Following feedback at Karren Brady’s meeting with key fan sites and bloggers last week which included Claret and Hugh, West Ham have announced that supporters will be able to apply for large flags to be displayed on match days at London Stadium.
The initiative is intended to demonstrate ongoing commitment to improve the matchday experience and ensure supporters feel at home in London Stadium.
London Stadium already allow supporters to bring flags into the stadium on a match by match basis provided they are no larger than 2m x 2m, however West Ham is now working with London Stadium to ensure that the stadium feels even more like home on matchdays.
To arrange to have your larger flag displayed, contact the club on supporterservices@westhamunited.co.uk at least 72 hours before the home match you are attending with the following information:
- A picture of the flag you wish to display
- The dimensions of the flag
- Confirmation it is manufactured to British Standard and is flame retardant
- Your season ticket seat number
Once it has been authorised by the Supporter Services team, fans can send their flags into the Club, or drop them off at the West Ham United Club Store, where club officials will safely store them before displaying them around the stadium bowl on matchdays.
The Club will endeavour to display as many flags as possible but the number and location in the stadium bowl will be at the discretion of the Club and Safety Officer.
*Stadium operator London Stadium 185’s policy states flags should not carry any discriminatory, racist or abusive language nor should they contain any element that may be considered or interpreted as inflammatory, offensive or with any overt political slogans. Flag poles are not permitted for health and safety reasons and certain restrictions may apply to ensure the health and safety of our supporters which is always our primary concern.
Claret and Hugh are planning to have a flag designed and made for inclusion at the London Stadium and current season ticket holders can design their own flags.
One website is who will help you design a flag online and produce flags between £45 and £500 is https://www.footballflags.co.uk/products/design-online.html
Glad to see this at last. Finally starting to feel like home. Those concrete plinths need covering. Does anyone know if there is any update on the flag for the East Stand?
The East stand flag is still being worked on but will cost tens of thousands
any info on how we can contribute towards the cost of the C&H / Hammers Chat flag?
Not a bad idea, I will talk to Hughie
Good news this and the club listening to the fans which is further good news. Thanks for bring us these updates Sean. I can see a time when the list of fans (reasonable) wishes are reduced to zero. Certainly getting the easy wins out of the way is the correct thing to do.
“Hughes & Seans Claret & Blue Army”
Lol. I’m in!
LOL
Ok ok ok ok I’ve got it;
“HUGHIE & SEAN’S CLARET & HUGH ARMY”
Add in a website and the Mooro logo and colour it in claret and blue and Bobs your uncle!
Get it up!!
The above link is very good for designs but if you want actual custom made flags, use http://www.barmyflags.co.uk as they are the best by a country mile.
The two c&b ones above are both from Barmies (and yes putting my Payet one upside down v Palace was intentional – it means disrespect!).
