In search of Ham

The army of best supporters in the league have been told that, today, victory lies at a place called Oldham.

 

Why Oldham? There are plenty of other hams to choose from. Take Newham for instance. Much nearer to home, and a nice day out in the big city. Or, apparently, there's a West Ham and an East Ham nearby.

 

There is also a place there called Tottenham, but the local team from the area are sending their third team down to the South Coast with somebody called Saggychops to collect some free Premier League points. However, decent football fans have been strongly advised to avoid this area. The "Rogue Guide" describes the streets as being "... littered with torn-open, empty plain brown envelopes.", and the area is under close scrutiny by the Premier League fraud squad, who are looking for an explanation for the mystery of Tottenham's disappearing points. Apparently, Tottenham have only been picking up 2.7 points for each win this season. 10% of the points have been inexplicably disappearing, and the PLFS are searching for clues.

 

Much closer to home, of course, there's Upham, or even Lower Upham, or there's a few Downhams if we wanted to head east. Or why not a nice day out in Wareham?

 

But the powers that be have decreed that Oldham it is, so the best army of away supporters in the land have switched on their Tom Tom's and are on the road.

 

Incidentally, I hope they've told the people from Oldham which one of the Hamptons are coming today. They'll be very disappointed if they're expecting Littlehamptons.
