Overview

• Hammers United called for a complete boycott of Monday night’s home game against Brentford, which is Nuno Espirito Santo’s first match at the London Stadium.
• The group says its campaign targets board leadership and not the new head coach, reiterating full support for Nuno and his staff.
• Nuno expressed hope that fans attend and challenged his squad to win supporters back through performances.
• West Ham promoted discounted tickets, including “kids for a quid” and select £15 seats, as Hammers United urged non-attendees not to relist their tickets on the club exchange.
• Organisers scheduled a sit-in on November 2 and a march on November 8 to submit a petition with more than 15,000 verified signatures, with turnout for the boycott hard to gauge on a televised Monday night during a poor run of one win in seven.
