WHTID have come up with a couple of great suggestions:
  • The Broadside:
    A reference to the Thames Ironworks ship-building days. The side of a ship, with guns blazing!:

  • The Boleyn Wall:
    A lasting reference to the legacy of our Upton Park home:

Surely people are over thinking this one.

The fans will have their own name for that part of the OS and I wouldn't be at all surprised if most people just called it what it is..... The Eastside.

It resonates with the BG ground too. :thup:

I like the Boleyn Wall suggestion and the Broadside is not bad. Would be good to have some references to the Boleyn at the stadium somewhere.
