Some of their fans are like babies "they don't know what they want but they want it now". I assume their beef is that the owners have not spent any money on the team.

It will be interesting to see what Trevor Brooking sorry I meant the FA do about the crowd trouble. Anyone expecting a points deduction or closing the ground is very optimistic.

I am amazed that trouble happened this was a demonstration announced weeks ago. Yet again West Ham don't seem prepared to pay for the appropriate policing and stewarding. No doubt that is all the fault of the taxpayer.

West Ham has called a meeting of all London Stadium stakeholders. Who are the stakeholders? The club, stewards and the police yes or are they trying to drag others such as the Olympic authority into their mess.

On the radio and TV their were the usual West Ham apologists "its a family club". What nonsense they are on a par with Millwall for thuggish behaviour the only difference is that they get away with it whilst Millwall get rightly pilloried.

One more point

This was serious, an ugly and unstable atmosphere throughout the match.

Not just a matter of an occasional looney on the pitch.

A hostile demonstration feet away from the directors while the game was proceeding, numerous incidents amongst the crowd who seemed to regard the game as an unnecessary interference to their protests.

No police and absent stewarding not for the first time, it isn't enough for West Ham that others, including us, pay their bills.

A disgrace to the memory of Bobby Moore.

We don't want anything like this at Selhurst Park this is a warning to us.

Thanks all for the update, I did read a few months that there is a pending inquiry as to where and why this move to the Olympic stadium has cost so much money and the extra £155 million of tax payers money has been either spent or unaccounted for.

I think it just boils down to that some of these so called fans just go to matches to cause trouble not really knowing what they are protesting about. I have always had this impression that West Ham fans have a very high opinion of themselves, and just like these moron Arsenal fans calling for Wenger's head.
West Ham have basically been given a new state of the art stadium at a greatly reduced rent price of £2.5 million a year ok some of the facilities are not up to scratch, but how many football clubs can say they have practically been given a new stadium.

Sometimes I really wonder if family are really worth it.
Because it doesn’t matter how time and affection you give
It’s never enough

Throwing coins at a 81 yr old is an absolute disgrace, protest yes, but that?

They should have the book thrown at them though given Brookings connections it is unlikely

I have always had a high regard for Trevor Brooking, but for him to say that he cant believe that West Ham fans can use that much aggression is burying his head in the sand.

Listening to 5 live - Arsenalesque senses of entitlement time and again.
