"?Tuesday night's game between West Ham and Manchester United was the last ever at the Boleyn Ground and one of the best clashes of the season. But if you look at any major news outlet, the top stories since have been about the smashing of a window on the United team coach.
There is no way to defend the actions of the few violent individuals, but the Boleyn Ground farewell should not be remembered for this isolated incident simply because it sells papers, it should be remembered for so much more.
Football fans from all around the world tuned into Tuesday's game and #FarewellBoleyn was trending on Twitter all day, much to the frustration of Arsenal fans who were upset at the level of coverage compared to when they left Highbury.
To those Gunners fans, it is worth mentioning that Highbury closed just three months after the birth of Twitter and before such wide scale television coverage.
Can't believe today is the last ever game at the boleyn ground. Many happy memories there. #FarewellBoleyn
Anyway, the point is, it was a memorable occasion. The atmosphere in the ground was electric, goosebump-inducing, arguably the most incredible it has ever been in its 112 years as the home of West Ham United.

The terraces have seen it all, from relegations and humiliating defeats, to memorable victories on the way to winning the FA Cup and promotion to the Premier League.
Just this season, the Hammers managed to remain unbeaten at home in the league for almost nine months, the best home record in the division.
The Boleyn Ground, or Upton Park as it is often known as, has been a fortress, and every claret and blue fan will be able to describe you moments in that stadium where they have felt on top of the world.
Tuesday's match encapsulated all of those emotions, from the lows of starring defeat in the face, to the magnificent highs, coming from behind to beat Louis van Gaal's charges and move ever closer to securing European qualification.
Fans of other teams will read the back pages of the newspapers and focus on the actions of a few fans who threw bottles and cans at the United team coach, smashing a window.
Their reason for doing so is unknown, with some reports suggesting that the poor policing lead to fears of being crushed and that the missiles were in retaliation. Whatever the reason, this is not the time to pick the incident apart, because it is not news.

On Tuesday 10th May, West Ham United played their last ever game at the Boleyn Ground where they beat Manchester United 3-2 in one of the best games of the season. It was a phenomenal occasion remembered for the atmosphere, late Winston Reid winner and celebratory fireworks after.
Legends of the game like Bobby Moore and Sir Geoff Hurst graced its turf and some of their best goals at the Boleyn were remembered. And that is exactly how Upton Park should be remembered.
