A fitting farewell to the Boleyn Ground

As West Ham United prepare for a future at the Olympic Stadium, the Club are pressing on with plans to finalise a fitting farewell to the Club's home of 110 years.

With two-and-a-half years to give the Boleyn Ground the perfect send-off, the Hammers are calling on supporters to leave their mark on proceedings.

The Hammers' Supporter Advisory Board (SAB) members have already got the ball rolling and this is your chance to tell them how you envisage the Club's final Upton Park season taking shape.

So should you know an SAB member and would like to share your ideas and memories, please get in touch with them.

During a recent meeting, the SAB discussed the prospect of themed matches for each and every game of the final season and the celebrations surrounding the very last game. The Club is also collating opinion on a grand final-curtain event.

Meanwhile, the SAB showed a great deal of interest in the auction of Boleyn Ground memorabilia, as well as commemorative tours in the final season.

As it stands, the SAB has already offered the following suggestions and the Club is keen to compile many more.

· A countdown clock in the Boleyn, ticking down to the first whistle of the final game.

· Breaking the world record for the most people simultaneously blowing bubbles on the last day at the Boleyn.

· A commemorative programme similar to the very first ever issued.

· Guard of honour of both former and current players as part of the last moments at the Boleyn.

As expected, there were differing views on how exactly the final Boleyn Ground game might shape up and similarly on the look of a commemorative home shirt. With that in mind, the wider consultation of the fan base is even more important, so make sure your voice is heard.

For the full report of the SAB's last meeting, click here, while the Farewell to the Boleyn Ground focus group is set to reconvene on Tuesday 25 February. Future consultation topics will include:

· What would supporters like the commemorative kit to look like? Should it be the traditional claret and blue or a limited edition kit?

· Suggestions on possible themed matches, allowing supporters to vote for their favourites.

· Detailed list of what Boleyn Ground tours should include in the lead-up to the move.

· Begin to outline and elaborate on plans for a closing ceremony at the Boleyn Ground.

· Thoughts on how the Club can best collate fan stories and memories through the years at the Boleyn.

· Conduct a detailed discussion of possible items to be included in the auction.

The SAB is your platform and the Club looks forward to hearing from as many supporters as possible in the coming weeks and months,not least with the prospect of celebrating the Club's 120th anniversary next season.
