But I live by Heathrow, nowhere near West Ham, never have done... I have no qualms about fans living miles from the team they support. Most people are born into a team, well in my case I was.
There has always been a West Ham fan in my family since they were formed as Thames Ironworks... I am actually the last in line, so my newborn daughter doesn't know it yet, but she is a West Ham supporter!
So so what if you live miles away, as long as you go occasionally. I was a Season ticket holder for 20 years, and went to half the away games each season. Then I got a mortgage and started shift work so the season ticket had to go. Then the game just got to expensive so I just cant afford to go anymore. Infact the last game I went to was the play off final a couple of seasons back.... So am I not a fan anymore because I don't go? Or just simply been priced out the game. I'd love to go when I am not working, but just to get a ticket and travel and something to eat... We are looking at almost £100... Not everyone earns big money... or to put it another way, my priorities are keeping a roof over my head and putting food on the table for my family....
And although it's not the same, I do watch every game on the internet if I am off work!
