A former criminologist called into talkSPORT on Monday and warned West Ham must take serious action to prevent further trouble at their new home.

The Premier League club's move to the London Stadium has proved to be problematic, with crowd disturbances reported at their last three matches.

And, according to listener Simon - an expert in crime prevention who used to lecture on football hooliganism - the violence will continue if the club and their landlords don’t introduce a strong police presence at the ground.
