Minutes from Newham’s London Stadium Safety Advisory Group say West Ham will explore a singing section in Stratford by engaging with partners and other Premier League clubs that have successfully
implemented similar initiatives. The Met Police warned the group that implementing singing sections could present challenges for them.
The club have been keen to explore initiatives that could improve the atmosphere at the former Olympic stadium.
West Ham supporter group Ironworks Alliance (IWA) have been granted approval from the club to organise a fan-led crowd display (TIFO) at the London Stadium and have organised crowd funding initiatives to raise £3,000 for the crowd banner.
The target home game is Arsenal on Saturday, 30th November 2024, at present they have raised £2,375 of their £3,000 target
They are running a raffle in which a £5 donation gives you an opportunity to win prizes include a West Ham medium shirt signed by Jarrod Bowen.
They don’t want an atmosphere.
As soon as a section started getting known for being vocal next to the away supporters they built a wall to stop it and started throwing people out for standing and singing.
They want 55,000 corporate people there not making any fuss, spending their money on the extortionate food.
They don’t want noisy people.
The singing section should be the entire Billy Bonds stand
(East stand). The only part of the stadium with no gap between lower and upper section.
It’s something I have mentioned before that one end of the stadium should be converted to an area where fans can get behind the team with chants/singing or whatever. The comparison I made then was Dortmund’s “yellow wall”. It would certainly add more atmosphere in the stadium.
COYI ⚒️⚒️⚒️🥁
As said in the famous Coke advert “we’re West Ham… we dont sing!”
I can just imagine singing and chanting practice on a Thursday afternoon. A Church of England priest leading the chant ‘ Spurs are shit and Chelsea too and Arsenal screw you’ ..
This has been in the pipeline for a while and the singing section is already underway in the Bobby Moore Lower stand
Despite a small number of fans trying to encourage others to sing, it hasn’t really worked so far – especially when there’s not much to sing about on the pitch
Shouldn’t the club be financing these sort of things. What’s £3000. A footballer earns that in one hour.
The singing section has got to happen!
