We capture the sights and sounds of the last day at West Ham's iconic Upton Ground stadium. We meet the locals and the fans and enter the turnstiles one last time. It is the end of a way of life. There are tears.
Entirely filmed by self-shooter Roger Stotesbury on May 10th. An example of his style of short documentary work.
Animation by Aleks Budimir. Image of the branded Olympic Stadium is from West Ham United.
I miss it so much. My club has never been the same since
Blame them jews for that.
I live next to the Boleyn ground and now is just buildings new apartments and the people that live there probably don’t even know where they’re sleeping. So many great players came to Upton Park glad to see them live. West Ham forever ❤
Season Ticket holder for 40 years......God I miss the Boleyn.So Sad.
I was on that wall, even though I can't afford to go I came from Essex every week just to stand on that wall and get the atmosphere, i'm forever blowing bubbles!

Upton Park is in our hearts 😢❤❤
I m forever blowing bubbles from Athens-Greece! Cheers!
Amazing documentary ! Lots of respect to this people and WHU CAN BE SURE, that have a fan, a supporter, an admirer here in Brazil! Best regards from Brazil to everyone
Im by no means a football lover. Here in SA we have nothing that compares to the passion you guys share for the game. I can only imagine how hard it must have been, seeing the stadium host the last game for your club. What you can take away is, memories. For what is life without memories. The generations, the friends, the family. take it with you, and carry it proudly. BUBBLES!!!!!
Well I think we have finally began to adapt to the london stadium but the memories of upton park could never be replaced
I lot of effort was put into this video, by the look of it. All I can say is well done, From a "Chicken Run" season ticket holder, and a West Ham fan since 1967. COYI.
Great vid, miss this place more than ever, Stratford isn't doing it for me
Football lost it's soul
but not at west ham, the atmosphere is top notch
😢❤️⚒ RIP Boleyn ground 1904-2016.
Respect from Hamburg
I am from Argentina, a fan of Chacarita jrs. This video is exciting, the roots of a club are in its stadium. greetings friends hammers
Wonderful. Thank you.
Fantastic.
The owners sold us a pup . Should never have left . Decision will come back to Haunt them I believe .
So so sad. RIP West ham UNITED. NEVER BEEN NEVER WILL GO TO STRATFORD EVER !
I am not a West Ham supporter but i love football . Your club is in your veins
I was there.. i couldn't get in but i had to just be there.. threw a sickie at work.⚒️

The day West Ham United was murdered by West Ham London
I went to rokeby school from 2007-2011 went to newvic from 2011-2014 I miss it. Lived down Samson street . what these politicians have done to us is wrong. it doesn’t matter about race creed religion we are West Ham. But this day this day was a sad sight to be seen. My first game was West Ham vs Sunderland me dad is a Mackem and it was the greatest day of my life I’ll always miss you ;my Upton Park my Boleyn
Never forgive gsb. Our past sold for the bowl without a soul .
tear jerker ....
Wow
Blocks of flats!!!! A tall block of flats! Hmmmm....that would be very incongruous for East London! Right?! :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Browning road ? Where abouts was the ground then , i used to live near sheridan road funnily enough !
Massive club Great boleyn upton park stadium BUT The club went for changes and for many years it transformed to another level that upton park couldnt fill So it was time to move one London stadium is powerful Youll see
Worried that we will regret it if Forest move from the City Ground. I dont want to move to a soulless big stadium.
Im so glad we still got anfield. No way bringing it down!
Don't forget about Goodison
Oh shut up it's a football stadium nothing more stop crying
@@michaelharrison3602 mate your one of those people that live in Coventry and support one of those teams like Manchester United or Liverpool
@@affan9748 actually I'm one of those guys that lives in Bermondsey and supports Millwall
6:15 "How do you know I'm British? "I've looked at your tooth, lofe"
What did they do with the Bobby Moore statue?
In Europe next year, has Moyesy taken up songwriting ?
Greedy property developers destroying areas of London and taking away history .
Wie traurig 😢
What day was that?
How can you tell when a west ham fan is going to do a poo? His wife and kids gather around with their knives and forks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No world cup without West Ham
Let me add that to the list of honours West Ham have won... oh wait, only 4 trophies🤣
What I’d give to get it back maybe the new investor can buy the land back
Football should never be played in a Olympic Stadium
We had to move, but it’s finally paid off.
Paid off in what way? More money yes, but your identity?
@@mattrose6340 better squad. Playing in Europe. Wouldn’t happen at UP.
@@bobkatfan2013 First 2-3 seasons was a real struggle at the London Stadium though. Although can attract better players and bring in more money etc, a part of West Ham died when you left Upton Park. Moved 3 miles down the road to Stratford to play in a soulless bowl that seems like miles from the pitch.
@@mattrose6340 the miles from the pitch is a load of rubbish. You’re closer at the OS than some other Premier stadiums.
@@bobkatfan2013 Like where? If you are in the top tier behind the goal, the players are like ants. It’s an athletics stadium at the end of the day and even if you move the seats closer, the seats at the back will always be the same distance from the pitch which is a long way. Having said that, it is starting to feel a lot more like home for West Ham.
I stopped watching arsenal in 2002, as arsenal decided to leave highbury Have not seen arsenal since, and never will again Highbury will always be what arsenal was for me, standing on the north bank as a kid For me, arsenal is dead, highbury is gone So i understand what these west ham fans feel like. Highbury went and so did my love for arsenal. So i know what you guys feel like, but off course for you it was west ham, and upton park. Your new ground will never replace the old stadium. Glad i will never watch arsenal again, no matter what they do. Arsenal for me, will always be highbury, remember my first game there paying £4 as a kid to stand on north bank So i know what you west ham fans feel like
UNITED❤
It s a drama
The fan when we move to the Olympic stadium we will be the biggest club in London lol, Arsenal 31 majors, Chelsea 22 majors, spurs 18 majors, West ham 4 majors
He meant in terms of stadium seating capacity
Building a new stadium for what??? The atmosphere is not the same, fuck the Olympic park, WE WANT BACK THE BOLEYN!
Another working class club, gobbled up in the name of 'progress' ...really sad!
Don't get to b*tchy lads as a nemesis rival fan you know I agree why moving home is home I hate Stratford personally I went to boylan ground good atmosphere. Karma came a bit me on the back side so at the time in 2010 London stadium was my client guess who moved in so whu became my other client until last year 2023 I've moved onto health care work the lads have been brilliant thank whu for giving me happiness and GRIEVE because I represented LS
😂😂😂😂
Olympic stadium is a load of bollox you can't even see the pitch bring back the boleyn
fackkingggg mugggssss
