Summary

West Ham Secures

West Ham announced that 50,000 fans have bought season tickets for 2026/27 despite relegation.
Joint-chair Daniel Kretínský, board member Jirí Švarc and recruitment director Nils Koppen presented a promotion vision in Prague and added Celtic and Rangers targets to the shortlist.
Recent sales generated funds for midfield, defence and attack.
Academy prospects Mohamadou Kanté, Ezra Mayers, George Earthy and Lewis Orford are among seven youngsters ready to step up.

History

Historical Context

In 1980, John Lyall’s West Ham United won the Second Division by a 13-point margin, losing only four league games and earning promotion after two seasons in the lower tier. That era’s fan loyalty—30,000 season tickets—mirrors today’s 50,000-ticket pledge supporting Jarrod Bowen’s contract renewal, showing how sustained supporter investment has long underpinned the club’s stability.
