UPDATE 📣:

IWA are crowdfunding a tifo to begin our campaign in the championship, and for further banners and flags for the rest of the season.

We're excited for the season ahead. Let's back the team from the start and kick off with a bang.

Full details in the link. Any contributions you wish to give will be hugely appreciated.

@LazyJam Hornchurch are in the national league next season no?

[Ironworks Alliance @IWA1895]

Important dates for everyone to see..

If you are a season ticket holder and want to relocate to the atmosphere section, please consider relocating to blocks 142 - 147. To do this, you will need to renew by 1st June.

The aim is simple. Build a section full of likeminded fans who want to create noise, back the team for 90 minutes, get involved in crowd displays, and help get the team back into the prem where we belong.

New season tickets are usually released once renewals close. If you know an existing Season Ticket Holder, there is a priority window where they can purchase for you before the waiting list opens up.

And so it comes to pass that we are finally put out of our misery, on the last game of season, and perhaps worst of all, at the expense of Tottenham staying up.

Yes, it hurts. It's probably the worst feeling you can experience as a football fan. Some of us have been through it and out the other end, and for some of us this is the first time.

If there is one huge positive to come out of this utterly dreadful season, then without question, it is us, the fans. We have come a very, very long way since a small group of us got together in 2022. This year in particular, we have exploded into action, and none of it would have been possible without the commitment given and the belief shown by so many people in this group. Truly, thank you to everyone who has helped us to get to where we are.

We have brought friendships together.

We have shown some much needed community spirit.

We have created the pre-match concourse (which was absolutely insane today by the way).

We have self organised our fan-made flags, adding some character and visual atmosphere to the stadium.

We have funded and organised a tifo tribute to Ludo, one of our greatest West Ham heroes of all time.

We have trialled vocal sections in the ground.

And we won't be stopping here. In fact, we're just getting started.

As well as the positives of having no VAR, no tourists, less commerialism, winning more (hopefully), and a whole year without having to listen to Gary Neville, a season in the championship gives this group a huge opportunity to organise ourselves properly and become a permanent fixture in a stadium that so badly needs something.

Once the dust has settled, we will turn our attention towards planning for next season. We encourage anyone who wants to be surrounded by likeminded vocal fans to relocate to 142 - 147.

Again, thank you everyone for believing in the IWA project. Enjoy your summers, and the further World cup disappointment with England..

We build from the bottom, and rise to the top. ⚒️

TOTTENHAM LOSE AT CHELSEA AND INEVITABLE DOOM AND GLOOM TURNS INTO IT GOING DOWN TO THE FINAL DAY, WITH WEST HAM FACING AN INJURY HIT LEEDS AND SPURS SUCK AT HOME

DAVID WILLIAM MOYES, YOU MAGNIFICENT BEING, WE ARE BEGGING YOU SAVE US A THIRD TIME

[Ironworks Alliance @IWA1895]

To say that last weekend could not have gone any worse would be an understatement. That was an extremely painful few days. However, our determination to show our passion and support for the team will never change. We say.. it's not over until it's over.

We can confirm that we will be doing another flag display vs Arsenal in the BML on Sunday. This time, we will roll out a number of larger flags on top of the flags we already have. These represent our past and present, and help to illustrate who we are.. a club with a vibrant culture, a rich history and a passionate fan base. The claret and blue army have always been the heart and soul of this football club.. something that must
never be forgotten, and something that will never change, no matter what happens.

Our flag displays have been incredibly well received on the whole, and while of course we know they're not *everybody's* cup of tea, we do get a massive amount of praise and positive feedback from our fans. Even if we can make the smallest of differences to lots of people, our job is done. Everything we do is done by the fans, for the fans. Fan funded. Fan designed. Fan organised.

More twists and turns are to come. Nuno and the players will surely continue to believe that they will get the results needed to keep us up. We have to match that belief, starting on Sunday, and get behind the boys like never before. We have survived against greater odds. Just ask Carlos Tevez..

Chins up. Chests out. We go until the end. "West Ham 'til I die".

See you in the concourse and then in the stands.

🚨 West Ham chairman David Sullivan's anonymity order has been vacated.

That means he can be named as the Premier League Club owner under investigation for rape, child sexual exploitation and sexual assault

UPDATE! 📣

Following the successful and very well received flag display in the FA cup game vs Leeds, we're excited to announce that we will be DOUBLING the number of flags for the Everton game on Saturday, and expanding the display area to over half of the Bobby Moore Lower stand.

Another small step forward. We are determined to continue growing, to lift spirits, put smiles on faces and improve the atmosphere.

Everything we do is fan funded, designed and organised, and wouldnt be possible without our dedicated members and donations from our incredible fan base.

Tomorrow is gigantic. Three points is a must. Let's make it claret and blue. Lets get the stadium rocking. ⚒️

Karren Brady delivered for West Ham United’s shareholders but not for the club’s supporters. In 2013, she promised fans “a world-class stadium with a world-class team”. West Ham currently have neither. They have an athletics arena with a team fighting relegation. Brady has done some good things in her 16 years at West Ham, during which they won a European trophy, but ultimately she will be remembered for letting the fans down. Her departure from West Ham, first reported by the Times and now confirmed by the club, is being celebrated by many fans. Sadly, some cross the line with their offensive comments about Brady.

Supporters are quizzical about West Ham joint-chair Daniel Kretinsky’s statement about Brady leaving. “Her contribution to West Ham United’s growth, such as the long-term contract for the London Stadium, shareholders transition and the British record transfer of Declan Rice, has been absolutely essential and not always fully appreciated.” Much to unpick here...

1) how much growth? West Ham reported a £104.2m loss in their most recent financial figures. A club record. Revenue down. Accounts show a substantial loan taken out from Rights and Media Funding Limited.

2) London Stadium. Great deal for board and for Brady but not for fans, manager or the team. Not for anyone who loves football. Crowd distant from the pitch, players detached from energy of the fans, it's a terrible place to watch football. They’ve gone from a much-loved, intimate, often intimidating family home at Upton Park to a soulless bowl. West Ham had to leave Upton Park to expand commercially, and meet ticket demand, but grabbing the Olympic Stadium was all about the deal and not the feel.

3) British transfer record. Yes, Brady got a good deal for Rice but Kretinsky should know that mention of selling your best player, your captain, your home-grown star and England international at a club that cherishes them, seems a strange way of suggesting achievement and ambition.

4) “not always fully appreciated”? not always fully sensible to have a dig at fans. Maybe appreciate their concerns.

Brady deserves some praise. She’s a pioneer, got things done, drove community initiatives (I hosted an event for her once and her knowledge of the issues and engagement were impressive). She also encouraged entrepreneurship (and not just on TV). Kretinsky, in his statement, adds that Brady is “also very highly appreciated in the Premier League leadership community and was an excellent representative of our club there”.

Many West Ham fans didn’t feel she represented them well enough. Ill-advised comments in 2016 about a desire “to rebrand the club” didn’t go down well. Brady tried to clarify the comments but fans remained concerned about anything that could change their heritage. An attempt to limit ticket concessions triggered further anger.

More widely, Brady’s criticism of the incoming Independent Football Regulator came against a backdrop of fans’ growing distrust of some owners and the leagues’ inability to police them properly. Read the room. Understand the concerns.

The growing disconnect between West Ham fans and Brady and chairman David Sullivan has led to protests against the pair. Brady has now left. Will Sullivan follow? “1-0 up,” came the message from a high-profile West Ham fan. “It’s half-time.” #WHUFC

@RightWingRFC72 @andymars1986 @FBAwayDays What and Europeans don’t? Most ultras all use the same la la la la la la la, ohh *insert club name* FC…. I also think that English fans are a lot better at creating organic chants between away and home fans. It’s natural and isn’t forced. Highs and lows. Just like in football.

@hfitch121 Really hope people don’t tell us to sit down in a safe standing section…

@AlecHitchSUFC @antsk Because they’ve never had the fans to fill it 😂😂

[Jake @Jake_anthony96]

@hammerstone81 @IWA1895 Define what you mean by fake and forced? What’s the difference between the same fans chanting at home instead of away? Quarter final, chance at Wembley, and you want everyone stood in silence? 🥱

[Jake @Jake_anthony96]

@ARobery @paulturner67 @IWA1895 Wow all makes sense now…

[Jake @Jake_anthony96]

@paulturner67 @IWA1895 I’m assuming you brought your BSOUT flag to the game and held it up during the game then?

Come down to our next concourse meet up. Who knows you might even like some of the songs we sing 😉

[Jake @Jake_anthony96]

@paulturner67 @IWA1895 Or fans might not necessarily want flags blocking their view of the game…
