UEFA Champions League Reform

Premier League Supporters groups oppose Champions League changes that will entrench the richest clubs; damage the English football pyramid; and rip off fans.

Our groups represent fans that support teams across the Premier League.

We are united in opposition to proposals to reform the Champions League that are a back door attempt to return to the discredited idea of a European Super League.

Football Stands Together

The thoughts and prayers of West Ham United Supporters’ Trust and the West Ham community are with the people of Ukraine as they resist the invasion of their country.
Many West Ham fans are descended from families who endured night after night of bombing raids during the Blitz.
That spirit lives on with the incredible resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of an enemy trying to bomb them into submission, as well as the bravery of ordinary people in Russia and Belarus taking massive risks to protest against war and their dictatorial leaders.

January (claret and) blues

January’s transfer window has closed. It’s yet another disaster in which West Ham United failed to sign a single player. I was shocked that we didn’t sign more players in the summer window, purely because we needed more squad depth if we were trying to compete in the Premier League, FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League. But to let another window pass by is just inexcusable.
