West Ham have banned 13 fans from the London Stadium for life after a number of disturbances occurred in the Hammers' 4-2 loss to Watford.

Hammers fans were seen fighting among themselves and were also involved in clashes with stewards and Watford fans during their 4-2 defeat to the Hornets.

It is thought that some West Ham fans are disgruntled that they are being ordered to sit down while watching games, and are not allowed to stand like they did at Upton Park.

West Ham are currently allowed 57,000 fans at the London Stadium, but the capacity may be increased to 66,000 should West Ham comply with safety standards, which is why the club are urging their fans to remain seated.
