West Ham quietly scrap plans for ‘David Sullivan Stand’

West Ham United have quietly scrapped plans for a ‘David Sullivan Stand’ at the London Stadium, it’s been revealed. 

It comes after ‘the king of porn’ was surprisingly accused of preying on women, with West Ham now deciding against renaming a stand after their former chairman. 

“It admittedly wasn’t our best idea,” said West Ham chairwoman Vanessa Gold.

“In hindsight, we probably should’ve realised he was a bit dodgy when he self-described himself as a ‘collector of women’. He also said ‘I have a desire to make love to most women’. So yeah, perhaps not the ideal person to be naming one of our stands after. 

“It’s not exactly been a great year for Hammers fans. Relegated from the Premier League, probably losing Jarrod Bowen and now their chairman has been accused of being a predator. I’m almost tempted just to fold the club and start again. Maybe we can do a Pro Evolution Soccer rename like the East End Clarets or the East London Irons. 

“The real question is what are we going to call the West Stand now? We’ve got the Bobby Moore Stand, the Trevor Brooking Stand and the Billy Bonds Stand. I don’t know. Maybe the Geoff Hurst Stand or the Alvin Martin Stand? It’s a tough decison. 

“Fuck it. The Danny Dyer Stand it is.”
