West Ham United supporters have reacted with sarcasm to the laying of the Claret ‘carpet’ surrounding the pitch at the London Stadium.
The club, per Football.London, are looking to unveil the carpet against Leicester City this weekend when the two sides meet in the Premier League.
A green cover was initially installed to hide the running track when the Hammers moved into the stadium back in 2016.
But that has now been changed as the Irons look to bring more identity into their ground.
The carpet features Hammers branding as well as being the same colour as the club’s home shirt.
Football.London report that the previous cover had actually been deemed unsafe and that the Irons’ owners, David Sullivan and David Gold, essentially had no choice but to replace it.
The unveiling has led to much mirth and sarcasm around the fanbase, with several green patches still visible, and many wondering if it will have any tangible effect on matters on the pitch.
Take a look at the best of the reaction below!
