Irons fans struggled to come to terms with saying goodbye to Upton Park as they waved away unforgettable memories as they moved into the stadium built for the Olympics.
Supporters were not the only people who found the transition hard, with the players also underperforming in their new stadium.
Shortly after their move, fans found it difficult to bring their atmosphere from Upton Park into their new home.
