Police called to West Ham end of season party following trouble with fans – report

West Ham United relegated to Championship

Trouble reportedly broke out at West Ham United’s end of season party on Monday after one of the Hammers’ players refused to give fans his autograph.

The gala dinner was held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London with attendance costing fans £275 each, but it reportedly turned sour when West Ham striker Demba Ba didn’t sign autographs, apparently claiming instead that he was infact “too tired”.

The Daily Mail understands that this angered many of the fans who attended which reportedly lead to some of them hurling abuse at the former Hoffenheim man.

Following the situation with the player who scored twice against Wigan on Sunday, it is believed that security attempted to step in, but that apparently made it worse with plates and punches being thrown.

Ben Shepard, a celebrity supporter of the Hammers and host of the party, is believed to have appealed for calm whilst the altercation ensued, whilst a gang of men were then chased from the building by security with two police cars turning up moments later.

It is believed that West Ham players were threatened with a fine of one weeks wages if they didn’t turn up to the event after the club was relegated from the Premier League on Sunday.
