FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A GROUP OF WEST HAM FANS MAKE A FORMAL REQUEST TO THE OWNERS OF THE CLUB TO CONDUCT AN INDEPENDANTLY AUDITED CONSULTATION WITH SEASON TICKET HOLDERS AND MEMBERS ON THE CLUBS POSSIBLE MOVE TO STRATFORD.
A group of West Ham United football fans, both for and against the move away from Upton Park, have made a formal written request to the owners of the club for a full independently audited ballot of season ticket holders and members before putting forward a new bid to move from their current home in Upton Park to the Olympic stadium in Stratford.
WHU’s View was set up in the wake of the announcement by the OPLC on the 11th of October 2011 that West Ham United and Newham council’s joint bid to move to the new stadium had been unsuccessful and that a new bidding process was to take place.
When Mr Gold and Mr Sullivan took over our club, a key pledge made was to consult with the fans. We appreciate that the club remains in financial difficulties, we respect the fact that they have invested their own money and that any financial decision rests with them. However, we ask that the pledge to consult is honoured by way of polling before bidding.
We await a positive response from the club.

will you be boycotting matches if they don’t agree to consult?
That’s the only way to make yourselves heard, hit them in the pocket
I hope the West Ham board ignores this plea. West Ham need leadership for a change. The fans just constantly moan like old women and it is they that hold this club back. When are the fans ever right? look at the fan forums and listen to some of the terrible negative views of everything West Ham. Go ahead West Ham – ignore the fans and lead us towards bigger things. We may fail but at least we would have tried.
The 9th pledged was to move to the OS?? 10th was interaction with fans; So this would negate the need to ask the fans about it. We cant be competitive if we need to ask the fans about every single point. Theis a major point, granted, but also they laid their intentions bare on this subject so I do NOT see the need for consultation.
Also, why would we want to hit them in the pocket? That is effectively OUR pocket?! The owners took over a debt ridden club (and being human will make mistakes… Grant) but surely trust that they have the best of intentions rather than endorse this short-sighted negativity?? COYI
I prefer them to the skint billionaire and the biscuit man who handed out silly contracts…. Thats all, rant over
a quote I remember from Sullivan not long after taking over
“I will do what is right for West Ham and I don’t care who I upset in the process”
if you’re not gong to cost them money then I wioll personally guarantee they will ignore you
Should point out, that I do trust them, and think we have to move
Just pointing out to anyone trying to stop it that all the protests and meetings in the world will have precisely ZERO effect
we need the move,upton park has become a library,awful atmosphere,sports minister said olympic stadium will eventually be available to buy for tennats,so why would we want to stay
move forward its the only way, lets all get united and make west ham world renowned. coyi!
I feel that the board should carry on full speed to gain the Olympic Stadium if at all possible as it is a great oppertunity for our club.
Do not worry that we will not own it as this has not done Man City any harm and they still have naming rights so I do not see why we would not also get it.
Onwards and upwards COYI!!!
1st time on here, just read all the comments, what a bunch of no nothing idiots on here. Do your homework over the move, we will be 1 of many tennants, we won’t see a penny of naming rites, in 12 years the Boleyn money will be gone in rent. No chance of running track going.
