Should the Hammers be found guilty they could receive a heavy fine or even forced to play a game behind closed doors.
West Ham have been hit with an FA charge following the events at the match against Burnley last season.
A statement on the FA’s website declares: “West Ham United FC has been charged for failing to ensure that its spectators conducted themselves in an orderly fashion and that no spectators or unauthorised persons encroached onto the pitch during the Premier League match against Burnley FC on Saturday 10 March.”
The club has until Thursday 5 July to respond and ClaretandHugh understands they are ready to defend the charge.
Their defence is certain to be that the fault lies with the openers of the stadium who failed to provide adequate security during the March 10 invasion.
The club were able to recover enough from the incident to pull away from relegation and finish 13th but the FA have been investigating ever since.
Should the Hammers be found guilty they could receive a heavy fine or even forced to play a game behind closed doors.
