David Gold has taken to Twitter to make a vow over West Ham United’s continued crowd trouble at the Olympic Stadium after ugly scenes against Chelsea.
The London Stadium move has been fraught with issues
The Hammers move to the 60,000 seater venue has been making the headlines this season but for all the wrong reasons.
Fighting among fans and rival supporters and general safety fears at the ground have been a major issue and reared its ugly head again in the EFL Cup win over rivals Chelsea last week.

The club finds itself at the centre of a new negative story each week with the spotlight firmly fixed over East London following the move into such an iconic ground.
There have been calls for West Ham to be evicted as tenants, reports from a police source claiming it is impossible to police and even a suggestion from an MP that the ground should be demolished.

“We will weather the storm and come out the other side stronger,” Gold vowed.
