Publisher's Synopsis
West Ham United, the object of an irrational affection that has dominated the life of journalist and writer Brian Williams, has moved from its old home to what was the Olympic Stadium in Stratford. It is not a move he welcomed. The relocation has forced supporters to leave behind all the match day rituals that go with the game. A pint in the Denmark Arms, a hot dog in Priory Road, an occasional trip to the wonderful Newham Bookshop. All of this has been replaced by a soulless stadium and corporate catering. Williams charts the most momentous change in his club's history by comparing the last season at his beloved Boleyn Ground with the first at the London Stadium.
