It was supposed to be a night of celebration as a leading English Premier League club marked the end of a 112-year stay at its historic ground ahead of a move to the Olympic Stadium.
Instead, it will be largely remembered for the ugly scenes that erupted before West Ham's game with Manchester United Tuesday, after the visitors' bus was attacked as it crept towards the Boleyn Ground.
Both West Ham and the English Football Association have promised to find the culprits of the bus attack, with the London club threatening life bans to any supporters found guilty.
"It was an extraordinary night full of extraordinary moments in front of extraordinary fans," the club said in a statement after the game, referring to West Ham's dramatic 3-2 comeback win.
