The last time we spoke to you was after your25th anniversary celebrations last year, when you were joined by Hammers legends Steve Lomas and Mark Ward. What have you been up to since then?
“We officially released a book, called ‘The Only Religion Is West Ham: The Belfast Hammers Story’, in December 2024, which I authored with a foreword by Mark Ward. Fans can buy a copy online now.
“Following our anniversary, we enjoyed a visit by Julian Dicks and Mark Ward in April 2025, which was very well attended. We feel these sorts of events keep us close to the history and ethos of West Ham, and it was a roaring success.”
Have your members had much chance to meet up and/or attend matches in the 2025/26 season so far?
“As always, we have members attending most games, and we plan several larger trips throughout the season. Today, we will have 32 people at the game, plus our Season Ticket Holders, so around 40 in total.
“We already have flights and hotels booked for the last game of the season, against Leeds United, and we’re looking at doing another big trip in January.
“In Belfast, we’ve recently moved to Pug Ugly’s Bar for meetings and to watch games. We’re also planning a large trip to meet up with the Dublin Hammers in January, which we’re looking forward to!”
