Women at the Match

There are women of all ages who are passionate about West Ham. We think it’s time to give female supporters a voice and a platform to promote a more diverse fanbase. Consequently we are launching a female-run supporters group called Intrepid Irons. The concept has been in the making over the past twelve months after listening to women share their matchday experience at home games, away and online too. The aim of Intrepid irons is to improve the female matchday experience.

WHUST are developing a network for female fans to connect and share their West Ham experiences - both good and bad. In October we are planning a meetup with Fulham Lillies prior to the game but we hope to plan a range of other chances to meet up at both men’s and women’s fixtures this season.

WHUST board member Rachel McFetridge, and one of the co-founders of Intrepid Irons, said that the inspiration behind the nickname Intrepid Irons came from the fact that following West Ham is certainly an adventure.

WHUST hope that Intrepid Irons is the start of a new adventure for female West Ham fans. Follow us on Twitter @Intrepid_Irons and on Instagram @Intrepid_Irons
