West Ham Bans Half-and-Half Scarves for Tottenham Derby as Stadium Checks Tighten

The club says the restrictions are to keep home areas exclusively for West Ham supporters.

Overview

  • The measures apply to Saturday’s London Stadium match against Tottenham, with a 5.30pm kick-off on September 13 televised by Sky Sports.
  • Security will conduct extra turnstile checks, and any half-and-half scarves or other dual-club items will be confiscated without return.
  • The policy is intended to prevent away supporters gaining access to home sections and to reinforce segregation inside the ground.
  • Supporters have been asked to arrive early and be patient, with the club highlighting the 45 minutes before kick-off as the busiest period for entry.
  • Initial social-media reaction reported by local outlets included positive responses to the ban.
