Noble urges West Ham not to think about Upton Park exit

West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble has urged his teammates to mark their final season at Upton Park on a high.

West Hamwill leave the East London venue, which has been their home since 1904, by moving to the Olympic Stadium next season and understandably fans are sentimental regarding the switch.

Boyhood fan and now West Ham captain Noble also has fond memories of the Boleyn Ground and has urged his teammates to mark their final season at the historic stadium with a good end to the season.

Noble said: "Upton Park means a lot to the players but we don't think about leaving the stadium when we run out on the pitch.

"You don't think about leaving Upton Park, just your job on a Saturday or Tuesday night.

"If the lads are switched on and ready to play I'm pretty sure we will end the season on a high."
