West Ham United’s new stadium is hardly popular with supporters.

Mark Noble has suggested in the London Evening Standard that West Ham United should consider changing the colour of the paint around the pitch at the London Stadium.

A major complaint about West Ham’s new ground from supporters is that they are sat so far away from the pitch.

And matters are not helped by the fact that the athletics track around the pitch has green covering on top of it.

Noble feels that the green paint makes the pitch look even bigger than it currently is.

And he said: “What I meant by change, for example, is that the London Stadium is our home now but it’s still not really in our own hands. If this was our stadium we wouldn’t have the pitch surround painted green. It makes the pitch so big so it would be another colour.”

Whether West Ham will take on board Noble’s suggestion for change remains to be seen.

The Hammers board do need to win back the trust of their supporters, after what has been a disappointing season.

West Ham have only narrowly avoided relegation, and will want to kick on next campaign.

The Hammers’ last game of the season comes on Sunday, when they take on Everton.
