  • 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 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 ❤

    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!!!!!

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.

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
