Today, we’re back in the capital city - in London's North West and Stratford. 

It’s hard to talk about West Ham without mentioning their geographic re-location. Moving away from their home in Upton Park three seasons ago, the Hammers took up residence in the Olympic Stadium bequeathed them in the wake of London 2012. 

This sort of casual dismissal of localism in sports fandom has become par for the course in recent years but West Ham’s story seems to offer a parable about the difficulties of a football club uprooting and making a new home. 

Only now, three years later, do West Ham look as though they’re about to turn a corner. A new manager last season bolstered by an impressive window, the club looks like they could cement themselves in the race for ‘best of the rest’ this time around. 

Could this be their most impressive season in recent years? Or could the influx of new names fail to gel and leave the Irons off the pace? 

Joining us today is a well-known name from the world of West Ham fandom: Danny Lewis. Danny is currently working with Snack Media and has contributed to No Place Like Home and These Football Times, as well as various West Ham related websites and fanzines.
