West Ham need to 'get a grip' of safety issues, Mayor of London tells talkSPORT

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has told talkSPORT West Ham United need to "get a grip" of safety issues at the London Stadium following recent crowd trouble.

Supporters invaded the pitch, others threw coins at West Ham co-owner David Sullivan who was sitting in the stands, parents escorted their children out of the stadium and a police officer was allegedly assaulted during the team’s 3-0 defeat to Burnley on March 10.

Those angry at David Sullivan and David Gold feel fans have been let down by the move away from Upton Park, investment in the playing squad and subsequent results on the pitch.
