A shock claim has been made that that “half the free tickets for West Ham United home matches distributed by Newham Council have gone to their own employees.”
The claim comes on kumb.com where a story alleges that “from a total of 5,970 tickets handed out thus far by the Council as part of their arrangement with West Ham, just 2,728 reached members of the local community – with the remaining 3,242 being allocated to employees of Newham Council .”
The site claims a source has told them that tickets which the council said would be used to reward residents for being active and resilient members of the community’ have been directed elsewhere.”
