Olympic Stadium demos planned

A group of Hammers fans are planning to stage a series of demonstrations against the board's plans to move the club to Stratford.

A new website - mywhufc.com - has been created to outline the group's reasons for opposing the move which, should West Ham's bid be accepted, will be completed in time for the start of the 2014/15 season.

As recently revealed in a KUMB.com poll (the results of which you can see here) the majority of supporters remain opposed to the move and it is hoped that the website will give fans the opportunity to express their reasons for opting to stay at the Boleyn Ground.

The main bone of contention is the club's plan to keep the stadium's running track in situ, meaning that supporters will be some considerable distance from the pitch with views akin to those at the new Wembley Stadium.

This is unacceptable to many fans who feel it is necessary for the stands to be as close to the field of play as possible.

It is also claimed that the club have failed to keep to their ten point pledge as revealed at the end of last season, in which it was stated that the club will 'listen to supporters'.

As of yet, the board have failed to respond to fans' fears regarding the move which will see the Boleyn Ground close after 106 years as West Ham's home.
