Hammers 09:07 - May 22 with 3731 views | unbelievablue | Reckon they'll be all over town, home areas in the ground, in hospitality etc.? Got form for it, bank holiday weekend, last game of the season, and haven't had a league game here for ages (and won't again for at least a season). Might be quite annoying. |  |

Hammers on 15:08 - May 22 by blueoutlook | Over the very long years of watching Town, West Ham have always had fans seated in all areas of Portman Road. They are easily the worst club for it. But it seeems to happen everytime we play them down here . Trouble is,most of them live round here. I’ve worked with loads of them over the years. Way more common than any other teams round these parts. |
Colchester and North Essex is full of 'em. Just a short hop up the A12 for them. |  |

Hammers on 16:08 - May 22 by Joey_Joe_Joe_Junior | Do fans away fans go for a drink in town these days? Chelsea chaps had packed out the Lord Nelson just before NYE when I had walked down for a beer from the Salthouse but most away fans don't seem to bother going past the station hotel do they, which incidentally all clubs seems to rave about! I find that quite funny. I am sure the Essex WHU contingent will be having a beer on Sunday but can't imagine it will be a nightmare in this day and age! |
Brentford were all in Isaacs but I think they might have all travelled in yacht's. I think The Station puts on a bit of a show with an outside bar and music and stuff. |  |

Hey Funky. My mums side are all Chelmsford. I spent my very very early infant years in Chelmsford and went there for most of my school holidays until about 15 until I realised my cousin Stuart was an odd bod. Forest Drive rules! [Post edited 22 May 20:54]

You’ll be glad your not surrounded by Spammers, Gooners and Spurs fans, from being everyone’s favourite second team, suddenly we’re an easy target, I’m looking forward to the second tier, I’ve run out of ammunition. |  | |  |

I have to confess........... All our Chelmsford lot are West Ham. My grandad was West Ham and my dad was Fulham so as a kid it was a toss up between either of them or QPR as QPR were my closest "Big" team. ......But grandad took me to the games so I was a West Ham fan. I moved to Suffolk at about 11 and I was just about young enough to switch teams to Ipswich. To be honest my grandad also started going to Ipswich as well because West Ham games in the 70's were a proper war zone. You're old school Funky, do you think you could adequately describe West Ham, Man U, Spurs etc to one of the younger TW4TD elite? It really is like a different planet isn't it. |  |

I’m not sure I could describe them in terms younger fans would understand, as they haven’t experienced battles in the North Stand (West Ham, Spurs, Man U, Liverpool), being chased around assorted away grounds after police escorts from the station to the ground (Leeds, Stoke, Birmingham, Derby, WBA) and the general atmosphere around football back in the day. Those are just the most extreme examples I can recall as someone who never went looking for trouble. |  | |  |
