West Ham will attempt to call a truce with disgruntled West Ham fans until the summer on the grounds that little can be done to change things now and that the club, players and fans need to pull together to avoid a chance of relegation which would be devastating for everyone.
Mark Noble himself said after Saturday’s protest in the stadium “I’m really hoping the fans have got it off their chest. They are a true, honest and passionate bunch of people” while Sir Trevor Brooking urged unhappy fans to stay away from the remaining five home games at the London Stadium.
Different West Ham groups are planning different protests with a static demo, reinstatement of a march and boycotting a game all being mooted.
We ask a very simple question today in our Claret and Hugh poll. Should supporters call a temporary truce with the West Ham board until the summer for the good of the club to avoid relegation?

The vast majority of us real supporters don’t need one
Any one who wants to protest, please don’t go to the remaining games,
We don’t need your trouble, we need to support the team. You have had your say, the hole world has seen it.
Now its time for the supports to get behind the team.
There may be much to complain about, but the team’s predicament is of utmost importance. Nothing must be done which would jeopardise it’s performance. Let’s avoid relegation, & then we can begin the argument !
Protestors have already done a lot of damage to the way we are now seen all over the world. it will now be difficult to recruit players and sponsors to our club but please stay away from final games so the real real supporters can support the team and avoid relegation.
if u really think we are not going to be religated u better man then me we was religated on sat mate no getting away from it and only people to blame the OWNERS you cannot stay in the prem if u dont invest shop in the pound shop and u get ****
Spurs didn’t invest. Zero net spend in the summer I believe. If we get relegated – it will be the fault of the moaning fans.
The only thing as supporters that we can control is the way we act.
The small minority of fans acted in a shameful way at the weekend, they can blame the owners all they want. But in my eyes, their actions should not be covered up by laying the blame on the owners.
They was not the ones throwing coins, they was not the ones running on the pitch.
They will not be the ones who make the FA deduct points.
Every one who caused a disturbance inside the ground should to be banned, and they will deserve it. I hope they get banned, i don’t want them back. Every one sitting in my block feels the same way. they were all sicked by them.
Hammerjoe, you can see what sort of person you are by your attempt at posting on here, I can see you are probably easily led by the mob element that are trying to bring our club down.
lets get safe first (or the opposite 100% confirmed) – that is reasonable and sensible.
p.s. i voted twice on the poll coz i have access to 2 pc’s. perhaps for future poll’s a login should be required and only one vote for the sake of proper representation?
have u lot seen these poor excuse of a footballers on HOLIDAY liveing it up a reward for all there hard work now working very hard on the beach in the sun if i performed like that I wiould get the sack and dont tell me i am not a real fan S T Holder 30 odd years but I am fumeing Carroll playing on the beach but not good enough to play more then 7 matches a year on 80 k a year makes me sick Hart the useless **** as well my blood is boiling
Employees rights. You have to treat all employees equal. Some fans moan at anything and everything. They have gone for warm weather training. It doesn’t mean that they train 24 hours every day.
Protesters haven’t done damage the board have.Was any of you at the game saturday? We never looked like scoring.What kind of manager plays like that at home? Arnie up there on his own every one else miles away from him.Who can honestly say their happy with that dross every wee
That’s why ive not been posting so much now …there are plenty of well! Behaved fans who want the board out …and the club has been a mess for a good couple of years and this was always going to happen in thee end …so how anyone can blame the unhappy fans for the mess the c!ubs in is laughable… I’ve got no problem with the pro board people they are allowed thee opinions but that also goes the other way …so when you get insulted on here by a few people because you are anti board we’ll! Thats pathetic… Everyone is allowed there opinion and every fan is allowed to voice themselves if they atre not happy as lampard ian right and t.c says ..if we get relegated it has nothing to do with the fans at all its the way the club has been run for the last few year’s… 29mil net spend in 2 years ha ha ha I’ll think I’ll finish with that …IMO….
never looked like scoring? we could and probably should have been 2-0 up at half time.
well said claydon palying with out a striker and we have one of the best finiehers in world football on the bench does not make any sence to me Moyse sort it out
It’s an optimistic post, I think. Trouble is, its too late, the fans have had enough mainly of the way Sullivan is running the club, he appears to be out of his depth, the board moved the club to an inept stadium, if you read all of the balanced press coverage and watched last weekend Sunday supplement, there is support for the way the fans feel. leaving our disagreement till the end of the season will not change anything, the hatred being aimed the board members is too severe to be removed. Sullivan controlling another summer transfer window would be nothing short of a disaster, also I get the feeling a great many fans would take a relagtion , to show the board how poorly they have handled these last 2 seasons, it would be nice to kiss and make up, but too many broken promises in the end,cause a break up!
We are where we are because of 2 years of under investment in the team. We have struggled for all that time not just since people started talking about marches. We could have eased our problems in the last window but our wonderful board decided to strenghthen the bank balance rather than the team. This window left us weaker still.We are woefully short on quality and numbers with a lack of cover in key positions. The side is screaming out for a quality defensive midfielder but this has been ignored for at least 3 transfer widows. So to blame the protesters is very disingenuous. This situation was always going to happen. Unfortunately the only ones who didn’t see it coming were the very people who could have prevented it. The most worrying thing is that they still don’t recognise that they’ve done any wrong. COYI.
Spot on 66
Agree. But I also think that regardless of who is to blame, the supporters need to get behind the team for the rest of the season.
I am optimistic that the board have been given enough of a shock that they will try to sort things out in the summer window. If we stay up. Not so optimistic about that tbh.
I think a “cease fire” might be a better phrase than “truce.” The goal right now needs to be avoiding relegation, followed by a serious, honest effort to address the issues both in management and the roster in the off season.
Being from outside the UK, I am not exposed to nearly the same level of information about the outside issues for the club as those who are more local. But even from that perspective it’s clear that there is a real need for a reevaluation of the way this club operates.
I just feel that relegation would aggravate the entire situation, and make London Stadium even more of an albatross around the club’s neck.
Just my take. Still hoping for some positive outcomes in the balance of the season. COYI
How about the players put in some bleedin effort so we the customers as our illustrious owners call us now actually have something to get behind?
