The owner of West Ham United's home has raised concerns it was not told about safeguarding restrictions.
The Story So Far
West Ham United owner David Sullivan is reportedly subject to specific safety protocols that were not disclosed to key stakeholders. The organization responsible for managing the club's home ground voiced apprehensions after learning they were not notified about these particular interaction limitations. Similarly, the leadership of the women's professional side indicated a total lack of prior knowledge regarding the restrictions. These measures involve guidelines intended to regulate contact, yet the apparent breakdown in internal communication has raised significant questions about administrative oversight. Stadium operators are now reviewing how such sensitive information is shared to ensure all future protection requirements are properly implemented across club facilities.
