West Ham fan group asks Sullivan to avoid home matches
Summary

The West Ham United Fan Advisory Board (FAB) has urged co-owner David Sullivan to refrain from attending home games. The concern stems from potential distractions and security risks following allegations of sexual misconduct, which Sullivan has denied. The FAB emphasized that his presence could provoke negative reactions and advised that the club should prevent his attendance to maintain a positive environment. Although Sullivan remains a significant shareholder, fans are apprehensive that his presence might reignite past tensions. West Ham's home campaign begins Saturday against Portsmouth in the EFL Cup.
