Joint-Chairman - We have amazing support

Joint-Chairman David Sullivan has nothing but praise for the West Ham United supporters

Joint-Chairman David Sullivan has nothing but praise for the West Ham United supporters after they sold out the 7200 allocation for the Emirates FA Cup Fifth Round tie against Blackburn.


Despite the long trip to Ewood Park, the Hammers fans once again showed their phenomenal support and will travel in their thousands for a huge game in the north west on Sunday.


The remaining tickets had only gone on General Sale on Tuesday but they were snapped up within 24 hours.


Mr Sullivan is hoping the fans will make it another day to remember as the Hammers look to reach the quarter-final stage of the competition.


He said: “It shows the passionate way our supporters love the FA Cup and this is for a game on live TV. I'm humbled by our support.


“We asked for more tickets from Blackburn, but sadly there was no way they could segregate us and give us more.


“I'm sure the fans will provide an amazing atmosphere on Sunday and hopefully we will be too good for them, but in football you never know. We will be fielding a strong side.”
