In the interests of ensuring positive topics are discussed not just the same ole Sam updates (which I love) would just like to say wel done to West Ham for being the first to show some positive intent towards the fans in reducing ticket prices for the first season in the OS. Obviously the scandalous amount of money to be pumped into the Premier League via Sky cannot all go towards to owners/players/agents and disregard the fans as has been the norm for nigh on too long now so this 1st step is a long oversue move by a top football club and is really just the starter for 10 I hope. More needs to be done and hopefuly over the next year or so further benefits to the fans will be anounced but for now well done West Ham.
Quite right, credit where it
Quite right, credit where it's due. I'm especially pleased at the cheap family and under 16 season tickets. Well done G&S.
YEP! nice to hear giving
YEP! nice to hear giving something back to the fans!
Easier to do when there are
Easier to do when there are more bums on the seats but I am delighted for the fans that go every week to get some relief. As much as we all love Upton Park I think this move was needed to get us to a higher stage and the Management should be applauded for having the vision to do so.
Shrewd move by the board,55
Shrewd move by the board,55,000 seats to fill will be a lot easier,a great way to generate a larger fan base.

Agree Essex,a good ploy and got media on board to,but a good idea.
Yeah, but we are a business
Yeah, but we are a business and if it helps the clubs finances while allowing cheaper tickets, it's hard to see the down side. Just as long as they don't whack them back up in 2 or 3 years.

As a life long supporter who lives nearly 400 miles away and an academy member I hope I get a discount as well (along with other academy members) superb move by the club though especially for kids who are the next generation . I think this announcement makes it an almost certainty that we will have some major backers coming our way. A potential gold mine re advertising in Stadia and Match programmes. And no doubt the club shop will do well.
