Dawud Marsh's Photo Diary

Just Like My Dreams They Fade and Die Part 3

My final post in this mini series about the final season at the Boleyn and this thread focuses on the ground itself. Apart from one photo, I took these on a stadium tour I managed to join before the gates were closed for the last time. It was quite emotional in many ways, looking out onto the pitch remembering some of the best matches in recent history, not least some very special results in the last season. I am sure many readers here will bring up some of these memories in the comments below. Hearing the crowd cheering on our team, shouting out at the referee and inevitable criticism of individual players from both teams became part of that special atmosphere that built Upton Park to be what it was for many over the years – our home. Time to draw a line now and move on? It has certainly been an emotional journey looking through my photos and editing them ready to post. Be great to read what others have to say.
