West Ham United supporters group Hammers United have outlined plans for the next phase of their continued protests against the club's current ownership.

The group, whose recent anti-board march in Stratford attracted in the region of 8,000 supporters have revealed they will staging a 'Red Card Protest' beginning with the visit of Fulham to Stratford on 27 December.




And the new scheme will be combined with the current black balloon and flags protests which take place during every game, bar the recent visit of Liverpool and next week's clash with Aston Villa out of respect to Billy Bonds, who died at the end of November.

"We looked back to a previous generation of fans who had reason to stand up and protest against the club’s activities when the infamous Bond Scheme was launched in 1991," reads a statement released by Hammers United.

"Thousands of fans brought their own red cards into the Boleyn Ground and simply held them aloft so that the owners and directors could visibly see the strength of feeling among the fanbase. Long story short, the fans won the day and the Bond scheme was abandoned.

"Beginning with the Fulham match, we will be asking all fans to join in the 'No More BS Red Card Protest', where red cards will be held up facing the directors’ box 15 minutes after kick-off to symbolise Sullivan and Brady’s mismanagement of our club over the last 15 years.

"Hammers United will be handing out a limited number of red cards before the game, but we also encourage all fans to get their own from eBay or Amazon - for example, five sheets of red A4 card costs just £2.99 and can easily be cut into 20 A6 cards which you can share out.

"It will take a few games to get the cards out there and build momentum but we believe this will be successful and increase the pressure on Sullivan and Brady to stand down."
