West Ham United has long been an integral part of the community, heritage, soul and fabric of East London and much of Essex.
Our fans have a reputation for loyalty, and pride in our traditions.
We have faced many struggles over the years and we have always stood tall in the face of adversity.
But right now our very existence is under threat –
it’s not “on the horizon” and it’s not “coming down the line”…
It’s here with us right now!
This is not hyperbole, so be in no doubt – our traditional support is haemorrhaging !
Many thousands of time served West Ham fans have already walked away, and more are joining them.
If this continues unabated, the ramifications for the Club we all love will be catastrophic.
It’s happening on our watch and we simply cannot stand by and do nothing.
We owe it not only to ourselves but to those who came before us, and our children and grandchildren who, if the natural order is to be preserved, should be coming after us.
We know it’s only to be expected that some fans will stop attending games and for a variety of different reasons, but the sheer number of fans who have given up their season tickets over the last 9 years raises the suspicion that there is one common denominator – dissatisfaction with the matchday experience at the London Stadium.
Everyone, including the Club, knows that the London Stadium leaves a lot to be desired, and on so many fronts.
We also know that there are varied and differing opinions on how to improve things.
The Survey
Our task is to gather the views, opinions and suggestions from the fan base, present these to the Club, and then work together towards making real and worthwhile improvements to the matchday experience, which we hope will stop more fans from walking away, and convince a sizeable number of those fans who no longer attend games to come back.
So with the support of other fans’ groups and the West Ham Social media world, we have worked together to produce a survey aimed at (ideally match going) fans to see what changes they want at the London Stadium.
The survey will be completely independent from the Club and will be hosted by the FSA.
Let’s Hit 6000
Our target is to get at least 6,000 replies – this would then be seen as a genuine representation of the thoughts and feelings of West Ham fans, and will provide a mandate for the fans’ groups to make recommendations to the Club.
It is only with your help and support that the damage being done to our fan base can be reversed.
So please take a couple of minutes of your time to complete this survey which is live now at the link below …
