This Lego representation is available for you to buy as a permanent reminder of the famous ground, a unique once in a lifetime gift for any Hammers fan. The last and largest of the Boleyn Ground stands to be replaced was the West Stand, which was rebuilt as a 15,000-seat structure and opened by HM The Queen in 2001. The new West Stand contains a hotel, executive boxes and other facilities. And it is the last year that West Ham play at this historic ground in Green Street in East London. I have been watching them at least once (now that I am abroad) since 1994 and hopefully for a final time towards the end of November against West Brom. The ground will be demolished and we move to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Stadium in Stratford for the start of 2016/17 season. I have seen my heroes play there, some sublime games, and memorable results but it will be no more next year.

He’ll always be remembered for that goal [against Fiorentina], no matter what happens. If he’s here for another seven years then hopefully he might have a statue by the end of it for the goals he scores here. Boleyn Ground (West Ham United): That was good fun, a lot of good colours. I won’t bother with the Olympic Stadium. The actual stadium was built on a plot of land next to and in the grounds of Green Street House. The field in which the pitch was to be laid was originally used to grow potatoes and cabbages and, as such, the pitch was often referred to by the locals as 'The Potato Field' or 'The Cabbage Patch', while the ground itself was originally named ‘The Castle’ during its initial 1904/05 season. Well, no doubt West Ham will be flogging all types of things from the ground as a buyable memento of the famous stadium, but if you are a AFOL like myself, methinks you can go one better. West Ham's first game at their new home was against Millwall on 1 September 1904. It drew a crowd of 10,000, the majority of whom were rewarded as West Ham ran out 3-0 winners.We did a Lego morning and they all designed their own future Dulwich Hamlet stadium – it was great fun.

To get an idea of what goes into making a stadium and how I work, feel free to watch this film that was filmed for Danish TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLyJvDjpS3U I made a replica of Dulwich Hamlet’s Champion’s Hill. We did an event at the local club where school kids came along. West Ham were forced to play ten war-time matches away from home while repairs were carried out, return in December 1944. The ground was developed and improved over the following decades. However, in August 1944 much of that good work was ruined when a German V-1 flying bomb landed on the south-west corner of the pitch. The bomb not only caused severe damage to the ground, but the resulting fire also gutted the Club's offices and destroyed historical records and documents. War time damage to the Boleyn Ground Me thinks that you have to be a somewhat diehard fan to get one of these. I love my club, but this is a little extreme even for me, mainly because as mentioned before, I would have no where to display it and I could not take it apart. And if I did get hold of it, there would be the huge temptation to fiddle around with it and see how it can be improved.

West Ham United moved to the stadium now known as the Boleyn Ground for the start of the 1904/05 season. We’re maybe a third of the way through the season, so if he can keep it going [20 goals is realistic],” Moyes said. “I’m pushing him to keep his goals up and I want him to keep getting recognised by England. Goalscorers are so important. Whether he plays wide or centre forward, he’s such a threat in the Premier League now. I’m not able to produce these stadiums as kits with instructions, it would need Lego to do that, so if you would like to support the idea please vote for my Lego Ideas stadium submission and who knows maybe one day it will happen : https://ideas.lego.com/projects/91797 For three years the Crystal Palace supporter has been addicted to building Lego models of British football stadiums. Where it all began: A Lego-built Selhurst Park Looking at Smith’s completed stadiums it would be reasonable to assume that meticulous planning had gone into the creation.
