West Ham suspend multiple season tickets after London Stadium video goes viral

West Ham United have confirmed that they have suspended multiple season tickets after a video on social media involving Hammers supporters at the London Stadium went viral.

The video shows one supporter putting some white powder on the bald head of another supporter while smoking a cigarette. Then, another supporter snorts the powder off the bald man’s head, with multiple supporters shouting “Irons” after he does so.

West Ham have condemned the video, stressing that it goes against their zero-tolerance policy and that details of the offenders have been passed on to the police, as well as multiple season tickets being suspended pending a further investigation made by the club.

A club statement read: “The club is disgusted by the contents of the video and acted swiftly to identify the offenders.

"In line with our zero-tolerance approach, details of the offenders were immediately passed on to the police, and all individuals had their season tickets suspended and are therefore unable to enter London Stadium and travel with the club for away fixtures.

"Pending our own club investigation, this could lead to the offenders being banned indefinitely. There is no place for this kind of behaviour."
