Since moving from its century-long home to the former London Olympic Stadium just 3 miles away in 2016, West Ham United have undergone a severe identity crisis that can not be papered over even by success on the pitch. Though not owned by global billionaires, the former Ironworkers’ club has seen large scale fan protests over the stadium move, the club’s identity, the owners’ approach to fans and the matchday experience. With Andy Payne from Hammers United, an 18,00-member strong fan advocacy group, we roll up this recent history - from toxic gamedays and pitch invasions to present-day challenges and the future of fan involvement in soccer.

If you enjoy this podcast and think that what I do fills a gap in soccer coverage that others would be interested in as well, please

  • Recommend The Assistant Professor of Football. Spreading the word, through word of mouth, truly does help.
  • Leave some rating stars at the podcast platform of your choice. There are so many sports podcasts out there, and only ratings make this project visible; only then can people who look for a different kind of take on European soccer actually find me.
