Independent Rs Messageboard

[Steve Russell]

I was situated in the Lower section & would say the view wasn't
great but a bit better than I had expected & I certainly appreciated
the extra leg room.

When the team was announced I was surprised at the time to see
who was starting in goal.

However, in the 1st half he made an outstanding finger-tip save & went
on to have a superb match. Well done Joe.....

They scored in the 10th minute of added time but we grew into the
game in the 2nd half & Richard Kone's header resulted in absolutely
wild celebrations from the 9,000 R's fans.

R's fans loud & proud.

Rangers battled from the 1st minute to the 122nd.

As for getting back to the station

[Steve Russell]

There was some speculation about how many R's fans
had bought tickets in the home areas?

Impossible to put a figure on it as most would have
kept their heads down, but not this one...
From our Facebook group...

'Me!! Went mental when we scored and eventually got escorted out.
However, with reasoning, we ended up in the West Spam disabled section!!
The stewards, to be honest, were excellent.'

[Steve Russell]

And this one...

'I got kicked out shortly after the second half I was with my mate who is West Ham and in colours
cheering for West Ham.

Obviously me and the kids was just watching the game, no cheering or shouting
or even celebration of our goal! only me making comments about the game to my mate and they
even Kicked him out and he's West Ham! Shambles of a club.

West Ham? more like West Sham!'

[Steve Russell]

One more....

'Me to had my little boy with me had no colours on got sent to go and prove
I was a West Ham supporter was asked what the score was when they won Ruro cup,
who scored the winning goal in the game.

Who have been their last 3 captains and then he said you have one more chance and
asked what year they started playing at London Stadium, got every question wrong
and told to leave.'
