Why West Ham’s co-owner has been advised not to attend home matches

  • West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has been advised by London Stadium not to attend the club's home matches.
  • The recommendation follows allegations of historic sexual misconduct against Sullivan, which were reported by a joint investigation from BBC Panorama and The Times .
  • London Stadium cited the 'potential for demonstrations and anti-social behaviour by some spectators' as the reason for their advice.
  • Sullivan has categorically denied the allegations, describing them as 'factually incorrect and entirely false, decades-old allegations concerning my personal life'.
  • The Football Association has also banned Sullivan from having contact with West Ham’s women and youth teams for three years due to safeguarding concerns, which he refers to as a 'negotiated agreement'.
