the supporters' club matchday bar is back!!
We are very pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with UCL to host our matchday bars at their brand new Marshgate building right next to the London Stadium!
This new partnership offers the Supporters' Club the chance of having a long term home going forward after a number of years where we have had to move venue several times. As well as indoor space, there is also plenty of outdoor space available to us to make the most of when weather permits.
Following licence approvals, we will be working with them over the summer to be ready to hold our first event at the beginning of the 2024/25 season.
The Supporters' Club Committee would like to thank all involved at UCL who have helped make this new venue available to us and we can't wait to welcome back our members and see the first pint poured in August!
the passing of her majesty queen elizabeth ii
The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is a deeply sad moment. She dedicated her life to serving the British people and Commonwealth, and in her 70 years of service, when our world has changed beyond recognition, she has been a constant.
Throughout her reign she served with dedication, dignity, and duty. On behalf of the Committee and Members of the West Ham United Supporters' Club we have sent a message of our sincere condolences to the Royal family as we mourn her passing.
As you may have heard, our match against Newcastle has been postponed as a mark of respect for Her Majesty so we will see you at the next home match on Saturday 1st October.
God Bless The Queen and God Save The King
FRED ANSELL
Everyone at the West Ham United Supporters' Club was very sad to hear of the recent passing of Supporters' Club stalwart Fred Ansell.
Fred, seen here presenting the Hammer of the Year trophy to Winston Reid in 2013 passed away aged 92.
We send our condolences to his wife Joan and all his family and friends.

West Ham United Independent Supporters’ Committee launched
We are pleased to be able to announce the launch of the new West Ham United Independent Supporters' Committee. The official ISC announcement is below or head over to our dedicated West Ham United ISC page for all the latest information on the ISC.
The representatives of 8 WHU supporters groups and the Club have established and agreed a memorandum of understanding, together with the required protocols, to facilitate the formation of the Independent Supporters Committee (ISC).
It is hoped that the ISC will quickly evolve into a vigorous forum to bring meaningful change for the mutual benefit of all supporters and the Club.
The ISC will immediately begin to identify the priorities of WHU supporters, to investigate resolution actions and establish action plans to implement changes for improvement.
We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with the Club to identify the opportunities for changes for the benefit of all WHU supporters.
This announcement is signed by: Any Old Irons (Don Adams), BAME Hammers (Lee Vehit), Bondholders (Steve Applebee), Disabled Supporters (Cathy Bayford), Hammers United (Andy McConnell), Pride of Irons (Jim Dolan), West Ham United Independent Supporters Association (Sue Watson) and West Ham United Supporters Club (Paul Christmas)
We would like to thank Ashley from The Football Supporters' Association for all his hard work in helping to bring the groups together and facilitating discussions with the West Ham United FC.
WHUSC Committee Member Paul Christmas said "The West Ham United Supporters Club looks forward to continue to work on behalf of our members with the ISC and the Club in the best interests of West Ham United as we have done since 1947"
Paul will represent the Supporters' Club on the ISC and an email detailing the agenda items for the first meeting with the club in early February will be sent out to members shortly. Paul asks for any issues or fan experience related comments and suggestions that would be appropriate for the new ISC to take forward with the football club to be raised.
The official announcement on the club's website can be found here and the FSA's here.

2019 AGM ANNOUNCED
The Committee invites all 2019/20 Members to our AGM that will be held at 1pm on Saturday 28th December 2019 upstairs at The Last Drop. All Members should have received an email with further information. If you didn't then please email membership@whusc.co.uk
28/08/19: Stour Space Matchday Bar is no more!
Despite continued attempts by the Committee to secure the on-going rental of Stour Space on match days, Stour Space's new management have unfortunately decided that as part of their new business model they do not want to close their venue for any private events going forward. This is not just in relation to our match day bar, they have also cancelled a number of other booked events including weddings. We have tried to reach a compromise arrangement to use their venue but they were only prepared to offer us use of the Mezzanine area to sell bottled beers only. Capacity would have been limited to around 40 members at a time on the Mezzanine and the downstairs draught beer bar would not have been available to us. I'm sure you understand that this would not be anywhere near a suitable situation for us so we will no longer be holding a match day bar at Stour Space unless their position changes. We have parted on amicable terms and have asked them to approach us if their offering changes.
Details of the venue for forthcoming matchday bars will be advised as soon as they are known.
For the Norwich game, Members can show their membership card to gain access to Forman's restaurant "Smoke & Bubbles Club" in Stour Road just a minute from Stour Space.
21/09/18: Match Day Bar returns to Stour Space
