Mass march planned against West Ham owners before Burnley. West Ham badge change demand confirmed.

[CaptainBlueAndClaret]

Hammers United have confirmed timings and the route on its official website and is calling on supporters to add their names to the 16,000 who have signed the petition against the ownership.

The group is also calling for the board to change the club’s badge back to just ‘West Ham United’, losing the controversial ‘London’ wording added by Brady when they moved from Upton Park to the London Stadium.

“Now For the good of the Club, the fans, the players, and everyone associated with West Ham United, the BS has to end,” Hammers United said in a statement.

“The No More BS campaign calls for BS to resign from their executive roles at West Ham United. It is within the gift of BS to do this. And it is incumbent of the remaining board of directors to appoint competent, professional replacements.

“Failure to act is not an option.
“On Saturday 8th November, thousands and thousands of West Ham fans, young and old alike, will come together as one to march from Stratford Station to the London Stadium where we will hand in the West Ham Fans’ petition calling for Brady and Sullivan to go.

“Saturday 8th November is the day that we, the Claret ‘n Blue Army, the voice and heartbeat of our Club, the loyal and long suffering fans who for decades have supported the team through thick and thin, take our greatest step on the journey to getting back what has always been ours: West Ham United Football Club.

“You’ll notice there’s no London in this name. We are West Ham United, and that’s what we want on our badge!“

Ahead of the march, we want as many West Ham fans as possible to sign the petition.”

West Ham Fans to March on London Stadium in Protest Against Sullivan and Brady
Gonzo | 15:30 05/11/25

Hammers United have announced the official route for their planned protest march ahead of Saturday’s game against Burnley.

The march will begin outside Stratford Station at 12:30pm sharp, finishing 45 minutes later at the Directors’ Entrance on Marshgate Lane.

While emotions are expected to run high, Hammers United have stressed that supporters remain fully behind Nuno Espirito Santo and the team, promising passionate vocal support once the game kicks off. 

“This Is About Getting Our Club Back”

HU co-founder Paul ‘Bubbles’ Colborne said:

“This is about getting our club back. We want David Sullivan and Karren Brady to resign their executive positions and put competent football people in place to run the club.”

The protest will be fully marshalled and has received official permission from the Metropolitan Police.

Bubbles added:“We need all the help we can get. This is a fight for the very survival of the club — and we might not get another chance.”

West Ham owners face new backlash as 10,000 supporters expected to attend protest march
7 Nov 2025
Give Me Sport

West Ham fans will drive a hearse to London Stadium on Saturday to protest at the ownership they claim is ‘killing’ their club.  A march against chairman David Sullivan and vice-chairperson Karren Brady is expected to attract around 10,000 people in what demonstrators hope will be the biggest show of strength yet.

The funeral procession is designed to amplify the message that while supporters are backing the team to the hilt they will not rest until there is change at the top level of a club fighting for its Premier League life.  Action group Hammers United are leading the latest demo and insist they will carry on the fight regardless of results.

Spokesman Andy Payne told GIVEMESPORT:  “On our podcast this week everybody has been enjoying us winning again. But do they think that means West Ham is changing? On the pitch it doesn't matter. What matters is what’s off the pitch. What matters is the direction of the club.”

“There's already a protest planned for the Liverpool game at the end of the month. Saturday's march, where we're expecting at least 10,000, is going to be pretty epic. We'll come out of Stratford Station and along the main road. We've got a hearse. We've got a coffin.”

The haphazard transfer policy and carousel of changing managers - three in 2025 alone - has generated a feeling of uncertainty.  But West Ham’s vast London Stadium home - the former Olympic Stadium - is at the heart of the civil war. It has been widely derided as the worst ground in the Premier League with its lack of atmosphere, distance from the pitch and temporary stands.

Payne has broken his ankle but will be at the forefront of the march being pushed in a wheelchair to add even more colour to what the protagonists want to be a ‘carnival’ type protest with accompanying music as well as a funeral car.  With that in mind a reworking of The Jam’s ‘Town Called Malice’ hit single has been produced entitled ‘Ground Called Malice’ in a clear dig at the much-maligned London Stadium.

Payne said: “When people say to me ‘why weren't you all protesting when we moved from Upton Park to London Stadium?’ there is one simple answer.  It’s because we thought we would give it a chance. But it's had plenty of those. London Stadium is like a really s*** Lego model.”

“Where the designers at Lego, the best in the world, suddenly got it really badly wrong. And if you ever have the misfortune to sit in the upper tiers behind the goal, you’re going to look down and think what the hell is going on with this really weird tiered system?  Where I sit near the dugouts, you walk across a platform, and you look down and think 'that looks like scaffolding.'

“We've got a load of scaffolding in a stadium that looks vaguely impressive from the outside, but once you get inside it, and when you have to live in it as a season ticket holder as I do, it's like your Nan's house that never works properly. And you sort of think, ‘can we just get this sorted out?’

“We've got a hearse. We've got a coffin”;

[Keep dreaming]

17k on the petition is hopefully not a true representation of how the fans feel, got to admit I’m thinking that I’m in the minority of wanting them gone, SB will look at that number and think that they’re keeping 45k well happy 

Well I think it is.
At least 40k Fans today are gullible cunts

How can they argue that when they themselves stated their pultry engaged OS loaded questionnaire of less than 12,000 (of which only 85% apparently approved) was considered a comprehensive success (in their eyes)..

[Massive Attack]

I just noticed the petition has amassed over 17,000 signatures. Decent turn out to present to those wankers in power of the Club.

Remember, it was only 10,000 that agreed to a bullshit questionnaire commissioned by the Club in gauging the fanbases opinion on the catastrophic Stadium move, which they themselves declared was comprehensive. So this is a damning outcome reached in wanting them gone and will only grow as the time passes. 

[Sir Alf]

You’re rationale Ferret?  From where I sit, they seem to be presenting a compelling case for why change is needed. Well articulated, and thought out and well coordinated but most importantly a long term approach because its to a large extent a “war of attrition” with Sullivan and Brady. 

But Im open to another viewpoint .  Making a statement or expressing an opinion is fine even if most dont agree but what is the basis for it? Unless its a bit of mischievous “trolling” to feed the need to feel powerful by upsetting people and getting attention? Nah, posters on social media dont have psychological weaknesses like that surely ?

[Mad Ferret]

HU really are a fucking joke.

[Sir Alf]

That “West Ham London” badge is symbolic of the owners being “tone deaf” to fans and arguably it was part of Brady and Sullivan’s attempt to change the fan demographic which is essentially a big part of what these protests are about. Trying to whitewash the history and working class origins / identity of the club. The stadium, lying and gross incompetence overseeing the footballing side of the business are reasons alone to want them to step down from day to day running of tye club but the Brady led attempt to change the fanbase is unforgiveable.

I didn't see any half and half scarves but they were selling Newcastle and West Ham scarves maybe that's why you're confused.

[Come On You Irons]

At least thing good has come of it, I see there are no fucking half and half scarves anymore.

Er, what? There were shit loads of vendors flogging half an half scarves before the Newcastle game last week.

You must be going blind in your old age.

At least thing good has come of it, I see there are no fucking half and half scarves anymore.

[oioi]

It helps to get the worst kind of tourists in.

[Russ of the BML]

I always thought the whole point of the 'London' on the badge was to prick the ears of future sponsors and investors. But seeing as BS talk a good game but actually play with their eyes and ears shut, then there is no point to it. 

[Far Cough UKunt]

They don't give a shit about us, she's Arsenal and Sullivan is Cardiff that's why it matters not to them that we have London on the badge, the only person who was West Ham was Gold but he's gone now.

[Gary Strodders shank]

I will be joining up with this and hopefully from the start .

It will be interesting to see the numbers following on from last week and the palace turnout.

 

[Come On You Irons]

I'll be there. Hopefully big numbers will turn out for this one.
