West Ham alter seating plan following crowd trouble

After numerous incidents of crowd trouble at London Stadium, West Ham have altered their seating plan.

West Ham have made changes to their segregation plans following the crowd trouble that marred their EFL Cup victory over Chelsea.

London Stadium has been plagued by problems since West Ham moved to the former Olympic venue for the start of the 2016-17 season.

Following disturbances at matches against Watford and Middlesbrough, rival fans clashed in the ground as West Ham progressed to the quarter-finals in a 2-1 victory over Chelsea.

Amid calls for West Ham to take decisive action to prevent similar instances occurring in future, the club has altered the seating plan ahead of Saturday's home clash with Stoke.
