West Ham believe the new radio wavelengths which will allow police to operate within the London Stadium to be in place for the next Class A game – against Arsenal on December 3.
Much has been made of the inability to get things sorted out until December but a club source made it clear to ClaretamdHugh this evening (Wed) that there is no pressure on the situation.
He made it clear a police presence would only be brought in for Class A games and that the match against the Gunners, as the first of the season, gives the stadium time to sort the situation out.
He said: “We have been at the middle of a media circus over the last few days but all thse issues are being solved and we are processing them.
“We are increasing the rows of seats left empty for segregation from three to six and have also started a process whereby fan can contact the ticket office if they want a seat which suits them better.
Some have already taken advantage of that and we are doing our best to accommodate people.”
So they finally agree that it needs addressing. Shame it’s taken so long. What happens if there’s aggro before then?
If there is a aggro before then Mooro then make sure you get the first punch in & don’t spill any beer.Its that simple
I’m at a bit of a loss to understand this Airwave business – you’d imagine if there was an incident at the Olympic Stadium requiring the Police, Fire Brigade or Ambulance Service they would require Airwave for their comms to work – surely that would be a pre-requisite of getting a Safety Licence!
Surely, Newham Council or whoever grants these licences wouldn’t ignore their own requirements – all a bit fishy don’t you think?
They could just go new school and give the police mobiles…
Cockney common sense Rick.
