West Ham will not cut ticket prices if they are relegated, chairman Eggert Magnusson said. He criticised the chairmen and chief executives at other Premiership clubs who have announced price reductions or freezes for next season as 'politicians trying to make themselves popular'. The Icelander claimed the average salary of a fan who attends Upton Park regularly is so high - 'It's just below Chelsea, at around ££60,000 per year', he said - that price cuts are unnecessary.

Is it an April 1st joke ? ( or which planet is this boy from!)

They're a London club - down there you can earn £50,000 a year as a roadsweeper.

I tend to think the socio-economic make up of Hammers fans is VERY different though from Chelsea.

Ford Dagenham workers vs Surrey Stockbrokers!
