I was at the first tie in the 1986 FA Cup against Man Utd where it ended in a 1.1 draw. West Ham won 2 nil at Old Trafford in the replay.

I lived in Clerkenwell then and got on the tube at the Barbican to go to the games. We stood behind one of the goals with the main stand on our right.

You are a celebrity!

Now if the tunnel side (West Side) was on your right, you were in the North Bank, however if the East Side (Chicken Run) was on your right, you were in the South Bank. The South Bank was the home of all the skinheads, and a pretty racist atmosphere in there!!

Odd thread this. I too have a soft spot for the Hammers (family are ST holders down there) - thought I was the only one given claret is almost the colour of sin.

Always felt we were very similar in that the big boys would come and cherry pick our great young talent coming through the youth system before they hit their peak - West Ham produced some great players at the tail end of the 90’s and who knows what they could have achieved had they been able to build on them but like us they’re left wondering.

Followed the Hammers home and away during the Billy Bonds era, fans were fantastic with constant singing. Used to go South Bank at home. Mental in there by the segregation fence and remember opposition players being wary of not getting too close to the Chicken Run. Some of my best days watching fitba, besides Hibs obviously

No way is claret close to the bloodied turd mixture that is maroon.

Always felt West Ham are similar to Hibs in that they have been on the verge of greatness but are never able to get over the line. Great moments in the cups but not able to sustain a league campaign.

ST at ER and Stratford Athletics Field.

Me too. Some good times at the old Upton Park when I lived in London. I always thought our supports were similar in passion and fatalism. Must be an east end thing. COYI!
