Noble calls for fans to calm down

noble-726-june-29West Ham captain Mark Noble has pre-recorded a message to fans on Sky Sports appealing for calm amongst fans at the London Stadium today.

The midfielder told Sky: “It’s a fantastic stadium but first and foremost we need to sort out the differences among ourselves there, with the fans and the club. The board are doing everything they can to sort this out. We don’t want fans coming there with the hump. We want them to support us, not worry about other stuff.”

“You think about young kids seeing what’s been going on and it isn’t right. 

“But if someone pays good money for a seat and wants to stand up and cheer, and then has an 18-year-old steward telling him to sit down – you ask any West Ham fan what they’re going to say, it isn’t going to be nice.

“If a family of five go and they’ve got three children, we need them. But we also need the geezer sitting in front of them who wants to stand up and sing. That’s the problem, the kids can’t see.

“People are getting upset but we need to come together and something needs to be done.”

“It’s 100 per cent different, Upton Park was my home ground, and it’s like when we go to places like Stoke and Everton and the fans are on top of you and you really feel the atmosphere.”

“That’s what we had at Upton Park. Other players always told us it was a tough place to play and we didn’t lose there last season from August until May.

“But it is what it is and we have to move on. We need to make the London Stadium a fortress.”

  1. We will calm down when the performance improves ,, not before .

  2. The arguing & fightng between fans over sitting/standing has nothing to do with performances Kevin.So you suggest it should carry on until the team starts winning.Stupid comment…
