West Ham fans were left shocked when they heard the loud noise of their party boat crashing into a bridge on their way to a football game.

Football fans piled onto the boat which was due to take them to the West Ham v Fulham Premier League game at Craven Cottage yesterday.

West Ham was playing Fulham away at 3pm yesterday and some fans decided to travel in style to support their team at the West London football ground.

But disaster struck when their boat, which was making the journey along the Thames from East to West London, smashed into Hammersmith Bridge.

The boat had smashed into the bridge, bringing both the vessel and the football fans to a standstill ahead of the big match.

Thankfully the football fans were eventually able to get off the boat and make their way to the game.

He said: ‘Probably quite stressful trying to get West Ham fans to the game on time… another blow for Hammersmith bridge, but the chants are a bit special… (seems minor damage and hope all ok).’

He also shared a video which shows a packed boat moving down the river, with fans singing ‘I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles’.

The boat, which can hold up to 140 passengers and is named the Emerald of London, then smashes into the bridge, causing the singing to stop and forcing pedestrians to stop to see what was going on.
