Most of the West-Ham fans will be decent well behaved fans,of course you'll get the dick heads but every club has them,us included. Imagine the outrage if some of our scarf wearing law abiding non violent fans got hurt, as a way of getting back from last week. The Forum would be awash with vitriol on Sunday. If this is the case, then hope that we dont get a replay midweek down there.

Talk of major trouble last sat is nonsense , nowhere near enough Stoke fans to begin to cause trouble there , no doubt there will be some Bravado from both sides on Sunday dont worry about it

4,800 Alf Garnetts- do you think they can out bigot us?- I think they will be pushed on this. Any one got any footage of the 20 st 50 year old who invaded the pitch against Millwall last year- he had to hold his belly to run accross the pitch- he was the Cockney version of a world class sprinter- will be appearing at the Olympic Stadium in 2012- his name -Insane Bolt Think the 50 stone muppet is in this somewhere

Lad in my masters course at uni is a west ham lad and he has told me that there is a big buzz of trouble coming from their end.
He is a big hammer but has opted not to buy tickets this time because of it!! And he lives at Keele!!
He reckons that they were planning on buying as many tickets in the home end as possible.
It's like the 1970s reborn :-\

They will get clobbered and it will crank up the atmosphere in the Stoke end. Unless you are a loon, best thing to do in the home end is stay inconspicuous and at most, smile if you score.

They ought to arrange another venue so that one set of hooligans can fight the other set in peace - Well away from people who actually prefer to watch a football match

West Ham fan here in peace.
I have been told that the 8 coaches that went to Birmingham who were fighting on the Coventry Road were the ICF. The only reason they went is because Brum fans apparently took 'liberties' at our place and thus they were put in their place up there.
I have also been told that against you lot there are 9 coaches of the ICF travelling up - possibly even the night before.
I don't want to add any fuel to the fire - just giving you guys the 'heads up' so you know what to expect. I am just a normal fan who got wind of this after chatting with a geezer after the game on Saturday and I would never condone this type of behaviour.
We are the same as you guys, 95% of us are just normal football fans, who enjoy a bit of friendly banter. It's just a shame the minority spoil it and we all get classified as dickheads.
Be safe.

They dont have a choice mate, in the cup you have to offer the away side 15% of your capacity. In our case thats 4250 seats. shame mate , because everyone knows theres only one outcome , i know for a fact they give the whole away sir trevor brooking stand in the cup both tiers which is 5,812 Tickets , so if we draw i hope we take this many down there If we draw on Sunday and have a replay in London on a Tuesday night I hope to christ they dont give us 5,812 tickets as the 5,000 empty seats would look a tad embarrasing.

Hello chaps, yes, as ever most at our place really don't ike the idea of a mob of grown men starting on scarfers and hitting one in the face with a belt buckle, I doubt any club likes that
I've had a st at WH for fifteen plus years and never seen any bother worth talking about, that said though it can be a lot more lively away, even in this day and age and I'm afriad Stoke, amongst other venues has history and not much love for a lot of our more boisterous supporters, we still take a large and livelt set of blokes away with us, especially for a cup tie like this, if anything the size of the allocation is a good thing for those worrying about bother, it very much tends to dilute the usual 2,000 away supporters
of course there's going to be some scuffles and scrapping somewhere but as you say the coppers will doubtless all be out on overtime being draconian amd way over the top, I've not thrown a punch since school but I do like a backdrop of hooligan at an away trip, as long as no-one gets hurt and I'm safe and sound
as for brum, I was went and most of the talk I heard was Brum being very up for it, largely helped by the famous WM police, bless them
anyway, I'm very looking forward to it, tickets arrived today, it's a 7am coach, gulp, I suspect we'll be stopping for a shrt sharp booze outside of town and the being delivered to the ground, I came to your place a few seasons ago, I remeber the Harvesters and a huge carpack with Stoke on the horizon
What do you think you'll do differently to the league game, you were badly out played then, aftr a long old season we seem to have suddenlt it form and Hitzelberger and Ba have really sparked the team, 14 goals in four games ffs
anyway, lets hope no-one minding their business gets any trouble, I've seen no-one on our sites that wants that, with a 4,500 allocation I dibt anyone is seriously going to be trying to get into any of your stands, that sort of thing is ancient history surely?
as for fat blokes in shorts, yes we do have plenty of them, I bet you do too though, all shapes and sizes under the flag, that's what I love about a good awayday, the herberts and outright nutters you bump into and have a laugh with without risk of getting battered
see you all Sunday

West ham fan here
Just got to say that the bloke talking about 9 coaches of icf going on Sunday is taking utter shit. What's that 50 per coach!? That would be like 450 nutters!! Sorry but he's way off, it ain't the 80's !!

Sorry but he's way off, it ain't the 80's !! We all know that some fans like to 'brag' about their teams hooligans, whilst at the same time saying that they are in no way a hooligan themselves, these are usually pathetic wannabes (Don't know who's more pathetic, the wannabes or the spot ridden chavvy fuckers causing trouble) Let's leave them all to it, anybody see's any trouble, stay well away and enjoy the day, leave them to it.

funny seeing people taking the piss out of the ICF on here. The best trick they pulled was making people believe what posters on here said, that they dont really exist anymore, and isnt many of them.
There may well be trouble in the cup game, but any proper west ham firms will only be after the stokies who caused trouble at upton park, or people who want and will organise to meet them.
the rest of the trouble will just be idiots throwing shit around, like at a few prem games this season.
you get twats supporting all teams.
Dont expect hammers fans to just walk around attacking innocent people, it rarely happens. Firms only fight other firms, not the scarfers.
the whole thing is just bollocks anyway, police should of arrested the stokies on saturday and be the end of it.

Why does everyone seem to be bothered? Fair enough there bringing 4800 and some will be nob heads but we all know there's going to be 20,000 stokies there and if any of them get hurt god help the west ham fans......

lol at this thread all that shit about scarfers being hit at W Ham, those who got done were calling it on tought shit, heard it all before, yes West Ham still have a mob, but its more like 60-100 blokes, all this shite about bringing 9 coaches is bollocks, I remember Man City years ago were coming to take over Stoke and look what happened, and Man Utd this year and again went home packing, bring em on. Stoke town centre is'nt that hard to find.

This incident at West ham has been blown out of proportion completely by their site KUMB. Their were two mobs of stoke hooligans im told. Some West ham lads started the Norther cants and bit off more than they could chew. Note the lad on the youtube clip with the blood on his face,doesnt look like a little schoolboy to me. No kids or scarfers were attacked. KUMB have got a lot to answer for stoking this.

I was fuming how I was kept back 30 minutes after the end of the game because of the 'ICF' and us Stokies apparently scrapping this made me miss my train where I had to fork out £63.50 to get home! I hope these hooligans are caught and if their coming up the evening before watch yourself round Stoke a cockney accent! I spent over £190 last weekend for 1 game of football and it was awful, the police were arseholes down there! Lets beat them Sunday and hopefully write history!

20 mins is the norm at our place, usually the neanderthals gets bored after 5 mins and wander off. give the rozzers a chance to move on the stragglers and get the escort organised.
that said theres rarely any trouble at our place now, usually its the likes of cardiff and everton and wolves who try to stoke it up a bit(no pun intended)
