West Ham fans have rallied after a plea from David Moyes as the huge Euro clash against Olympiacos edges closer to a sell-out.
Most West Ham fans are still justifiably basking in the glory of being European champions.
Hammers supporters have loved every minute of their European adventures over the last two seasons.
And on Thursday night West Ham face a huge game against a big European side in Olympiacos that will go a long way to deciding if they can secure knockout European football for a third season in a row.
So is it understandable that many have been left scratching their heads at the fact the London Stadium had not sold out for the crunch Europa League clash.
On Sunday night we reported that around 8,500 tickets remained unsold for West Ham’s clash with Olympiacos.
West Ham fans rally after Moyes plea
On Tuesday we brought you an update with just under 8,000 seats still empty ahead of the game.
But West Ham fans have rallied after a David Moyes plea as the huge Euro clash against Olympiacos edges closer to a sell-out.
In his pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Hammers boss Moyes laid down the gauntlet to the club’s fans.
The Scot remarked how hostile the atmosphere was for West Ham when they lost in the reverse fixture over in Greece two weeks ago.

And he called on West Ham fans to generate their own special atmosphere under the lights.
At that stage there were still well over 7,000 tickets unsold.
But overnight more than 3,500 tickets have been snapped up with just 4,000 left ahead of the 8pm kick-off.
Most of the remaining tickets are in the upper tiers and priced between £15-25.
The game is now expected to be close to selling out with – at the time of writing – nine hours until kick-off.
So it looks like West Ham fans have taken up Moyes’ challenge.
Let’s hope the Hammers produce a performance on the pitch and the fans generate another night like Sevilla off it.
Come On You Irons.
