The supporters club is now a gym?.
The last time I was there was for the last ever game at Upton Park against Utd. I haven't been back since as I prefer not to muddle my memories of the place. It should never have been sold and I still have yet to meet a fan who agreed to the poll in favour of the move, one of two that were put out, the other (genuine poll by the fans) were against the move.
I've been to the London Stadium four times now in various areas so that I could give an honest opinion based on being there as opposed to just being a stubborn old mule, one determined to dislike it purely because the move went ahead. It doesn't work. The move is wrong on so many fronts and no matter the future of the club and players on the pitch, I don't think the new generation of fans who have never experienced Upton Park will ever have the same "feelings" with the place.
Its been nine years now and it still doesn't sit right with me.
Absolutely not. That's great news. Is she living in Sydney? I'm still here on permanent residency. Don't seem to be able to get around to sorting the citizenship out.
........ In Cronulla. We now also have more family there. Our second eldest daughter and family moved there in June... God we miss them particularly the grandsons :o(
Yeah it's tough being away from family. I came back over in September for the 1st time in 12 years! Brother's 50th, mum's unwell, dad's getting worse. It's tough being so far away. Mys on saw his cousins for the 1st time since he was a toddler. They're the hardest things to miss
Its at those times when you realise they are really on the other side of the world, not a short flight away and wont to lump the first person that says "its a small world"....... It bloody well isnt!!
That was it,will never feel
That was it,will never feel the same,the generation coming through wont know it,but that is the way of life.
I understand

Agree with all the above, it
Agree with all the above, it just feels like ours by default. No identity, no memories, no soul.
Aptly named the bowl of misery, for more than just reasons on the pitch!
MMMMMM

What I'll never understand is
What I'll never understand is ,why wasn't there more of a stink kicked up against this move .it seemed to be a done deal before anyone had say .
That's the way those shysters
That's the way those shysters operate. All cloak and daggers and only about what's in it for them. Hope they burn in hell
LOL M2C
