West Ham United Supporters Club and their present tenants, UK Fitness Club, gave permission to display and submitted an application for planning permission to allow the installation to take place.
Hammers United helped buy the crest for £8,750 and has paid out £224 for planning permission They also paid £1350 for transportation, labour & scaffolding.
The crest has been in storage since 2016 and has now been restored with the help of volunteers.
The crest that is depicted appears to be circa-mid 1980’s, so would be a wonderful reminder to our historic past and a local reminder of the stadium which once stood close by.
