10/09/2011 West Ham United Versus Portsmouth: Pictures Of Boleyn Ground And Surroundings

A West Ham merchandise stall on Green Street, leading from Upton Park tube station down to the ground. There were a number of these dotted around, including a man selling pin badges and a lady selling old matchday programmes. All the stalls added some colour, it's an area that's pretty vibrant on matchdays. The stalls reminded me of trips a few years ago to Arsenal's Highbury Stadium.

The Bobby Moore memorial plaque by the Main Entrance to the stadium, in the West Stand.

The Ron Greenwood memorial plaque by the Main Entrance to the stadium, in the West Stand.

The John Lyall memorial plaque by the Main Entrance to the stadium, in the West Stand.

View 1/2 of the West Stand - note the two Bentleys (I think) parked in the car park side by side, they belong to Mr Sullivan and Mr Gold if the personalised number plates were anything to go by!

View 2/2 of the West Stand. Fans were queuing at this end to collect matchday tickets. The West Ham Megastore entrance is in this Stand too.

A view of the Boleyn public house - what an excellent building, majestic! This is the view from the 1966 World Cup Sculpture, you can see my photographs of that by clicking here ==> The Champions

The Boleyn pub signs!

The busy Barking Road shops, the Eel and Fish bars were doing a roaring trade! Look at the queues. There's a Doctor Who Shop along this street too.
