West Ham have confirmed they are exploring options to improve the match day experience at the London Stadium by bringing supporters closer to the action.
The lower tiers of the Sir Trevor Brooking and Bobby Moore stands – positioned behind the goalposts at their end of the pitch – could be moved forward by four meters as part of the new plans to create a more traditional aesthetic at the Hammers’ home ground.
West Ham have written to season ticket holders in those areas to inform them of the possible development having already presented the plans to a meeting of the West Ham Official Supporters’ Board.
Karren Brady, Vice Chairman of West Ham United, said: “Last year I re-stated the Club’s commitment to supporters that we were constantly working hard to continue to enhance the matchday experience at every level.
"My team and I have been working hard in the background with Stadium management, mindful that seating is something supporters wanted us to explore and we have listened.
“Following positive feedback on the initial concept we are pleased that we are now in a position to be able to move forward.
"As part of the process it is important, first and foremost, that we consult with fans currently in those stands on any proposals and have already started that process.
"The Club and Stadium are committed to working together to ensure we have a home that our fans deserve and can be proud of.”
