West Ham United is not a happy club right now, with Hammers fans mobilising against their current ownership.
Fans recently staged a boycott in the game against Brentford, with fans urged to stay away as the Hammers were beaten 2-0 by the Bees at the London Stadium
Supporters are protesting against the current regime and plan to continue to do so until chairman David Sullivan and vice-chair Karen Brady step down.
The feeling amongst the Hammers fans is that the club failed to build on its success of lifting the Europa Conference League trophy and has neglected to do anything to improve the matchday experience at the London Stadium, which was built for the 2012 Olympics and has often been touted as unsuitable for football.

West Ham fans to stage protest after Newcastle United match on Sunday
Newcastle United travel to West Ham on Sunday for a Premier League fixture with a 2 pm kick-off live on Sky Sports, and the Hammers fans are set to stage another protest, according to Claret and Hugh.
Rather than boycotting the game, this time, supporters’ groups Hammers United and Crossed Hammers are urging fans to stay in their seats after the game to stage a sit-in protest, with Hammers United founder Paul Colburn saying:
“West Ham are facing their biggest fight in 150 years. The future of the club is at stake.”

Good luck to the Hammers fans in their quest for change
Newcastle are no strangers to protesting the regime, having done it regularly under Mike Ashley, and the Magpies have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the Hammers recently to rally against the increasing cost of football.
This protest shouldn't really affect Newcastle fans too much on the day; if anything, it might make getting out of the London Stadium all the easier.
We wish the West Ham fans the best of luck in trying to enact changes, but we all know how stubborn these people can be.
