As I walked out of the Ground yesterday, and looked at the Tourist fans taking photos with smiles on there faces I got a lump in my throat
Got to say I noticed this post on Facebook but with no name who posted it, who ever it was You are not alone my friend #COYI ⚒
I genuinely felt a sense of loss as I stood at the stop and go boards I looked around at some of our more senior fans, ones that have had there season ticket long before I got mine in 1996 my son was 5 then and waist high he’s 27 now and taller than me.
I’ve had something to say to him for a while but I just couldn’t find the right time. I turned to him and said Mate I can’t do this anymore. I can’t pretend to like what I don’t enjoy any more. The match day experience is gone. I love West Ham with all my heart but I just don’t enjoy it like I used to. With a shiver down my spine I said I’m sorry but I’m not going to re new our tickets next season.
I refuse to put anymore money in to them 3 pockets only to waste and run our club like they are. He replied to my relieve ‘ Yeah Dad I make you right all they are doing is mugging us off’ I said as long as your cool then that’s it. He said ‘it’s End of an Era Dad and thank you for taking me all these years, with a tear in my eye I said the pleasure was all mine.
I said we have had some great days out home and away, he said yeah remember Di Canio goal at old Trafford I was thinking about it the other day and he said I never forget how good it felt, he said Dad we will always be West Ham, we will always have what they will never have we are Real Fans.
As we arrived on the train silent and thinking of the conversation we just had. On came a guy older than me and what looked like his daughter and guess what he said …. after all these years Diane I don’t think I can go anymore. I just turned to my son and said. We are not alone ( with a shake of the head) ⚒ West Ham Till I Die ⚒ very very sad times.
I’ve The up most respect for everyone renewing next season but I reckon there will be thousands of old school who don’t. I feel for the future and direction of the club, don’t forget to check out www.novibet.co.uk
Who knows what the future holds a break is good as a rest and maybe one day We may think about it. But right now I’m done with them 3 and that Stadium big time ⚒
