A confidant of majority owner David Sullivan has made an extraordinary claim about West Ham breaking a club record.
West Ham supporters have not been too happy with their club this week.
The Hammers have announced season ticket renewal prices for the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.
And there has been anger among many West Ham fans about price hikes in several Bands.
Season ticket prices at the London Stadium for next term have risen by around seven per cent on average.
Bands one to four have gone up by over six per cent while Bands five and six are up 10 per cent and over 11 per cent respectively.
West Ham have broken club record claims confidant
Season ticket holders received their information by email on Wednesday. And the renewal deadline has been set at Monday 3 June.
Many have vented their fury at the the owners over the rises.
Supporters group Hammers United has lambasted the club over the price hikes.
Speaking to Hammers News, a top board source defended the pricing structure.
Now a David Sullivan confidant has made an extraordinary claim about West Ham breaking a club record.
Day one season ticket sales surged despite fan fury
Sean Whetstone has claimed on Claret and Hugh that a West Ham insider has told him the club has set a new record for day one season ticket renewals.
“Our season tickets really are too cheap, If we were starting afresh tomorrow our season tickets would be 50/75% higher and there would only be concessions in Band 6…” the source told Whetstone.
“Most supporters realise how cheap they are! Our day one renewals this week were at a record level.”
That’s some claim against the backdrop of the furore which greeted the renewal announcement.
Whether all the existing 48,000 plus season ticket holders renew come June 3rd remains to be seen.
But how many of West Ham’s 48k will renew by June 3rd?
Many fans have called for clarity over who West Ham’s manager will be before renewing with David Moyes’ future undecided at present.
Speaking to Hammers News, the top club source reiterated the plan on that front.
“The managerial situation will be resolved at the end of the season,” the source said.
“We have tough fixtures coming up in both league and cup, but they will decide our season.”
That starts against Newcastle before the visit of rivals Spurs to the London Stadium on Tuesday night.
