We came together on May 19th of 2012 when West Ham was fighting to get back into the Premier league. Two friends (Richard and Wayne) decided to go to the Londoner in Addison to watch West Ham battle Blackpool to regain entry to the Premier League.  To their surprise, about a dozen other Hammers fans decided to do the same. A few beers into the match and an East End lad named Phil approached Wayne and said, “You look like the kinda geezer who likes to organize stuff!” and the Dallas Hammers were born with Wayne's gathering of everyone's names and emails.

The next couple years we watched matches at a number of different watering holes including the Allen Wickers, The Vickery Park, The British Lion, and the Londoner Pub in Addison. We had no Pub of our own so we became nomads for West Ham leaving our calling card wherever we fancied. We had a right ole laugh and made some good friends. One time we were watching at the Man City Pub in Frisco and the Satellite TV went out.  That didn't stop us from having fun as we huddled around our cell phones (see photos on our website).  Perfectly in time, on the count of three, we jumped up cheering and all the City fans went quiet!  We hadn't scored a goal, but they weren't smart enough to get on their phones and figure it out.  We had a lot of fun that day and made some new friends.

In 2015 we started off the season visiting other pubs and West Ham was doing great, beating all opposition and shocking the Top 4 clubs. Those early games we watched at Vickery Park (now closed) and the Londoner, Addison.   Of course we out sung other supporters, and Barry the owner from the Londoner jokingly told us we weren't allowed to sit at the table we has sat at every week as we beat eveyone when we were there.  It was a lucky table for certain, but we really needed a place to call home. 

Phil (One of the original dirty dozen) suggested we try his local in The Colony and we landed at McSwiggan’s Irish Pub.  It was obvious from the  first morning, with the hospitality we were shown, that this was was now gonna be our HOME!!! Its a great pub with great staff and we love it there!  The Irish Breakfast isn't really Irish but it's big and the place opens up early for us to watch matches!  Thanks to the staff at McSwiggans (Kat, Denai, Lindsey and a few others along the way) we are at our pub for just about every match. Goal scored, bar staff ring the bell, and the pub goes wild!!! What more could a rowdy bunch of West Ham fans ask for?  Plus they open for us at 6am on early kick offs!

We muster regular crowds from 20-30 at watch events and our largest to date was for the Europa Conference Final 2023!!! We had over 80 West Ham fans in the pub that day and it was an amazing celebration. So, come and join us as we are one big West Ham Family and love to see new faces. Once you join us for a watch party you'll never go anywhere else.
