West Ham co-owner Sullivan calls on fans to buy merchandise, fill stadium
West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has called on the club's armchair fans to get serious and support the Hammers.
The new co-chairman wants fans to buy merchandise and attend games.
Sullivan said: "We have a million supporters who probably haven't seen us play in the last ten years and I bet 950,000 of them haven't even bought any club merchandise.
"However, these million people would still highly regard themselves as West Ham fans. David Gold and I are typical of maybe a million Hammers fans. Other than when Birmingham maybe played West Ham, we never saw them in the last 20 years. But, still we regarded ourselves as West Ham fans.
"As our accounts published, the club is in a mess, but with the help of our million supporters, we will dig ourselves out of it.
"Within five to seven years I believe we can be a power in British and European football. We expect to make progress season on season until we become a great side again.
"We need the help now of our million armchair-supporters because we know they are just that - supporters.
"Come to a game before the end of the season, buy something from the club shops, visit our website or use a West Ham credit card. We need everyone to do something for the club we all love."

To David Sullivan & Mr Gold
We As Loyal Westham United FANS, would love to come and watch our beloved westham play, but with the entrance fee at between £60 - £70 Per adult to get in to watch for 90 mins or £850 + for a season tickect, it becomes a bit of a costly day out for one and all. We was a good club, know its all just money, and we do not see the football that us WEST HAM UNITED FANS love. As we say West ham till we die, and not unitl the money runs out, Westham United / Thames Iron works has been around as club since 1895 i don't think we are going any where.
