On Thursday night, the Irons re-posted a ‘#FarewellBoleyn’ video after running a Twitter commentary of the final game at the club’s old stadium (per West Ham), which left fans gutted.

The final game at Upton Park was in May 2016, when Winston Reid bagged a late winner to seal a 3-2 victory over Louis van Gaal’s Manchester United (per BBC).
However, with the Hammers’ move to the London Stadium not having turned out as planned for supporters (per The Guardian), they were left devastated following the club’s post of old footage.
Cheers lads just cried

If you had the option to move back to Upton Park, would you take it?Yes, that was a real homeNo, we need to move on |
What do we think?
While reading the responses from many West Ham supporters, there is no second-guessing required over how the majority of them feel about the move from Upton Park to the London Stadium.
It seems as though many of them would love to be able to turn back the clock and remain at the club’s old home if that were possible.
