Flags welcomed to cover London Stadium

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.
