‘How could West Ham tell 20,000 fans they can’t come anymore’ as London Stadium debate explodes
West Ham have had a lot of talk surrounding the club over recent weeks.
The owners have come under scrutiny with a fan protest outside the London Stadium before the game against Crystal Palace.
It is fair to say that fans have not been happy with the performances on the pitch, but have an outstanding issue with owner David Sullivan.
West Ham have picked up just one win from their first six games in the Premier League, leaving them 19th in the league.
Stuart Pearce gives verdict on the London Stadium
The London Stadium has never felt like home for West Ham supporters, the gap between fans and the pitch playing a big part.
Stuart Pearce, who played for and coached the Hammers, gave his thoughts on talkSPORT, saying: “The London Stadium holds 60,000 odd people.
“If you regress and went to 40,000, how are you going to tell 20,000 West Ham season ticket holders they can’t come anymore.”
Three separate callers all said they had concerns about the London Stadium, and this stands for the majority of West Ham supporters.
Since leaving Upton Park, there is a different feeling in the ground; it’s not as intimidating and together as it once was.

Nuno Espirito Santo has his work cut out
Nuno was sacked from Nottingham Forest a few weeks ago and has landed the job at West Ham.
He comes into a side that has won just once this season, conceding 14 goals in six games.
With Nuno’s style of defending deep and being hard to break down, it sets up to improve the club’s defensive errors.
Nuno held Everton to a 1-1 draw on Monday, his first game in charge. His captain, Jarrod Bowen, was on the scoresheet again for The Hammers.
This result gives West Ham something to build on, in the hopes they can achieve Premier League survival.
