From home to Upton Park is about 11 miles......and as an existing season ticket holder, and one of 18 years.....think I can safely say that I follow them !

So you ain't from close to Upton Park. How many smaller clubs are closer than 11 miles! You Glory hunter!!

as for me my father supported Man united and went to the 68 final. His father and all his brothers supported United. Was never any question of supporting anyone else even though Liverpool dominated football during my formative years!

My father also supports United......and it shames me to say that I was born in Sale, but thankfully moved South when I was 4 and became a "Suvvvennnorr"

I feel sorry, support-catchment-area-wise, for Leyton Orient - if you draw a triangle connecting Arsenal's, Tottenham's and West Ham's grounds, Orient are inside it........

....... and as a Bedfordshire boy who actually DOES support Luton Town, who are in danger of disappearing any day now, I'm all too aware of what the 'big' clubs have that the small ones don't.

Look out - the irrational hatred of Luton by West Ham fans.

Plastic pitch? It was legal, it was a bold experiment - and it didn't work - and remember, they eventually tore it up voluntarily - BEFORE those pitches were banned.

Mick Harford? A legend who should have played for England - but didn't...

Steve Foster? An end leg who shouldn't have played for England - but did....

Nobody "deserves" to go under......... and certainly not when recommended by the fan of a team who included Billy Bonds and Frank Lampard (senior) in their ranks........... Lampard's IQ never knowingly rose above room temperature, to my certain knowledge.

Can't you be a man/trani-we don't care-and judge the best answer to your Q
