ABOUT HAMMERS NEWS
Hammers News aims to be the number one website worldwide for news, opinion, and reaction on all things West Ham. Part of the GRV Media Group since 2018, Hammers News provides daily coverage of the Irons.
Visited by more than 2.5 million monthly readers – a number that continues to rise – Hammers News also has one of the most active and engaging Facebook pages in the West Ham landscape.
Writers Damien Lucas and Antony Martin aim to get to the latest transfer, injury and academy news, training ground updates, press conferences and big boardroom calls before everyone else. Damien and Antony have both seen it all as West Ham fans – apart from their beloved club lift a trophy of course! From Billy Bonds on to the likes of Harry Redknapp, Alan Curbishley, Slaven Bilic and now David Moyes – they’ve never had it easy supporting the Hammers, but they wouldn’t swap the journey for anything. Season ticket holders since 1991, Damien and Antony are clearly gluttons for punishment but being part of the West Ham family is what makes supporting the club so special. It’s what being a Hammers fan is all about.
Hammers News is your one stop shop for all things West Ham related.
Hammers News is part of a leading independent network of websites including HITC, TBR Football, United in Focus and Reality Titbit. Together, we are part of UK-based publisher and tech company GRV Media. Discover more about our brands page on our own company website.

OUR VALUES
OUR VISITORS
Like all digital publishers, we want to grow our audience, keep them engaged and entertained, and to fund our operations effectively through advertising.
We pride ourselves on the speed, accuracy and quality of the content we publish, across a wide range of topics. We are also proud to do this in ways which we think are right and decent – we do not, for example, seek clicks by publishing stories about celebrities which are unkind or hurtful.
We unequivocally do not carry advertising which promotes gambling. During the last 20+ years, GRV Media has been repeatedly approached about running gambling ads, and we have chosen to decline every time, believing this is right thing to do for our website visitors.
OUR TEAM
At the core of the business is our team of around 90 talented journalists, who are valued and nurtured and whose individual contributions are celebrated. We operate in a fast paced environment, with ever changing commercial pressures. We value long term relationships with our editorial teams, meaning that 100% of our writers are fully employees of GRV, with associated rights and benefits. We believe this also maintains a higher standard of accountability and integrity journalistically, which is increasingly unusual in the freelance culture so often prevalent in digital publishing.
OUR PARTNERS
We believe in treating all our contractors, clients and partners with respect. Above all, transparency and honesty are at the heart of our processes and communication. Our publisher clients can be sure that we operate in an open manner, without the smoke and mirrors often associated with advertising technology. We are also proud to have been amongst the first ad platforms to offer a near real-time dashboard and prompt net 30 days payment terms.
