West Ham: London Stadium disorder prompts five-point security plan

West Ham moved to the London Stadium this summer after 112 years at the Boleyn Ground

West Ham have revealed a five-point security plan at the London Stadium after violence marred Wednesday's EFL Cup win over Chelsea.

Plans include widening the segregation line and issuing stewards with handheld video cameras.

Bottles, seats and coins were thrown as hundreds of fans clashed in the EFL Cup tie. Seven people were arrested, three of whom have been charged.

It was the latest outbreak of disorder at West Ham's new ground this season.

Hammers vice-chairwoman Karren Brady acknowledged in a letter outlining the security plan that it is the club's responsibility to put measures in place to prevent further violence.

The plan involves furthering segregation with new physical barriers and a 10-metre 'sterile' area, as well as new measures to keep rival fans apart after the game.

There will also be 'no tolerance' banning orders issued to those found guilty of offences ranging from abusive and offensive language to missile throwing.

West Ham have also confirmed the club's intention to ban all fans involved in the violence. The club is finalising the identification of 200 individuals.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said on Friday that he was "hurt" by the incidents, adding: "The club didn't deserve it, the players don't deserve it definitely, the fans didn't deserve it."

Damian Collins MP, the chairman of the select committee for culture, media and sport, told the Telegraph that West Ham "should face playing behind closed doors if they can't police the ground properly".
