They include moving fans and netting off more seats by the away section.
West Ham’s five-point plan will see them . . .
- Create more distance between opposing fans to prevent missile throwing by widening segregation.
- Remove risk groups from the stadium permanently with a zero-tolerance banning policy.
- Build higher barriers and a ten-metre-wide area of segregation on the lower concourse walkway.
- Segregate fans as they exit using a physical barrier either side of the away turnstiles.
- Issue a group of stewards with video cameras. Stewards currently have cameras on their armour but West Ham hope this will act as a clear and visible deterrent.
