Why Are West Ham Fans Planning To Boycott Games?

West Ham supporters are boycotting the Brentford game as part of continued protests.

The letter read: “As you will no doubt be aware, prior to your arrival at the club, we launched the ‘No More BS’ campaign, which is calling for the resignations of Karren Brady and David Sullivan.

“This campaign was not aimed at your predecessors. It is not aimed at you and your team, and we would like to take this opportunity to make it absolutely clear that you have our full support.”

“The decision to hold a boycott was not taken lightly, but we believe that given the serious nature of the damage that will continue to be inflicted on our club while Ms Brady and Mr Sullivan remain in place, it is a necessary and justifiable step that must be taken,” continued the letter.

“We are already seeing signs that Ms Brady and Mr Sullivan are extremely worried, and that pressure is being brought to bear in a variety of different ways, as they attempt to entice fans to break ranks and attend the game.

“We expect this to escalate as the day of the game approaches, and we have no doubt that Ms Brady and Mr Sullivan would not hesitate to take any measures designed to disrupt the boycott, including those which would sow division among the fans, and division between the fans and the team.
