A Claret and Hugh poll on whether the Real West Ham Fans Action Group were right to cancel the planned march has split the fanbase.
Over 1,200 supporters took part in yesterday’s poll with almost 53.5% (645) saying RWHAG were wrong to cancel the march.
That means over 46.5% (561) believe RWHAG did the right thing in calling off the protest march after dialogue with the West Ham board and a promise that Islas fund receives a matched donation of £20,000 from the club.
Confusion remains whether a march will take place or not next Saturday before the Hammers game against Burnley under new organisers. WHUSIA along with other groups are in dialogue with Met Police and Newham council and a fresh application is required by tomorrow under a six-day rule. One possibility being suggested by Met police is a static demonstration by West Ham disgruntled supporters on the south lawn where the original RWHAG was due to finish.
The promise was investment in a team to match a 66,000 stadium with great views etc and moving towards the next level.
Reality 17/18 is smaller capacity with subuteo views and
SOLD Ayew, Sakho, Nordvelt, Fletcher, Randolph, Fonte, Valencia, Feghouli INCOME CIRCA £70M
PURCHASED Arnautovic, Chicharito, Hugill and Haksabanovic OUTGOINGS CIRCA £53M
How do you move forward with negative player investment.
The saviours of the club are charging higher than bank rate interest – no real money is invested the debt remains in loans to G and S instead to the bank.
Professional communication consists of pronouncements via Mr Sullivan,s sons and Karen in a tabloid rag.
Higher than bank rate?
Moan, moan, moan. Regardless of the capacity and sight lines, another 20,000 of us get to attend home games, which has to be a good thing. Over half the players sold were also bought, and loans such as Zaza and Mario should also count towards spend. Everton have spent £200m on supposedly better players and are still crap. Had we spent that much and done the same, wouldn’t you have had so much more to complain about? Social media’s a curse – every **** (including me) can have a say and thinks their view is the right one, but the only views that really count are those who make the big decisions – and that ain’t any of us.
All those players sold weren’t good enough, at the time of signing them they should have made us better, they didn’t so were sold. Is that the wrong thing to do?
What is this march going to achive apart from negative press? The board already know fans are pi$$ed off with them & why..
Maybe just make the supporters feel better to have there own personal say
