A West Ham United fan has made his feelings clear about the club’s owners to millions watching the PDC World Darts Championships.
The hugely popular annual event has been taking place at Alexandra Palace in London over the last week.
Millions tune into the coverage around the globe.
And eagle-eyed football fans would have spotted a message aimed at divisive West Ham owners David Sullivan, David Gold and their vice-chairman Karren Brady.
West Ham fan hits the bullseye
The televised darts events are famed for their witty signs and messages penned by the crowd.

And one West Ham fan attending the evening session on Friday used his sign to urge the owners to sell up.
“Gold, Sullivan, Brady out,” the sign read, emblazoned with a Hammers crest.
The sign gives an idea of the deep resentment from large sections of the West Ham fanbase towards the owners which has started to resurface this season.
Resentment bubbling to the surface and ready to erupt
The Hammers faithful are still angry with the owners over a string of broken promises made to encourage fans to embrace the idea of leaving their beloved Upton Park for the former Olympic Stadium in Stratford.
Everything from issues with the stadium to a failure to follow through with ambitious pledges to compete with the best in the transfer market have driven a wedge between the terraces and the boardroom.
Angry protests last year saw Sullivan and Gold step back from the limelight and vow to make changes.
But a paltry £25million net spend in the last two transfer windows has left Manuel Pellegrini’s squad woefully short.
Penny-pinching owners risking the wrath of loyal Hammers faithful
And it has showed on the pitch with the Chilean fighting to save his job after just two wins in the last 12 games.
Murmurings of discontent on social media and fans forums had begun to gather momentum over the last two months.
Some fans were planning a boycott for the home game against Leicester City on December 28th.
A win at Southampton last time out has lifted the gloom for now at least.
But the sign at the darts just goes to show how many fans are feeling towards the owners as they approach a decade at the helm in January.
