The club owners will sort it out as soon as there is no gate money

As much as I despise the West Ham ownership, crowd trouble aside, you can't really blame them for this clusterfuck.
They got offered a deal so tempting that it got them harder quicker than any of their stock in trade ever could, it was just shoved at them in desperation.
An old pox ridden tramp is sitting in a shop doorway in a puddle of his own filth one night and a mugger, who has just beaten an elderly man senseless and stolen his wallet, shoves a fifty pound note from the wallet at the filthy old bastard in passing, can you blame the tramp for accepted the money?

No, the parasites of the political and sporting establishment are to blame.

Are the hooligans of the 80's and 90's not reliving their halcyon days with the ground and capacity change.

Zambo will tell you; Gold, Sullivan and Pimple chops from day 1 at Blues were trying to get a deal with Birmingham Council and even Deadly Doug for a ground share when the new national stadium was a debate, everything they did was about flogging the current stadium (St Andrews) to move to a council ran stadium, BCC told them to fuck off, they sold up as soon as they could (with absolutley no regard of the person they sold it to), and bought into West Ham.

I predict as soon as the Boleyn ground is sold to developers that will be it.

I don't dislike West Ham, but these owners will fuck you up, they already are.

Remember Karren Brady and her 'players are like tins of beans' comment? They closed down the youth academy on the basis that you could just go to the 'shop' and buy new players when you needed them.

It used to be rough as fuck when I was a teenager and there was plenty of violence on away visits.

Fulham was also a working class area and a lot came from there.

Blues4Ever and I think Sammy (No Longer Dead) are from south-east London, and I think Lash and ChelseaChelsea might be from south of the river.

I was born near Chrlton's ground, and went to the Valley and Upton Park to watch matches before I had even been to Selhurst.[/quote]

Reg talks a lot of sense, I started going to Chelsea in the early 70's but regularly from 76 onwards. At the time I lived in Windsor, and a lot of the support I knew were from Windsor, Staines, Feltham, Hammersmith and Hounslow. But the majority seem to come from Kingston and other areas of Surrey.
As I started work I moved to West London, Twickenham. Hounslow and then Brentford, always a lot of Chelsea fans from these areas, but again predominately Kingston and Surrey, it was probably just the transport connections that made this so obvious.

Even though Chelsea and a lesser degree Fulham are so called "posh" areas, there are some real shitbag estates, like the World's End estate near the King's Road, a sure a lot of the nutters/headbangers from the 70's/80's, wouldhave come from this estate.
