According to various media outlets, some who can spell and some who cannot, West Ham United believe they have found a resolution to the segregation of fans issue by adding a further three rows of vacant seating to enhance security. Yes, that is three additional rows will be manned by well meaning but hopelessly under trained stadium staff, that's it? The only barriers between opposing fans are less than a metre and a half high and could be vaulted, to be politically correct, by a person of diminished stature!

The groundswell of opinion among fans and the massively negative press that followed the 2-4 defeat to Watford at the London Stadium has, as expected, invoked an immediate response from the club with the blame for events being firmly placed on the stadium management and particularly on the security company they use. The 'robust' response on the club's official website is as follows:

From the beginning of the season It was only to be expected that there would be more than a fair share of media coverage given to any negativity with regards to West Ham United's tenure of the London Stadium, given the jealousy surrounding and muck raking involved in the decision process to appoint Hammers as the anchor tenancy, despite it being the only realistic option to avoid having a 'white elephant' stadium as has happened in other host countries.
