,jesus,just wait till the spuds and chelsea get here.

SuzanneClaret

Bert, the away end in my opinion is ill equipped to deal with Spurs or Chelsea, they struggled today with Watford.

BertQuigley

i sit 3 blocks from the away fans and they didn`t just struggle,they couldn`t cope.

Hamstew

Well I won't be taking my boy in fact I doubt I will attend any games until this is sorted out. That's assuming it can be. Starting to regret getting my membership.

MrsGrey

And so losing the next generation.

They need to sort it.

Keep ejecting the disruptive fans, and give their season tickets to someone on the waiting list ;ok
