Open season

This would be a real test of logistics. Thursday had seen nearly 55,000 leave the ground after the 3-0 win in the Europa League without many issues. Today would see a similar number having to negotiate tens of thousands of shoppers plus the crowds heading to the "urban beach" next to the stadium. The route to the stadium took us through the shopping centre where blue-rinsed shoppers berating the Hammers fans for delaying the opening of Marks & Spencers. "Oi! I want to buy my bloody Sunday lunch for my old man. But no! I have to wait for you lot".
