Ventured out to West Ham United against Arsenal today on boxing day with a good mate of mine from Brisbane via London.

Walking to the Boleyn

We caught up at a pub in Plaistow where we grabbed a few pre match beers and a pie and mash. Not bad for a £12 pie either!

Made our way to the stadium and took up our seats in the Booby Moore stand. Nice view for a chilly game of football in London.

I thought it was a nice touch by running the scores across the electronic screens at half time, something I had not seen before on previous visits to the Boleyn Ground.

Good idea to run the scores across the LED Boards

Some interesting merchandise ideas were seen at the end of the game too
