STRIFE TREV: AGGRO IS A DOWNER
EAST END royalty Sir Trevor Brooking has warned West Ham will go down if the “aggressive” climate persists at home games.
The Hammers legend stayed in his seat, while the directors’ box was evacuated in the face of Saturday’s frightening fan fury.
Sir Trevor (below) said: “There is no way the team is going to play, and get the points to stay up, under that sort of atmosphere – it is impossible.
“That atmosphere must never come back in the five remaining home games.
Otherwise the club is in serious trouble and the players won’t be able to deliver.
“The level of aggression was something I couldn’t believe West Ham fans would get involved in.”
BBC commentator John Motson, who was a guest in the directors’ box, said: “It was the most scary moment I’ve had at a football ground – I’d even go back to that riot Luton and Millwall had back in 1985.”
