West Ham co-chairman responds to disenfranchised fan.
West Ham United fans leave
West Ham fans are unsettled after their move to the London Stadium, and many have not been shy about letting the club hierarchy know about it.
There have been rows between supporters in the stands with stewards, and even each other, and results on the pitch have not helped.

At the weekend West Ham lost 4-2 at home to Watford, and right now there is understandably sentiment among some fans preferring their old stadium, Upton Park.
Co-chairman David Gold has heard the frustration, being accused on Twitter last night of ‘selling the soul’ of the club, to move to the stadium at the Olympic Park.
Gold responded, urging the supporter to pull himself together.
The club are working hard to resolve disputed between fans and stewards, and will hope the issues which have arisen can simply been put down to teething problems, and will soon be ironed out.
It should not be forgotten that the team themselves must acclimatise to the ground, and playing on a pitch which appears bigger and lacks some of the intensity which Upton Park’s did.
Once results begin to improve, fan opinions will begin to do so too, but it may be a while until the new stadium really feels like home.
