London Stadium 185, the security agency that oversaw shambolic scenes including four pitch invasions during West Ham’s 3-0 defeat against Burnley, will stay in charge of the London Stadium.
But LS185’s stewards will almost certainly be supported by police inside the stadium for the next home game against Southampton on March 31.
Sportsmail reported yesterday that West Ham want to take security measures out of the hands of LS185, who operate the stadium on a day-to-day basis and are responsible for matchday stewarding and safety.
Yet it is understood that LS185 began a 30-year agreement with the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC) in February 2015, meaning it is highly unlikely the security agency will relinquish control.
