Speaking to a colleague whose brother is on the press staff at West Ham, he says that Martin O'Neill has been in serious talks with them in the last few days. O'Neill is speaking to his agent about the offer that's been made - £2.5million per year and a 2 year contract. Seems that the club is letting the Allardyce bandwagon run as it's keeping the press attention more or less off what's happening elsewhere. I asked my colleague about possible away numbers to KMS and he reckons because 'it's only Doncaster' (his words not mine) they will only be bringing around 1500 - 2000 supporters. To the bigger games like Leeds he reckons around 5000 will travel there.
Hmm...another team that'll come to KM and try to thug their way through the game.

Having lived in West Ham country for several years, I can say they'll probably join in.

Brings back \"fond\" memories of working in the dead of night at Plaistow tube in the 1990s.A mate of mine used to drink in the Green Man at Bethnal Green, not one of the area's most savoury pubs if you remember the place. The locals used to run a Deathwish Club: you all picked a famous person who you expected to cark it soon (no Royalty, no Pope, no Archbishop of Canterbury) and put in a tenner a week, the winner taking the lot. Given the gangland connections of many of the blokes who drank in the place, on one occasion they had to freeze the pot when it reached twenty grand as they couldn't guarantee somebody not putting a contract out on their particular ailing celeb. (It was Paul Eddington who eventually won, that particular time.)
