The heart of their community.

A multicultural, multiethnic community. Which becomes almost exclusively white male as soon as you enter the old Boleyn. Or at least that’s how it seemed to me when last I went. I dislike West Ham. I dislike their nasty thug fans almost as much as their celebrity media darling late adopter fans. I dislike their owners. Grubby little club. They won the World Cup you know...
