Young lad doing some fabulous community work.

Builders deserve some credit for recognising the importance of the bricks.

West Ham, surely they must have been involved? Seems like everyone just didnt care?

Our club has done a tremendous job with the garden, i hope that doesnt get lost if times become hard again.

I was saddened to read about damage to the memorial garden this week. Not vandalism as such but unnecessary mess, inc. dog poo. Some people.

Brilliant. I actually shed a tear reading that. It's such a refreshing change to read something nice and positive which is down to earth and about ordinary people.

What a wonderful thing this boy and his mum are doing. Brought so much happiness to so many families I guarantee. West Ham shown up to be heartless as you would expect. So what they have put their names somewhere else. Would like to know if they had contacted the owners of the bricks and let them know. They would have had receipts when these bricks were paid for and should have returned them to their owners where possible. Doesnt surprise me though with the owners they have

I believe that Burnley had something similar. Does it still stand?

How the hell could West Ham allow the wall to be demolished and, potentially, lost for good ?
