PETITION - ST PRICE RISES & CONCESSION WITHDRAWALS
West Ham fans have started a petition against Season Ticket prices and changes to concession tickets.
No one should be under any illusions...
Our older fans are under attack. Our younger fans are under attack.
Our disabled fans are under attack.
Groups of families and friends are under attack. Affordable football is under attack.
All in the name of greed, all of which could be avoided.
We are asking all of our members to sign the petition - see the link below. Please note that you are NOT required to make a donation so if asked just decline this.

I'm sure that the Bobby Moore story below has been dismissed as fantasy one more than one occasion. That's not to say that Bobby Moore was treated properly by the club overall. He should have been the figurehead / ambassador for the club, maybe in a role similar to Mark Noble now.

Yet another Hammer speaks out against the attack on our concessions.

Hasn't David Cross spoken against this and been threatened with a retraction of his club privileges?

Tom's dad unfortunately it's very true and long before the current board took over
But credit to Sullivan he looked after Bobby Moore and gave him job at the Daily Porn

More in the Guardian on this stuff and with a link to the petition!
Brilliant work Hammers United
Off-field picture
Fans have mixed feelings about the summer spending and the current wage bill – Danny Ings is said to earn a weekly six-figure salary – against the backdrop of increased season-ticket prices (above inflation) and the withdrawal of some concessions for disabled fans, under 21s and under 18s, with some forced to move to more inaccessible and undesirable parts of the ground, splitting up families and friends. Supporters are angry and there is a petition opposed to the changes. Hammers United, an independent supporters group, said: “Our concessions are being taken away all for a few hundred thousand pounds a year and yet the owners are gaslighting us that unless fans pay more, the club will not be able to compete. Given that revenue from ticketing represents no more than 17% of all income, these changes represent a huge price rise for fans and a rounding error for the club, which has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.”

C&P from Redknapp’s book:
This day I was sitting in E block next to Frank’s mum, Hilda, when from behind me I heard, ‘Harry.’ I turned around and it was Bobby. We were about 15 minutes into the game. ‘Fancy a cup of tea at half-time?’ I said, and he gave me the thumbs-up.
Next thing I knew, a steward was marching up the steps towards him. ‘Excuse me, Bob’ - he looked almost ashamed - ‘it’s not me, but the secretary wants to know if you’ve got a ticket.’
Bob said he hadn’t. ‘Then I’m afraid I’ve been told to ask you to leave.’
And he went. Bobby Moore. The Bobby Moore. Thrown out of a half-empty stand at West Ham because he didn’t have a ticket. I don’t think he ever went back after that.

wd40 - But he's an ''ambassador'' and ''works'' for the club. Fella played for us 40 years ago and is getting in for nothing every week, all expenses? Not for me. Let him pay like the people he's supposedly sticking up for. Fat chance of that I suspect, but still. he's put a word in. Great.

''The West Ham Way ''?
Any chance we can stop using that stupid fucking pointless saying on every other thread.
Cross - watch most of his games and his part of our history but a free pass rest of his life? does that apply to all every single player who has ever put a hammers shirt on ? 600 ex players sitting in free seats and getting a nice meal thrown in plus a spare ticket for a partner-
who runs a business like that.
Feel free to donate but do be afraid ask to see the books for all them flags and banners brought .

Well done.
"these changes represent a huge price rise for fans and a rounding error for the club, which has a spending problem, not a revenue problem.”
That is a superb line.

oi Oi.Yes,we have a victory.The club ititially announced that as for Villa and Man City there would be no matchday ticket concessions against Chelsea.our campaign has let to them making a u turn and there will now be concessions at Chelsea match and every home game.This is a result,and a poke in the eye for those who couldnt be bothered saying we were wasting our time and the club would never budge,hopefully those people will now join us.However,there is no movement on season ticket concessions so we must step up the campaign

the petition got a good mention in todays 'The Guardian', it'll raise awareness & embarrass the Club... sometimes things hit home harder that a march etc., being mentioned in an 'international newspaper is one.
support the Petition, instead of questioning immediate outcomes.

Free loading? He's not even complaining about his own situation, he is complaining on behalf of the fans. I think you'll find he is working when he is at the club, as an ambassador, so he's putting that role in jeopardy by speaking up

David Cross has been free loading for all these years? Dear lord. Not a problem for me, let him pay like everybody else has to.
