Andymc1 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Away friendly pubs? Never done West Ham. Done Spurs and Arsenal but first time to East London. Just a heads up for you and others travelling to this game... Be on your guard as it's going to get naughty by all accounts with a few of the old guard hooligans preparing to sort out their differences after the attack on our fans in the pre-season tournament in Germany... Can't say too much but heard it on good authority things are in motion... Would avoid wearing your colours for this game... Stay safe This 100%.

Sammys_Tekkers Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 If they have a few players back from injury I think they will do us quite comfortably, reckon we'll get a point if they play a similar team to the one they played at Everton though.

TRon Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Wouldn't bet any money on this. Difficult to say how it'll end. One thing that's not difficult to predict is that it will be a cagey defensive game with neither side opening up much. We'll put 8 men back and look for a goal on the break, West Ham will put 8 men back and look to get a goal from a set piece. Pardew and Allardyce two of the most defensive managers in the game duking it out to see who can serve up the ugliest football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay safe Been down there a few times and there's never been any bother, but given the above it's defo worth being on your toes... Normally drink in The Queens which is on Green Street. Turn right out of Upton Park tube, 2mins walk on your right hand side, and it's normally got plenty of away fans in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard of Byker Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I'd prefer to drink further down the Hammersmith and City line, then jump on the tube half an hour or so before kick off. There's a decent boozer at Aldgate East (Indo), a few in Mile End (The Coborn Arms, and, further off the beaten track, The Palm Tree), and one in Bow (The Bow Bells; never liked The Little Driver). Never been in any on a match day, though. Think we'll win this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Definitely shite going down this weekend. Know a few who were caught up in it in Germany. Always had grief in the pubs near the ground so would definitely watch out this weekend. On the pitch, reckon it should be a reasonable game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Get the fast train from KX to Stratford. Plenty boozers there. Then few stops on the DLR to west ham then one or two stops to Upton Park. Or a tenner in a taxi from Stratford to the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I've heard similar about things being 'set in motion' for the weekend, from someone who was in Germany pre season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The three times I've been to West Ham I've always drank near the ground. This Saturday I will definitely not be drinking anywhere within a couple of mile. Any official information of being kept in at FT for a bit? Can imagine lots of 14/15/16 year old West Ham fans to jump on the 'gonna be hell on' bandwagon after the match aswell whilst behind a line of police which will only keep us locked in until the majority are cleared off. Hope no one is booked on the 18:00 train if we do end up kept in! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Last time I went was when we won 2-1 (Nolan, Carroll) I drove down parked for free at the Lakeside shopping centre got the C2C train from there (Chafford Hundred £4 return) to Barking. we walked down the Barking Road which leads to the ground. Heard a hell of a noise of chanting by the Barking town hall which put us on our guard. We needn't of worried as it was our lot who had completely taken over the 'Millers Well' Weatherspoons pub on the Barking road. It looks as though that may be a good one to aim for if anyone is on the way to the ground from that direction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
henke Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Are Nolan and Carroll both fit for them? I haven't seen much footie recently. I can see our winning run ending Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 and one in Bow (The Bow Bells; never liked The Little Driver) I live in Bow - Bow Bells isn't bad, The Little Driver's pretty shite. Just gonna drink in the pub in my flat complex I think, before I go out and cause loads of bother. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
