Apparent possible protest tomorrow👎just hope we don't see any mindless fans or thugs embarrass the club or it's decent fan base by staging any crowd or game disturbance inside or outside the ground tomorrow! We are taking our 7 year old Grandson tomorrow for the first time as will lots of other people! Kids will be very frightened and think this is normal at a game, if it does happen I for one will never attend again, not that it will affect the club! It will be the usual foul abuse for everyone to hear and possible outbreaks of vandalism or violence? We may struggle at times but not through lack of investment in players and we still have Premiership status to enjoy! As another poster said, they are Millionaires not Billionaires! ⚒⚒⚒⚒.

I agree Chelms. People are entitled to their opinions, and to make their voices heard, however, I am one who has a different opinion based on different logic. I also completely disagree with their timing. We are in a bad league position ATM with TOUGH games coming up, now is not the time to be stirring up unrest and negativity. Emotions and atmospheres are contagious, and all it will do is spread to the players on the pitch, and so the spiral begins until we get Burnley 2.0. Poor old Moyes had it last time, and now some fans want to start it again, give him a chance! (i know the protests are not about him, but it impacts his job massively) . Imagine what we could do with a positive mind set.
Ironically, these fans ultimately want the board to get better players, meanwhile the unrest they eventually fire up only makes us LESS attractive to these players. The only thing (in today's game) that would be capable of making them happy is a Billionaire owner, who ironically would subsequently rip the sole out of our club even further, and they would then complain about that also. Long-term maybe they can never be pleased.
I was devastated to leave Upton Park, but its like driving/ owning a sentimental 1959 Mini, its not suitable for modern ELITE football and we needed an upgrade. Yes, look what Spurs got, but they HAVE money and that all started when they sold Bale. GET OVER the stadium move, GET OVER the 10 promises, and GET BEHIND the team. We have a board that are trying, and investing responsibly/ sustainably (they are not billionaires), they make mistakes (as do we all) . Their promises for after the stadium move were maybe based on the financial gain it could deliver, but since then TV money has dwarfed this gain, making gate receipts less important in terms of competitive edge vs other clubs.

As I said earlier, if any of these fans can do a better job then buy it up and invest, should be easy enough to turn us into champions!
We have made bad signings and so has every other premier league team.
It will be a sad day if there are protests, all of them get together instead and see how much they can come up with and make an offer!
COYI.

Sorry guys got to disagree, the only thing we can do as fans is protest or stay away altogether. I know this is not the greatest option, ( season tickets etc) but enough is enough. People are tierd of and I won't call them lies like others have, let's call it misinformation. They would be much better served if they kept themselves to themselves and just got on with business. They say they are fans of the club (which I have no doubt they are) so surly they can see how much they hurt the club. Why don't they agree to talk to the heads of these groups and calm the situation down. I'm sorry if this upsets people but something has to be done and if it's done right ( I hope) then I'm all behind it. sorry!

CTown, sorry to be so blunt but can’t say it any other way, Keep Away then or try supporting another team that has no “problems” That’s the best way of showing your disapproval! Most decent sensible fans know the ups and downs of your club. Why should the militant loud mouths ram their opinion and disapproval and disrupt decent families with kids when it has cost them £100’s of pounds! Why should the board tolerate that lot after all the investment they have made, the militant ones are the minority anyway, thank goodness! Can’t think of any things in life that if you get disgruntled about that you would go back for of, common sense surely?

Wow, I'm far from militant just had enough of the owners making us the joke of the league. As for us being a minority, I don't know any fan of ' our' club that doesn't feel lied to or short changed. You of course are entitled to your opinion I won't however tell you to stay away or say your not a real fan. This is what I believe these sites are for to air our views weather we agree or not.

What are they doing wrong?
They’ve made some bad decisions, every other club does exactly the same!
Stadium move? Had to be done as Upton Park was no longer suitable, I’ll predict that the LLDC will end up handing over the stadium as it continues to lose money, this is when the guts can be removed and made into a proper football stadium, this is what my long term plan would be!
Other than these what has been done? Were we any good as a team throughout the 90’s, 00’s, I think most fans got excited when we finished 7th or 8th with Bilic, one good season of football but achieved nothing trophy wise. Is this successful?
For all the fans who aren’t happy then just boycott the games and don’t show up, you won’t be missed guys!
Win or lose and more often or not it’s lose but the true fans turn up and support through thick and thin and don’t run on the pitch like tools ruining it for kids.

Who said anything about running on the pitch, I'm just saying we need to have a voice. How does this not make me a 'true fan'because I don't agree with how the club is run. In 10 years the club has not moved forward at all. I had no problem with moving to Stratford but the whole thing was shambolic and could have been done so much better and less of a PR nightmare. I get you think differently but please don't think I don't want the best for the club I do just had enough of the nonsense!

Ctown SULLY isn't a billionaire on paper with assets from being a fool do I agree with some of the ridiculous statements he comes out with no but he's too thick skinned and ignorant to worry about a few hundred fans venting their anger and upsetting kids and normal punters by slinging a few obscene insults which isn't even registering they've been round the block more times than a lady of the night from Kings x, I don't like the way they go about their business in the transfer market and it doesn't help when we've got a attention seeking son who makes our targets public on social media as for the 2D'S I think they have spent more than in previous windows that's down in black and white but here's my belief I think they are trying to make money from WEST HAM and giving as little back as possible who can blame them but until we get and investor like TABOR or a middle eastern multi billionaire that wants to get the 2 D'S as far away from our beloved team as possible then I'm afraid we are going to still be talking about the same thing until old father time says come in the 2 D''S your time is up and I'm not going to be here to witness what the finest supporters I truly believe we are right up there with the best would love to see but the away support will get thinner and thinner why they still are the major shareholders of WEST HAM UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB. COYI.
