West Ham United had some teething problems at their new home last season, and will be expecting big improvements this term.
The Hammers have sold out their 52,000 season ticket allocation for the second consecutive season, and co-owner David Sullivan highlighted the club’s loyal fanbase as the foundation to their hopes of achieving success in the future, as quoted by the club’s official website.
West Ham struggled to adjust to the new surroundings of the London Stadium last season, and their poor home form proved to be a major contributing factor behind their underwhelming 11th placed finish in the Premier League table.
Slaven Bilic will be looking to make some high quality signings this month, in an effort to guide his side back towards the top end of the table, but he must ensure that he is targeting players with the specific attributes to suit his preferred style of play.

Sullivan, however, seems confident of his club’s chances over the coming years, praising their loyal fanbase for their continued support, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“West Ham United has the best supporters in the country who, time and time again, go above and beyond in their display of commitment and devotion to this club. We always harboured the belief and confidence that our fanbase was deserving of a bigger and better platform and, for the second consecutive season, we will have 52,000 season ticket holders backing Slaven’s side at every home game this season. The appetite to come and support West Ham United and pack out London Stadium is real, and the foundations for us to build on our stronger than ever.”
West Ham kick off their new campaign away at Manchester United on August 12th, before playing their first home fixture on Monday September 11th, when they welcome Huddersfield Town to the London Stadium.
And Hammers fans will be desperate for a better start than last season which saw them win only two home Premier League games up until the middle of December.
