At that time the ground was in the Essex Urban Borough of East Ham, which later became a County Borough of Essex (West Ham across the road was already a County Borough).
It was only in 1965 with the merger of the two County Boroughs and North Woolwich to form Newham, that the area became part of London. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.235.153 ( talk • contribs) 16:59, 3 January 2007
Not being funny but wouldn't it make more sense for this article to be called Upton Park? I only found the page as I was looking at a list of Premier League grounds and I wondered who played there. I was suprised to find out it was West Ham. KingStrato 17:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
It should stay Boleyn Ground - It IS the Boleyn Ground at Upton Park, and as this is an encyclopedia so should use technically correct term and not the colloquial one. However, I do think there should be a redirect or a link if you search Upton Park.-- Schmoozy 21:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
By WP:COMMONNAME, this article should definitely be called Upton Park, as that name is much more widely used. The point above about the official name being the Boleyn Ground is moot, as by that logic we should have "Ronaldinho" at "Ronaldo de Assis Moreira" etc. Big Dom 21:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
The ground is called the Boleyn ground, so the article title should reflect that. I would agree that Ronaldo de Assis Moreira would be the better title for the "Ronaldinho" article too. 86.26.5.83 ( talk) 22:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Just corrected a few typos but i agree the article should be renamed Upton Park Irishmuppet 15:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I've reverted the move to Upton Park (stadium) per the R bit of WP:BRD as I feel this needs a full WP:RM discussion. There are a few reasons for this - the article has been at this title for a very long time, most of the talk page comments used to support the move are very old and recently I've seen the correct name being given more preference to the common name when the later is wrong. I'd also like to see some analysis of sources before the move is made. I currently think it should stay at this title but could be persuaded otherwise by a good argument.

The result of the move request was: not moved. "Upton Park" does come out as the most common name from my news searches, but "Boleyn Ground" does not come out as obscure (although it is much less common). WP:PRECISION recommends, for handling the ambiguity of titles such as "Upton Park", that we "choose a different, alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English, albeit, not as commonly as the preferred but ambiguous title (do not, however, use obscure or made up names)." If the potential subsequent discussion of what (if anything) is the primary topic of "Upton Park" determines that the stadium is the primary topic for that title, this should be moved to that base name ( Upton Park), since it would not need the qualifier. -- JHunterJ ( talk) 11:55, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
OK, at the request of the bloke who moved this I want to know who wants the article to be called Upton Park (stadium) and who wants it to be called the Boleyn Ground. Unreal7 ( talk) 23:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
I know we've only just finished the move request, but some people did say in the move section that it may be true that when people search for Upton Park they are looking for the stadium and not the area or anything else. I just want to point out that Hibernian's stadium Easter Road is the primary topic ahead of the road of the same name, and the same with Liverpool's stadium Anfield being the primary topic ahead of the district of the same name. Something that confuses me in each of the secondary topics is that Anfield stadium is also in Liverpool and Easter Road stadium is also in Edinburgh. Also, Tannadice redirects to Dundee United's ground Tannadice Park ahead of a village of the same name and, and this is similar to what, the original move was based upon, St. Mirren's old ground St. Mirren Park is called Love Street (stadium) as it was located near a street called Love Street. So, I think either Upton Park should be moved to Upton Park (disambiguation) to allow Upton Park to redirect here, or more simply, if it can be agreed, this page gets moved to Upton Park. I'll go with what the majority agree on. What do you think?.
Also, look at Upton Park's talk page, there is someone else who thinks this too, although the comment is two years old. Unreal7 ( talk) 08:27, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
