West Ham United’s players and fans have struggled to adapt to life in their new stadium.
West Ham have struggled in their new home
Speaking live on Sky Sports Now at 10:23 am on September 21st, Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol reported that West Ham’s owners have concocted a three-point plan to deal with the teething problems at the club’s new stadium.
The Hammers have started their 2016/17 campaign in truly dismal fashion, after being dumped out of the Europa League by so-called inferior opposition, and losing four of their opening five Premier League games.

There has been just as much trouble off of the pitch as there has been on it thus far, and the club’s hierarchy have devised a new plan to help with the continued problems in the stands at the London Stadium, and Solhekol relayed the details of the club’s new blueprint to help matters, as reported by Sky Sports:
“West Ham’s co-owners have announced a three point plan to solve the crowd problems at the club’s new stadium. There will be more effective segregation between home and away supporters. The stewarding will be significantly improved, and also, West Ham fans will be more appropriately grouped within the ground.”

Sunday’s home game against Southampton will provide more realistic feedback as to whether any of the proposed changes have been implemented already.
The atmosphere inside the Hammers’ new home has been growing increasingly more toxic as every game has passed, so something had to be done, and it must be pleasing for West Ham fans that the owners are taking the issue seriously.
