I have to ask, in case it’s only me - but I haven’t been this excited for an upcoming season in years. Is that the case for others?

The Championship is a gruelling league, by February, March time, it is really brutal.

I personally don’t care whether it’s Lincoln City or Manchester City, I would be there regardless. I think only the armchairs care on that front.

The Championship has plenty to offer. No VAR (which cost us last year), proper fans - no one supports some of the teams in that division for glory, more accessible away games, I certainly intend to hit most in not all the London and just outside London away games.



Someone posted about true fans getting behind the team - I agree. What else are you going to do? Like I said I don’t care who turns up on the Saturday, it’s who I go with, the pre match ritual, the banter, the football is almost a secondary. Get behind the team, I am absolutely buzzing for this year.

Irongeez, I feel the same. Being one of the favourites for the title means we should be winning more games than losing, and that's all a supporter wants to see: their team win, it doesn't matter who they're playing.

I have to say I am, and I was unsure if I would renew. But, once the writing seemed like it was on the wall for Sullivan, I decided to do so, although I probably still would have renewed. I won't be going to all the home games. I will probably give the midweek games a miss, but people around me can take my seat.


You are spot on regarding VAR, but I hope we get straight back up.
I'm nowhere near as hard-core as many fans, but if you go to every single game or never go at all, your opinion as a West Ham fan is equally valid.

I live in Cheshire, so unfortunately can't afford the season ticket and everything that goes with it, trains etc., but I'm hoping to go to some away games. Stoke is just down the road, and I'm hoping to get my season ticket in a couple of years if I can take early retirement.

Always try and take a positive slant on things, it's supposed to be fun after all, and much easier on your mental health. ?

Good on you, Dabber, but that is gonna be a difficult trip, as it can take hours to get in from Essex by car or train, let alone from Cheshire. What about trying to get tickets to some of the away games up in your manor? I'm always in admiration of our away supporters.

You can always hear them loud and clear, no matter what the stadium.

Yeah, I'm totally in agreement. I too was unsure about renewing, but still made the decision to do so. Then the news of Sullivan, the troll, dropped, and I was all in. Being from North Yorkshire, getting to every game with my shift pattern is impossible, but I will 100% be going to as many as I can.

Only had the pleasure of watching West Ham away at Boro and Leeds coz they're 35 and 55 miles from me, but I am defo gonna try n get some away games in this time round, work permitting. ⚒️⚒️⚒️
