West Ham United have announced that the club’s season ticket renewals are now open for the 2019-20 season, but the news hasn’t gone down all that well with some sections of the club’s fanbase.

The Hammers fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Premier League strugglers Cardiff City last time out, and some supporters aren’t pleased with such news being announced after a humbling loss.

Certain other elements of the announcement were also criticised by some of the Hammers faithful, such as the price and the deadline for applications being on 17 May, before the end of the season.

West Ham’s statement, published on their website, featured quotes by club captain Mark Noble, who deemed the future bright at the London Stadium under Manuel Pellegrini.

However, reaction to the Twitter post / video was met with some disapproval, one fan even suggesting he wouldn’t be renewing after 33 years of being a ST holder:

Can’t do it without you so we slap a price increase in there and you have to pay it within 2 months and less than a week after the season ends

@ExWHUemployee @DaveWalkerWHU @davidgold how can you justify a £150 increase on two under 16 season tickets. If I don’t renew I’ll be the world’s worst dad and if I do the Mrs will kick off as money is tight. Always one step forward and two back with our club

Misjudged this one massively West Ham. We were promised cheaper tickets and to compete for trophies…we have neither.

Don’t you mean “we can’t do it without you and the price increases”?

Really? I didn’t see anything very special on Saturday. Or away to Burnley. Or AFC Wimbledon. Or at home to Bournemouth or Wolves. And you want me to pay 9.4% more to fund a pitiful £25m transfer budget?

Absolute joke. In times of concern financially for so many, a business, operating in an industry where money is thrown around like confetti, passing on huge inflation busting price increases to loyal fans is a disgrace. 33 years and out for me I think.

@davidgold – you should be ashamed of these price rises. Just as many fans were beginning to give you the benefit of the doubt this is how you reward them. With the money the club gets from TV rights there really wasn’t any need to shaft the loyal fans. Disgraceful.

Does the transfer window open after the deadline by any chance?

I’m gutted, I love this club and have done my whole life. But as a working class man with a family to provide for means that the price increase for me means Iv got no option other than giving my ticket up. Goodbye hammers, Gona miss u ⚒

West Ham are currently ninth in the Premier League table but have lost 13 out of their 30 games so far, while also having been knocked out of the FA Cup at the hands of League One strugglers AFC Wimbledon.

Up next for Manuel Pellegrini’s side is a fixture against another league struggler, Huddersfield Town, at the London Stadium.
