Our Next Event

A New & Special Era... with Bishop!
Date: Saturday 30 Sep 2023
Time: 11:00-14:00

We are delighted to announce our third pre-match event of the season, also marks the start of a new era for the ever popular West Ham Way pre-match events. And such is the stature of the occasion, we will be joined by none other than East London cult hero and midfield favourite from the 90’s – Ian Bishop!

Bishop joined the club alongside Trevor Morley from Man City in a swap deal for Mark Ward in 1989 and played until 1998. He made 284 appearances for the club and scored 16 goals and was known for his brilliant passing ability and long locks! Not only was he great on the pitch, he has a whole host of stories to tell from off it and there is nobody better than his former team mate, and our new host, Martin Allen to discuss them with.

Our new and popular host is a crowd favourite and he has already received amazing reviews. Those listeners of the popular Mad Dog Bites podcast will already know what you are going to get from Martin too!

Join us at new home of The West Ham Way Pre-match Event – Colour Factory, situated just minutes from Hackney Wick station. Our new home offers a spacious and impressive area for West Ham fans to meet, outside areas, large bars with a huge range of drinks, state of the art screens and sound system. The venue is also only a 10-minute walk from the stadium and will be the place to be before matches.
