A message from the Joint-Chairmen

London Stadium general view

 

On Saturday we return to London Stadium for what we all hope will be another memorable and successful afternoon, following on from our magnificent victory over Manchester United there last month.

The feeling and atmosphere inside the stadium that day was something truly special and you, the West Ham United fans, of course played a key role in that triumph with your incredible support.

This game is another opportunity to show the passion and pride that makes our supporters famous around the world, and to illustrate the effect your backing can have on the team throughout the game.

We also must remember that every supporter attending the game is acting as an ambassador for West Ham United and their behaviour should reflect the values and standards that we hold dear.

West Ham United is an inclusive football club. Regardless of age, race, disability, religion, sex, gender reassignment or sexual orientation, every supporter within our diverse fanbase is warmly welcomed at London Stadium, free to enjoy watching their team play football without fear, discrimination or abuse. And we remain committed to ensuring that every single member of the West Ham family feels safe, respected and included.

We, and everyone else at West Ham United, are very much looking forward to Saturday's game and the Claret and Blue Army showing the world what being a football fan is all about

Let us prove that there is simply no place in football for abuse, discrimination or bigotry of any form, and ensure that football, and a hopefully a great result for the Hammers, are what people are talking about on Sunday morning.

In the event that you happen to see or hear anything you think is unacceptable, it is important that you report anything of this nature to the relevant authorities to ensure it is investigated fully.

In the first instance, you may choose to speak to the nearest steward or police officer. Alternatively, you can report any unacceptable behaviour anonymously by texting or calling 07860 404069, where all information provided will be treated in the strictest of confidence.

We, and everyone else at West Ham United, are very much looking forward to Saturday's game and the Claret and Blue Army showing the world what being a football fan is all about – supporting with pride, passion and respect.

Come on you Irons!
