Like most London Clubs, the main claim to fame seems to be that it's not far from nice things.

The season before last was the first time West Ham recorded a positive goal difference in a top-flight season since 1985/86.
West Ham United are one of only eight clubs in existence never to have fallen below the second tier of English football.
West Ham United are the last team to have won the FA Cup from outside the top division. They beat Arsenal in the final in 1980.
West Ham United are also the last side to win the FA Cup with an all-English side. They beat Fulham 2-0 in the 1975 final.
The club was originally formed in 1895 as Thames Ironworks, but after disbanding in June 1900 they were almost immediately reformed as West Ham United in July 1900.
Hammersmith had the largest power station in Britain at Sands End.
Scottish poet James Thomson is thought to have written the words for " Rule Britannia " in the Dove pub situated on Hammersmith's historic Thames riverside. The Dove claims to have the smallest bar in Britain.
The Cart and Horse in Newham is the birthplace of Iron Maiden.
Until the advent of the docks in the 1850's, the predominant industry in the area was farming.

 

Their main claim to fame is that their visit for the FA Cup tie in 1973 was the last time we had a crowd of over 30,000 for a home match. In fact the last time for any sporting event in Hull and likely to remain so.

 

Hull City’s players and staff will take undertake Covid-19 testing prior to Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup tie at West Ham, according to reports.

Coronavirus testing is no longer mandatory in the EFL which has led to cause for concern among Premier League clubs, with clubs below the top flight only testing at their own discretion - Championship clubs, however, are screened after international breaks, but for clubs like the Tigers in League One and below, there is no enforced testing programme.

According to the Daily Mail, the Hammers along with Liverpool and Tottenham have opted to pay for their opponents’ players to be tested.

With each test costing around £150, the total outlay from the Hammers could be anywhere between £5,000 and £15,000.

Yes, I think it's the District Line, the number 9 bus or along the A40/A4.

 

Cockney ****s taking our cast offs.

City 3 Snotty gravy lovers nowt,

 

That reminds me - is Snodgrass still with 'em ?

 

I didn't realise it wasn't mandatory to test them.
Bit surprised by that.
Doesn't that mean that if one gets it then both teams might have to isolate due to track and trace with them being in close contact with each other?

 

Well, I guess this is the proverbial free hit but would be nice to get one over on the Hammers.

Though Sullivan went up in my admiration, when asked which was the worse Chairman in the EPL to be in the company of on match days, he answered Assem Allam.

 

They don't have scrums in rugby any more - presumably a temp. change, but they seem to take the same amount of grappling time in tackles in both codes. Maybe no tackles in football, 2 touches on the ball before release. Goalie to sanitize his gloves after touching the ball every time. The world may yet go crazy ?

 

Well Warnock has Covid and there is a higher infection rate in Middlesbrough but their game went ahead.

 

Reckon he'll play Long myself.

 

Never been know for being smart in Teesside - except for Cloughy of course. And Raich Carter - almost forgot.

 

West Ham under far. moire pressure than us and a progression in this would be a distraction they may not need... Already, you can see where the strugglers are going to come from in the Prem and Saturdays game for them may be deemed to be more important...

 

didnt boothferry park host a rugby league international between gb and australia with a crowd of 36k in the 80's?
