I’m not marching tomorrow…
The weather is looking bad
I want to stay in the pub
There won’t be many there
GSB will never sell up and go
I can’t be bothered
Well I beg you to rethink, this is OUR football club. We were sold a dream and given a nightmare. Those 3 in charge have taken us from our home promising a world class stadium and a world class team. They have delivered neither. There are 50 to 100 other things they have done wrong, I haven’t got the time to list them all but for example the ST waiting list, not taking full away ticket allocations, the memorial gardens, the club cash, the away fans in home stands (how many times have Hammers United had to bring up that issue with the club only to be told there isn’t a problem)
20,000 West Ham fans have walked away, quite a few of them will march tomorrow and then walk away from the ground – they refuse to go in while GSB are at the helm….I salute you good people.
At the static protest I felt like a West Ham fan, albeit for a short while, among like-minded Hammers who want more than GSB have given us. Yes I know we’re not going back to Upton Park but it wouldn’t take that much just little by little to make our match-day experience better. But they won’t, they don’t even want to talk to the independent supporter groups, they want to stick with their beloved OSB, you know, the unelected, undemocratic OSB who really doesn’t seem to have much of a say…remember when ST prices went up and the due date brought forward? The OSB was by-passed on that beauty. Of course the OSB did manage to get the ladies sanitary items sorted out…oh actually they didn’t, they just took the credit for it.
There are 91 teams in the English Leagues and 89 of them talk to their isa’s, only WHUFC and Hull City don’t, not surprising really, as most of you will know Hull’s owners are pretty awful too.
So now, almost a year after Hammers United were formed and after countless efforts by HU to get the club to talk it now seems the club want to have an independent supporters group…why now? And more importantly, why do you not understand that a huge amount of our fanbase do not trust you, so appointing an independent body to progress this isn’t what you the club should be doing and I doubt very much if our current isa’s will stand for it.
You’re too late GSB, you’ve had ten years and you’ve failed…you didn’t need to promise champions league, world class this or world class that. West Ham fans are quite easily pleased actually, give us good hardworking players, a cup run, half decent football, that is all we ask. But no, you don’t get West Ham, you don’t understand the fans and you have used our loyalty to make yourselves richer.
For me and I suspect many West Ham fans, enough is enough, we don’t want to talk anymore…we want you gone. GSBOUT
And that my fellow West Ham United FC fans is why tomorrow I’ll be marching, wet or dry, windy or calm, I’ll be shoulder to shoulder with West Ham United FC fans who like me want change.
The committee and friends of HU have worked so hard to get here, many of you will have no idea just how hard it is, meetings, talking to the police, LLDC etc etc. Support them tomorrow and lets get our club back.
Please don’t be apathetic, we need you there…Please.
Stay classy
