Blue is the colour?
The Daily Telegraph reports that West Ham are under fire for donating £12,500 to the Conservative Party through taking sponsors Betway out to a Tory fund-raising dinner. Local Labour MPs Mike Gapes and Jim Fitzpatrick have been quick to complain and it's surely important, particularly as we've just rented the Olympic Stadium from the government, to remain neutral as a club. If Karren Brady, David Sullivan and David Gold want to support the Conservative Party as individuals then that's fine, but please not with my season ticket money. Will the club now donate to the Labour Party as well? I expect some gratis Goodbye Boleyn mugs must be in the post for Jeremy Corbyn… and Robert's Green party might like something as well.

So based on your personal investment of one season ticket
as opposed to Gollivans how many millions ? you feel I should do what reimburse you?
And will I pay for Corbyn & Muddlibland the dream ticket.
Will I Hell.
And my season ticket! Although I am sick of some media taking ANY chance to hammer (geddit?) the club. We got a good deal, but there was no other premier club wanting the running track...get over it
Yes MJ it's not a large sum and media rather over-egging it (though would prefer they do it from their own money not the club's). We helped prevent the OS turning into a rusting monolith…
My point was that we must have fans of every political persuasion teddybard, so if you donate to any one party you'll inevitably annoy one faction or another and also inspire allegations of cronyism. Surely West Ham as a club don't need to donate to any party. No problem with individuals donating to whom they please.
