Match day Tix

[speedy808]

I'm interested in seeing the Hammers (and Hammerettes) in person someday. Is it difficult to get tickets on match day? Have the crowds diminished any since relegation? Have prices gone down? What's the best way to get a few tickets for a single game (Ticketmaster doesn't allow foreign online purchases)? I need to get all my info in order before I travel halfway around the world to see your beloved squad. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think tix go on sale a month or two before the match. My friend would keep track of the schedule and call them on the day tix went on sale. He talked directly with a person, bought the tix over the phone and had them a couple weeks later.

Keep us posted on your travels. Looks like you may be the only one here visiting UP this season.

Yep, come back with a nice report. My buddy who used to work there, left the team during the summer - so my normal window is gone.

She left, and wasn't replaced. Laid off - a few weeks later they laid off her boss. Times are tough at WHU, even off the field.

But not so tough for Mr. Brown.

With the club sliding rapidly down the table, allow the new manager, Alan Pardew, to spend £600,000 on Mullins, £500,000 on Harewood and get Brian Deane on a freebie. Also allow him to sign Stockdale and retain Quinn on loan (both very cheap options).

Now, with the transfer window upon us (and you'll remember, Brown admitted in May the transfer window had taken him by surprise last year so we KNOW he'll be ready this time), you allow your manager to, er, do nothing.

Not one single permanent signing will be sanctioned unless sales are first made.

Oh no, while our chairman continues to pay himself 250k plus bonuses, we continue to wait for Premiership clubs to make transactions of their own in the hope that will allow us to borrow one of their periferal stars....on loan.

So while the likes of West Brom, Norwich, Walsall, Millwall, Preston, Wigan and even cash-strapped Ipswich and Forest are buying players, West Ham continue to reserve all their cash for the pockets of Brown, Aldridge, Igoe, Warner et al.

Because, let's not forget, we might have seen 17 players shorn from our squad in the summer (raising £22million in transfer revenue and saving a further £12million off the wage bill); and we might still retain one of the most highly paid boards in English football; and we might still boast by far the biggest crowd paying by far the highest prices in the First Division; and we might have spent less than £1.5million on new players.........but it's all Frederic Kanoute's fault for missing that penalty.

Black armbands anyone?

doom and gloom.

that's how I feel
