Everyone at West Ham United is looking forward to a memorable game against Tottenham Hotspur
Ahead of the visit of Tottenham Hotspur, Joint-Chairmen David Sullivan and David Gold have written to supporters...
Like every other game at the Boleyn Ground this season, Wednesday night’s fixture with Tottenham Hotspur has sold out weeks before the kick-off.
It is one of the reasons why this season we believe you have shown that you are the best supporters in the country. We took 7,200 fans to Blackburn Rovers and could have sold 10,000. We also received more than 50,000 calls in a day from supporters trying to buy one of our 9,000 allocation for the quarter-final at Manchester United, which is now totally sold out. And Season Ticket sales for our new Stadium continue to surpass all expectations and will be sold out within the next few months.
We are sure you will once again demonstrate why you are the best when our north London neighbours visit Upton Park for the last time.
It promises to be an extra special occasion, with two sets of passionate fans in a capacity crowd getting behind their team. Therefore it is vitally important that every West Ham United supporter attending the fixture remembers that they are acting as ambassadors for our Club and their behaviour should reflect the values and standards that we set.
At West Ham, we are rightly proud of our support for causes that promote tolerance and inclusion and tackle discrimination in whatever form it takes.
Therefore, any inappropriate behaviour is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the Club, whether it be in the stadium, the journey to or from the game or any other public place.
Working with the Metropolitan Police, the Club will continue to adopt a simple zero tolerance policy towards any form of anti-social or discriminatory behaviour and any fan found to be acting inappropriately - including racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic behaviour - will be punished to the full extent of the law and banned from attending future matches.
In the rare case that you do see or hear anything you think is unacceptable, there are a number of ways you can report the matter. Two of the easiest ways are to speak to your nearest steward or police officer or use the Boleyn Ground's anonymous fan phone number - 07860 404 069 - where all calls will be treated in the strictest of confidence.
We look forward to a special night under the lights. Let’s make sure it’s one to remember.
Come on you Irons!
