West Ham fans press ahead with planned protest march

West Ham fans will press ahead with a planned protest against the running of the club.

The protest, organised by the Real West Ham Fans Action Group, will take place on Saturday March 10 before West Ham meet Burnley in the Premier League. It will start at Stratford Park and finish near the London Stadium, the source of much of the discontent among a section of the club's fans.

West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady met 15 fans from various supporters' factions at the stadium on Monday, reports the London Evening Standard.

Among the grievances aired by the fans were stewarding problems following the move from the club's former home, the Boleyn Ground; changes to the club's badge and the lack of visible signs of West Ham's history inside the stadium.

Neither co-owners David Sullivan or David Gold attended the meeting but the club have said they will consider the points raised and have promised to return to the group with suggestions and solutions which, they hope, will improve unity.
