• West Ham explain board appointed by independent panel
A representative on West Ham United’s newly formed official supporters’ board has placed the club in an awkward position after expressing support for the Democratic Football Lads Alliance, a group condemned by anti-racism campaigners.
Greg Smith, who was present when the board held its first meeting with Karren Brady, West Ham’s vice-chairman, and other club officials last week, was asked by the Guardian whether his attendance at October’s DFLA march in London was compatible with his position as a fan representative.
