CandH Exclusive: Irons told REAL reason for Vienna ban

CandH Exclusive by Hughie Southon

West Ham have discovered the REAL reason why they have been hit with an away ban on their supporters attending the away match against Rapid Vienna.

And it boils down to the activities of 150 fans who stormed the gates at Genk without tickets.

The Hammers had written to Uefa seeking reasons for the ban and what they could do about the situation but have had it made clear the penalties stand.

They were told that the reason lies with 150 supporters who stormed the gates at Genk and forced stewards to open them.

Uefa have made it clear that they intend to enforce the ban and it is now the case that if such trouble continues in the future all away support will be banned.

This now becomes a very sad day for the team, club and innocent REAL supporters.

They have killed it for everyone and there is no defence for their activities.
