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

The following year, on 17 October 1970, a record league attendance of 42,322 turned out to watch the Hammers draw 2-2 with rivals Tottenham Hotspur in Division One. The stadium shortly before redevelopment work began Two years later, the North Bank was replaced by a 6,000-seat stand initially named the Centenary Stand for obvious reasons, but subsequently re-named in honour of Sir Trevor Brooking in 2009. 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. Deepdale (Preston North End): This was fun. I had to get faces laser printed onto the Lego to make it work. 40 out of 92 Building a stadium from hundreds of pieces of themoplastic polymer understandably takes a lot of time and effort.The Boleyn Ground underwent extensive redevelopment work in the early 1990s in the advent of the Taylor Report. In 1993, a new South Stand was opened and named in honour of Club legend Bobby Moore. The Bobby Moore Stand is home to the Club offices.

Now, some of you are probably thinking “what is this bampot on about, rambling on about football on BF?!” West Ham were forced to play ten war-time matches away from home while repairs were carried out, return in December 1944.

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. 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.

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 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. 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. It’s much more interesting doing the lower league clubs. They tend to have a lot more character,” he says.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. And the chap is attempting to build all 92 League grounds at some point, that is one hell of a challenge. 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 United moved to the stadium now known as the Boleyn Ground for the start of the 1904/05 season. We did a Lego morning and they all designed their own future Dulwich Hamlet stadium – it was great fun.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.
