For the record - the @WestHam FAB - every single member worked so hard to make this happen. Club and supporter representatives together. And we did it for every single West Ham fan. United We Stand.
West Ham have confirmed that Season Ticket prices will be frozen at the current rate for the Men's and Women's teams, as well as Club London Membership for the 2025/26 campaign.
The Club have also confirmed that existing Season Ticket Holders will be once again able to renew their concessionary discount, at the current rate.
Significantly, for the 2025/26 campaign, the Club has expanded the areas where concessionary tickets are available for new Season Ticket Holders, with discounts available in all general admission Bands 1-6. This means any supporters joining from the Season Ticket Waiting List will be able to access concessionary discounts at the same level as existing supporters for 2025/26.
Enjoyed that despite the result. A threadbare squad competed throughout and on another day with another referee would have got something out of that. ‘Graham Potter’s claret and blue army’ the end too 😍⚒️
Great point for West Ham and a fantastic second half performance. Imagine what Potter might be able to do with actual attackers and centre backs 😂
And so it's come to pass. A return to a structure where the role responsible for a long-term strategy (recruitment) effectively answers to a short term appointment (the manager), and the owner does whatever he wants regardless. West Ham are *so* back!

Whatever your views on Steidten, he checked and balanced Sullivan, and was a move away from the expensive boom-and-bust cycles centred around individual managers. No matter how good Mcaulay might be, him replacing Tim would be a return to that outmoded and inefficient structure
Now we're getting somewhere: Guilherme's signing directly attributed to failing to sign Duran in the summer.
Call my a cynic but this is smacks of Sullivan laying the groundwork for Steidten's now inevitable departure ("It was all the German's fault we ain't got no striker!").
Irked by the narrative Fulham 'gifted' us goals - we forced those 'ridiculous' errors. You can clearly see the press being triggered, and Alvarez causing Pereira's pass. Would be hailed as brilliant tactics if eg Liverpool did it.
Also, Soler's first-time finish is incredible.
Ridiculous bid for Duran destined to fail
Ridiculous attempt to sign Rashford on loan
Linked with a French striker accused of beating up a woman and expelled from school for sexual misconduct
Tell me David Sullivan is back in charge of transfers without telling me… etc etc
Tbf, Dec’s use of the double negative suggests he *does* want to have a career where he wins nothing, so it all makes sense now
Irrationally excited to be going to Villa Park tonight. Obviously Potter has had no time to affect anything, but it feels like a sense of optimism has returned to West Ham that has been missing for months. Not really expecting a result, but am hoping it's the start of a wild ride
My learned colleague @SamWallaceTel telling it like it is.
FWIW, I believe Sullivan's intentions are largely good. I think he wants West Ham to succeed, and more importantly wants to be seen as the man to bring that success.
Problem is he just doesn't know how to do it...
Can the London club ever find true success when David Sullivan keeps listening to the same old voices?

Sorry @GuillemBalague but I went to 15 of his 20 league games and enjoyed about an hour in total. Admittedly I wasn’t at Newcastle, but for the vast majority of the others I couldn’t detect any style at all. And the players largely looked like they had no clue either 🤷♂️
"European football was never the target. The target was to change the style of the team." 🗣️
@GuillemBalague on Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham departure.

Interesting and illuminating interview with Graham Potter by @Matt_Law_DT from September last year.
This has the potential to be a really positive long-term appointment for West Ham (with the usual caveats about the people actually running the club).

Always hoped that Lopetegui would turn things around but this is the right decision for the football club following a period where the team has looked tactically disorganised, physically slow and generally poorly adapted to the competitiveness and intensity of the Premier League.
