THE toxic atmosphere at the London Stadium was the worst I have ever experienced at a West Ham United fixture on Saturday.

Hooligans invaded the pitch while chairman David Sullivan was struck by a coin as the club’s owners were targeted in the 3-0 defeat to Burnley.

Supporters have made their feelings towards Sullivan, David Gold and Karren Brady clear - the chairmen and vice-chairman are simply not wanted by numerous fans.

But bringing a Premier League clash to a halt is not the way to get your point across.

A march, which had been earmarked for Burnley’s visit to the capital, was postponed just over a week before the encounter but it may have been best for the club’s owners if it had have gone ahead.

Then it would have been less likely for hooligans to come on to the pitch and embarrass the club as they would have made their feelings known before the match.

I think as though the only way the supporters’ feelings will change is if the owners sell the club.

Fans feel they have been sold a dream that has not come to fruition and selling the club may be best for the owners, as well as the wellbeing of West Ham United.
