Stadium Info
Boleyn Ground has been home to West Ham since 1904. It's undergone many face lifts in that time including August 1944, when a V-1 flying bomb landed on the south-west corner of the pitch destroying part of the stadium. This forced the team to play their games away from home while repairs were carried out. There are no bad seats in the stadium but the view from the East Stand is possibly best as you sit looking at three relatively new and impressive stands through the action. The more vociferous home fans tend to sit in the Bobby Moore lower though the home fans next to the visiting supporters in the Trevor Brooking, tend to get very noisy especially on derby days, i.e. Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea.
