Karren Brady, the club’s vice chairman, said: Last year I re-stated the clubs commitment to supporters that we were constantly working hard to continue to enhance the matchday experience at every level.“My team and I have been working hard in the background with stadium management, mindful that seating is something supporters wanted us to explore and we have listened. Following positive feedback on the initial concept we are pleased that we are now in a position to be able to move forward.“As part of the process it is important, first and foremost, that we consult with fans currently in those stands on any proposals and have already started that process.“The club and stadium are committed to working together to ensure we have a home that our fans deserve and can be proud of.”West Ham have called the London Stadium home since the start of the 2016/17 season, and the club have recently been involved in legal disputes with the London Legacy Development Corporation, the stadium’s owners, over various issues including the ground’s maximum capacity and the colour of material surrounding the pitch.
