Socios faces up hill struggle

West Ham’s fan token partner Socios will face an uphill struggle to get traction with West Ham supporters if a Claret and Hugh poll is anything to go by.

With 1,178 C&H readers voting in Sunday’s poll nearly 97% (1,139) said they have no intention of using the platform even if it is free. Just over 3% (39) said they plan to use the new application.

The partnership announced in April has caused much controversy with a number of West Ham social media accounts and websites have come out in opposition to Socios with the tag line of ‘Don’t Pay to have your say’

Over the weekend WHUISA raised an emergency motion at the FSA AGM requesting that West Ham and Socios suspend their launch.

Last week Socios announced they will give away tokens to 50,000 season ticket holders and up to 30,000 Claret members. More tokens will be given away in an augmented reality treasure hunt on their app. They say further tokens will be priced at £1 with a maximum of 50 being owned by anyone supporter.
