Sky Sports’ relentless Upton Park coverage is irritating plenty of football fans

For those that (some how) weren't aware, Sky Sports are going to great lengths to let everyone know that The Last Game at the Boleyn Ground™ is nearly upon us.

West Ham's old ground, which most people prefer to call Upton Park, opens its turnstiles for the last time on Tuesday night, with Manchester United the visitors. Sky are due to screen the match and have seemingly been reminding us of this during every possible advert break over the last couple of days. But as if their special advert for the game wasn't enough, Sky Sports News has been broadcasting live from the old ground for large chunks of Monday, much the the irritation of many of those on Twitter... Some ironically suggested that they weren't paying enough attention to the significance of the occasion...  https://twitter.com/1wozza/status/729578852977086464 Others were still coming to terms with the fact that they'd been calling it the wrong name all these years... https://twitter.com/smegheg/status/729379511683403778 But generally speaking, the majority of those tweeting about it made it clear that they felt they were going a little over the top about it all. https://twitter.com/MarkJohnColton2/status/728925496579338240 https://twitter.com/StueySquires/status/729594312414142465 https://twitter.com/GPTurner80/status/729611548864462849 And it wasn't just fans of other teams that were finding it a little irritating. Even West Ham supporters were getting irked by it all. https://twitter.com/KimWHU/status/729563964993118208
