West Ham have threatened to hand out lifetime bans to fans found guilty of damaging Liverpool’s bus after a window was smashed following their 2-0 win in London last week.
Police reported that a few fans had thrown objects at the team coach after the game.
A West Ham club statement read: “We condemn unreservedly the behaviour of the individuals at our match with Liverpool. That kind of behaviour has no place at West Ham and anyone found guilty of an offence will be banned for life.”
Two West Ham fans have been arrested for allegedly making homophobic gestures towards Brighton supporters during Saturday’s draw at the London Stadium. The Metropolitan police has confirmed the pair were released under investigation. “Two male West Ham fans were arrested on suspicion of making homophobic gestures,” a Metropolitan police spokesperson told BBC Sport. “One male (also a West Ham fan) was arrested on suspicion of common assault.”
“West Ham United is disgusted to hear of alleged homophobic incidents at the game against Brighton & Hove Albion,” said a West Ham spokesperson. “The matter is now with the police but anyone found guilty of acting in a discriminatory manner will be banned for life from London Stadium and from travelling with the club”
Yesterday he emerged that a known board protester who wore a ‘GSB OUT’ and had previously demonstrated outside David Sullivan’s Essex mansion has been banned for the remainder of the season.
Another season ticket holder published his banning letter on social media to say he had received a season long ban for finishing his pint of beer in his seat during the Crystal Palace match late last year.
What is a homophobic gesture exactly. I mean what does it look like? How will I know if I’m seeing a homophobic gesture or not? Can somebody please explain. Thank you.
