'Sack the Board', chant travelling fans

Millions of Sky Sports subscribers were left in no doubt as to the depth of anti-Board feeling amongst West Ham United's travelling supporters tonight.

The small but vocal travelling contingent used the opportunity of a live TV game to share their views on the club's current administration who, having already overseen a relegation in their first year (2010/11) at West Ham could be on their way to a second with the team in desperate trouble once again at the foot of the Premier League.


Co-owners David Gold and David Sullivan, along with vice chair Karren Brady were pilloried throughout the game by fans, as flags bearing the famous '"lying, theiving cheats" line - as immortalised during the 1992 Bond protests - were hung from the stands.

Meanwhile the erection of one anti-Board flag, placed at the bottom of the away end and directly behind a goal led to a minor altercation between the fans and a steward, who is believed to have been employed by West Ham.


The steward - who has been spotted at the Olympic Stadium in recent weeks performing a similar task - attempted to remove the flag, which naturally led to an argument between the employee and a group of supporters. No arrests were however reported as a result, however at least two of West Ham's travelling contingent were ejected from the ground as a result.
