West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady says he went to the London Stadium this week to check that Hawk-eye is working ahead of West Ham’s game against Wolves today after the shambles last Wednesday when Sheffield United played Aston Villa.
Writing in her Sun Column Brady wrote: “I went to the stadium this week to check everything was ready and to speak to my ops team.
Other than the odd walk in the park or cycle ride, it was the first time I have literally had to go anywhere.
I asked if Hawk-Eye had been tested and was working after the debacle on Wednesday night when Sheffield United scored a clear-cut goal. Not only did Hawk-Eye technology miss it, but so did the referee, the linesman and VAR. And to think they say points are always earned and never given . . .
Anyway, I’m pleased to report that it does work.
In fact, everything works, everything is ready, everything is prepared.’
