Hammers fans continue to set the standard in the npower Championship - with an incredible 6,313 heading to Coventry City on Saturday week.
The claret and blue faithful have been impressive at the Boleyn Ground this season but their devotion has been particularly striking away from home. After helping Southampton and Brighton & Hove Albion to set record attendances, they then contributed to the biggest crowd of the campaign at Hull City last weekend.
That will all be surpassed by the thousands who will head to the Ricoh Arena to see if Big Sam's men can maintain the excellent run of form that has lifted them to second place. It will be the biggest travelling following for West Ham United since the 9 May 2004 trip to Wigan Athletic when 7,400 away fans were present.
Joint-Chairman David Sullivan hailed the support. "It's totally amazing," he told whufc.com. "I've never known such amazing away support so early in the season.
"The club is so proud of our travelling away supporters. Not only do they make a massive amount of noise, but they are impeccably well behaved. Every one of them is a true ambassador for the club."
With more than a month to go as well until the trip to Reading on Saturday 10 December, more than 70 per cent of the 4,200 allocation has already gone.
The away support is also mirrored by the Boleyn backing received by the team, with the Board keen to reward season ticket holders and also make family football affordable for all - although demand is naturally high for the special offers.
For example, the next Upton Park fixture against Derby is kids for a fiver, while the match is also free to Youth Academy members. Season ticket holders can apply for up to two extra tickets for friends and family with a ten per cent discount during an exclusive selling period. For all the Derby deals, click here.
With the team pushing for promotion, those who back the team now - especially with season tickets and the new half-season tickets can play a major part in the club's ambitions. There is also a special three-game Christmas bundle to act as a taster for the terrific half-season package available for what should be a thrilling run-in.
