West Ham fan hit with ban after holding up ‘oversized’ anti-board banner
Supporter took ‘Time 2 Sell’ banner from under seat
West Ham say ban for regulations breach not content
West Ham have banned a season-ticket holder who held up a banner calling for the club’s owners to sell up. Joshua Wood said he was infuriated after receiving a letter accusing him of breaching ground regulations by taking from under his seat an oversized banner at last Saturday’s home game against Sunderland.
Protests have been held at many matches this season targeting David Sullivan, the largest shareholder, and Karren Brady, the vice-chair, and the anti-board sentiment was evident when a banner stating “Time 2 Sell – Name Your Price” was held up during the first half last weekend.
