CTW Members Wonky Posted September 5, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted September 5, 2003 Upton Park Chief Terrence Brown has promised supporters that the hammer sales are over after selling fans in the Bobby Moore lower to Chelsea for £8m, despite claims he would only have to sell the fans in the Chicken Run. Brown had claimed in May, that the 'nucleus' of West Ham support would be kept. Brown's statement released yesterday read: "Chelsea now have an array of talent on the field, but because they have no fans, and the ones they do have are cr#p, Roman came in and bid for some fans, I had to say yes. Plus they were getting on my nerves a bit" As the deal was sealed, those entering the stadium for last nights game against Bradford, were whisked down to Stamford Bridge in coaches and ordered to support Chelsea. One former Hammers fan said: "The board and I had been in discussions for 18 months about the renewal of my season ticket, but ultimately I just wanted Champions League football to further my enjoyment of the sport, something the club couldn't provide. So I've pi55ed off to Chelsea with the players" Another supporter said: "I was preparing for life in division 1, when the board told me they'd sold me to Chelsea cos their fans are so pony. But now i'm here I'll forget about my past and start wearing naff earrings, mind you, it seems like yesterday I was telling fellow supporters not to pi55 off and leave just cos we got relegated" Trevor Brooking insisted today that no more supporters would have to be sold, despite claims in a newspaper this morning which suggested some fans would be loaned out to Portsmouth till the end of the season. However, Portsmouth club source stated "that's fiction, because even if we did, we'd have nowhere to put them... because our ground is a 5h1t hole." Brown was unavailable for comment today as he had changed the £8m into five pound notes and was rolling in the money in his garden, laughing.
