West Ham United fans may be a little bit happier with the London Stadium when they arrive for the crunch clash against Burnley tomorrow.
West Ham are a club in crisis on and off the pitch with fans angry at the board and even at each other’s throats over the on-off protest march which had been planned.
Much of the discontent at the Hammers stems from the move from their beloved Upton Park home to the former Olympic Stadium in Stratford.
Fans feel promises over the stadium have been broken with the distance from the pitch, retractable seating solution and general matchday experience the major bones of contention.
But supporters may feel more at home this weekend after the Hammers hierarchy installed four new giant displays about legendary captain Bobby Moore on the concourse.
It is part of the club’s efforts to mark the 25th anniversary of the passing of England World Cup winning captain Moore.
A series of exhibitions and events will pay tribute to the Hammers’ greatest-ever player and captain, who died after a battle with bowel cancer in February 1993, aged just 51.
One of the biggest complaints from supporters has been that the London Stadium feels cold, soulless, grey and does not feature enough of the club’s livery and the famous claret and blue.
But it is the four new Bobby Moore displays installed on the London Stadium concourse which comes as a direct attempt to appease supporters’ matchday experience.
The club is also asking fans to arrive early as a minute’s applause is being held during which supporters in the East Stand will be invited to create a mosaic in tribute to Moore.
