The missing 14,000 season ticket holders

Another Sunday 2 pm kick-off, another home loss and another David Moyes master class where thousands were missing despite the game being billed as sold out!

The official attendance was 62,459 just 41 short of the maximum 62,500 London Stadium capacity.

We all know the official figure is the number of tickets sold, not the number through the gate.

Based on previous freedom of information requests the actual number attending yesterday was around 48,500 some 14,000 less than advertised.

With 48,500 season ticket holders this season, up to 14,000 supporters with a season ticket decided not to turn up.

Tens of thousands more departed before the end of the game with West Ham losing 2-0 to Fulham.

West Ham are winless in their last four home games in the Premier League (D3 L1), their longest run within the same campaign since October-December 2019 under Manuel Pellegrini (six games).

West Ham has also conceded the opening goal in 10 Premier League matches in 2024; the joint-most of any side, alongside Luton. Indeed, they’ve not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 13 league games – their longest run without one since July 2020 (14).

Many season ticket holders are voting with their feet!  Season ticket holders say they listed their tickets on ticket exchange but there was little interest and most remained unsold.
