West Ham intend to ban 200 fans from the London Stadium after crowd trouble marred their EFL Cup win over Chelsea on Wednesday night.

The Football Association have launched an investigation into the incident, which resulted in seven people being arrested, that could see both West Ham and Chelsea face sanctions.

But West Ham will look to offer a strong response after the latest case of fan unrest at the London Stadium, and have used extensive CCTV footage to identify 200 individuals who will be banned if there is clear evidence of “anti-social behaviour including offensive language, threatening behaviour, attempted breach of segregation and the throwing of coins and plastic bottles”.

A spokesperson for London Stadium partners West Ham United, E20 Stadium LLP and London Stadium 185 said: “An extensive safety and security operation was delivered in and around London Stadium throughout Wednesday’s match with close co-ordination between West Ham United, London Stadium 185 and the Metropolitan Police Service.

“A small number of individuals were intent on becoming involved in disorder and are being investigated, identified and banned from London Stadium as a matter of priority.

“The response of our safety and security teams was measured, fast and effective and we commend our stewarding and response personnel who were called to deal with several incidents of challenging behaviour.

“It must be stressed that the vast majority of West Ham United and visiting supporters have behaved impeccably and we are committed to ensuring that they can continue to support their team in a safe environment.

“We wish to thank the genuine supporters who are behaving impeccably when attending matches at London Stadium for their fantastic support. We wish to assure them that we will work tirelessly to ban those who seek to affect their enjoyment and match experience.”

West Ham’s move to the 60,000 capacity former Olympic Stadium has been beset with crowd issues - with the lack of permanent radio facilities for emergency services to use a contributory factor.

Supporters from both sides clashed in the closing minutes of the match, with seats being ripped up and coins thrown across a segregated area.

Fans had clashed in matches against Watford and Middlesbrough earlier this season and police officers were deployed inside the London Stadium for the first time last night as it hosted its first derby match.

The stadium’s Safety Advisory Group, which includes Newham Council and owners the London Legacy Development Corporation, will discuss the incident at their next meeting, where they will be joined by the Metropolitan Police.

There are no plans to review the stadium’s safety certificate.

Three people were tonight charged following the match violence, Scotland Yard said.

James Colin Smith, 36, of Monklands, Letchworth Garden City, was charged with common assault, assault on police, and possession of class-A drugs.

Nicholas Greenway, 51, of Eversleigh Road, Battersea, was charged with threatening behaviour under section four of the Public Order Act.

And Michael Parker, 27, of Alexandra Road, Mitcham, has been charged with throwing missiles contrary to section two of the Football Offences Act.

All three have been bailed to appear at Thames Magistrates' Court in November.
